The Home that Teamwork Built

It’s true that StreamLine TimberWorks is a builder of beautiful timber frame homes. But we’re really in the “Headache Removal” business.

Why did we see the need for pain relief? Because the old model has serious flaws.

The "Headache" Way:

In the old way, the headaches begin almost from the moment that you close on the property. You have to navigate your way through a very tall challenge, from determining what your home is going to look like, how it's going to be built, who is going to build it, managing the budget, managing a work site - all from hundreds of miles away, and usually over a period lasting several months, if not years.

Often, to compensate out-of-towners such as yourselves will rely too heavily on an architect or a builder. The result? If they rely too heavily on architects, the owners will typically get a house that is overdesigned. If they rely too heavily on builders, they typically will receive plans that are underdesigned.

And we haven't even mentioned the paperwork....ohhh, the paperwork. Permits, plans, filings, review boards. If not handled properly, they could cost you months in delays; even worse they could blow your budget apart

The StreamLine Solution

How do you get to Carnegie Hall? Practice, practice, practice! How do you build a StreamLine home? Process, process, process!

The process begins with teamwork and the StreamLine Team, begins with you! Through thorough and meaningful tools, all members of the team literally and figuratively get on the same page. Your home then is designed through open and honest dialogue ensuring that your home's plans are neither over- nor underdesigned. In addition, StreamLine brings to the table a local general contractor in each of the markets we serve. These contractors are part of long-term partnerships that we have developed through rigorous standards - in short, not every contractor can be a StreamLine partner.

Each of the three major phases, as well as every step within those phases has clear and specific deliverables. This gives you the control you need without the headaches you don't!

What's your next step?

If you're like many of the visitors to this Web site, you're diligently info-gathering about potential companies to work with on your Dream Home. That's terrific! In fact, we encourage you to compare the StreamLine Solution to any other companies you may consider.

But as you get quotes, review their work and check references, keep in mind the old apples-to-apples factor. In fact, at StreamLine, we take that a step further. You see, we're not the "apples"; we're not the "oranges" - we're the whole produce section!

When you get your quotes, what will those quotes be based on? If drawings, how do you know they're accurate? Problems with drawings are a major cause in projects spiraling off course for time and budget, and can easily be prevented. If the quotes you get are based on a contractor's formula, what aspects in your Dream Home might you be sacrificing without even knowing it? And then again, there is the question of who is going to manage the whole process - what dollar figure are you going to line-item for your own time? Your own energy? Your own stress? Your spouse's stress?

The StreamLine Solution is a disciplined, holistic process specifically created to get you what you want out of your dream home for what you are willing to invest in it.

If this approach sounds intriguing, contact us to see how you can begin your StreamLine process to build your dream home.
