Growing up in Ireland, within a construction oriented family, we had many 'robust' discussions about the merits of different buildings. We had to assess the merits of structures that were two thousand, three thousand and maybe even five thousand years old. My father gave us five categories with which to rate our opinions. 

1). Appearance:
Is the design appealing. Does it look well crafted. Is there some individuality built in or just 'cookie cutter'      expediency. In short, how much thought went into what the world sees as it drives by. Was curb appeal considered.

2). Orientation:
Were the natural surroundings a factor in the design. Does the structure blend or conflict.

3). Adaptability:
Will the structure serve multiple purposes over time. Will it appeal to a small family just as readily as a large one.

4). Function:
Once inside, is it a maze of walls, doors, one-person specific nooks or haphazard placement of conveniences and appliances? Or does it possess, what we nowadays call, Feng Shui - a free flowing, comfortable, relaxed setting.

5). Value:
Was this value for their time and money ? Both short term and long term value must be addressed.

Today, with over thirty years of my own in the industry, I have enjoyed putting those same categories to work for me, and my customers, as we create the perfect fit for their families, lives and loved ones.
From San Francisco's "painted ladies",  to coastal "buttermilk palaces", to Victorian mansions, to desert dwellings, to earthquake prone areas, to flood zones, we have proven ourselves to be leaders in the industry.
