Introduction: One primary benefit of using SPEC Consulting as your design firm is that Gary has extensive knowledge in many different engineering fields, in addition to architectural design and the construction trades. Having worked as a contractor all through high school and college and continuing to do his own home remodeling projects, he has the hands-on experience that most architects and engineers simply don't have.
This broad knowledge base combined with his hands-on experience allows him to design well-thought-out buildings that are very functional as well as straightforward to build. This substantially reduces construction costs because the contractor can see that the major components and systems of the building have been thought out and planned in advance to work together.
Contractors also like that his designs are easy to build and are not over-engineered, saving them (and the client) time and money. His drawings are also easy to understand and he is available to answer any questions that may come up during the construction process, often regularly visiting the construction site to check on progress and to verify that the building is being constructed properly.
