EXTRAORDINARY ENVIRONMENTS by H&G
This video is fast-paced and powerful. My intention in making it was to show the breadth and creative depth of the projects we have had the privilege to work on here at Hertzler & George. But more than the projects themselves, I hope to convey the talent of the committed members of the H&G team that bring these projects to life. They are the real story.

THE FIRST MEETING
Your first meeting with us will be at our office. This gives you a chance to see our operation from the inside out and to meet the members of the team, including our landscape architect, Phillip Merritt. I will walk you through our approach to a design/build project, review other projects we have done that are similar to yours, and discuss the design fees involved.
The goal of this initial meeting is to arrive at an Agreement for Preliminary Design and Budgeting. With this agreement and a retainer, we can begin working on your project.

Design/Build, also known as SINGLE-SOURCE responsibility, is an interactive effort in which the client and all company team members—from craftsmen to foremen to crew to designer—are involved in the building process from the start and work as a single entity under contract with the owner. It can produce significant cost and resource savings by:
Letter from a client:
“ Joe: Thanks for the great service! The design is amazing and we can’t wait to see it built.”
