NORWICH MANOR

Anxious to get their home ideas on paper, the Illinois homeowners took them to their local architect with hopes that they would see their dreams come to life. That didn't happen. They weren't happy with what they saw.

The homeowner's younger brother, on the other hand, was very happy with the new home he recently built. He chose a Scholz home design and, with some modifications from the Scholz Design Team, was able to move into a home he loved. Seeing how satisfied his brother was, the older brother contacted us to see if we could create a custom home for his family as well.

He and his wife had a vision of what they wanted. Our Design Team married all their details, sketched up the first floor plan and then took their wish-list of ideas to create the second floor plan.

Preliminary sketches moved back and forth between our Design Team and the homeowners, phone calls and emails exchanged until the homeowners were happy with their final plan layout.

In a short time, the design of their timeless estate home was finally a reality—they couldn't wait to live in it!

Working closely with the Scholz Design Team resulted in a stunning home that will be enjoyed for a lifetime. And these Scholz Design clients learned, as many have, that working with the right team is more important than where the team works.

Here is what the homeowners wrote to their Scholz Home Design Expert:

Dear Cam,

I wanted to send both you and Jas a big THANK YOU a long time ago for doing such a great job in helping my wife and I design our new home and also in working closely with us when needed during the construction process. The end result is nothing short of spectacular. Yourself, Jas, Ben, and everyone else at Scholz who worked on our project really took a personal interest in making our experience with Scholz a delight and should be very proud to work for such a professional organization.

During the whole design process, the easy-to-work together environment along with Jas’s creativity, (and a little of our own) allowed us to really create a well thought out floor plan with many unique architectural elements and the ability to really add some great details into the design as construction moved forward. The speed with which we were able to send ideas back-and-forth and to revise the plans during this stage was really amazing.

The Permit process stage was especially memorable when you Fedex’ed the 405 pages of calculations in duplicate, (810 pages total) along with a few other revisions so I could drop them off at the village to satisfy their last minute requests. The level of detail on the plans was remarkable and I think impressed even our zoning officer. During the construction process, the various people we worked with at Scholz were always pleasant and professional and very timely in answering any questions or changes that we needed.

Cam, you especially have always been a pleasure to speak to and to work with. You always made sure to follow up on all of the things that needed attention. I especially liked the various ideas you would send our way to inspire us.

I hope that you and/or Jas can make it out to see us sometime and get a first-hand look at the finished product. I would love to take you or Jas on a tour. We are just absolutely thrilled to live in this home. Please feel free to call or E-mail me if you will be in town or if you have any other inspirational ideas you would like to share with us. Thank you all again.

Sincerely,
John
