The journey to creating your ideal home is filled with potential pitfalls, from confusing processes and unexpected costs to outcomes that don't align with your vision. The complexity of building a custom home can often feel daunting, necessitating a builder who not only understands your vision but also transparently guides you through the process. Choosing the right builder for your dream home is a crucial decision that can shape your future living experience.

Our Product
Experiencing Our Craftsmanship Firsthand
At AV Architects + Builders, we believe in the importance of seeing and feeling the quality of a builder's work firsthand. Unlike other builders who may offer tours of model homes, we provide a more personal experience. Our co-founders, Francisca and Tony, open up their own residence, The Architect House, for private tours. This approach not only demonstrates our confidence in our work but also ensures that potential clients can witness the livability and craftsmanship of our homes as they are truly meant to be seen — lived in and loved.
The Architect House: A Model of Our Custom Capabilities
The Architect House is not just a home; it's a showcase of what we can do. As custom builders, we don't use one-size-fits-all solutions. Each corner of The Architect House reflects personalized design decisions, from innovative uses of space to meticulous details, all of which illustrate our commitment to quality and functionality.
Our Process
A Straightforward and Transparent Journey
One of the biggest hurdles in custom home building is the complexity and mystery often associated with the process. We've designed our workflow to be as transparent and straightforward as possible. From the initial design sketches to selecting materials and outlining the cost details, our process is laid out clearly for clients. This transparency ensures that there are no surprises, allowing our clients to feel secure and involved every step of the way.
Comprehensive Management from Start to Finish
Our team handles all aspects of the construction process, ensuring that every phase is managed with precision and attention to detail. By providing a clear cost breakdown and timeline upfront, we address one of the most common fears clients have: unexpected costs and extended timelines. This not only helps in building trust but also in maintaining a smooth and predictable project flow.
Our Personal Touch
Single Point of Contact
Unlike the typical experience with many construction firms where clients are shuffled between sales, design, and construction teams, AV Architects + Builders ensures a singular point of contact throughout the entire project. This model of continuity eliminates the frustration of repeated storytelling and the risks of miscommunication. It also builds a strong, personal relationship between the client and the builder.
Your Personal Guide: Francisca Alonso
Francisca, our CEO, takes pride in guiding each client personally from the initial Discovery Call to the exciting move-in day and beyond. Her role as your consistent guide through the process not only ensures accountability but also provides a personalized touch that is rare in the industry. This unique aspect of our service offers peace of mind and a personal connection that enhances the overall experience.
