Custom Fabricators Serving the Tri-State Area
DNJ: How did Jerry’s role as both homeowner and
builder affect the design/build process?
JI: My career has been in management consulting,
and this was my first major foray into building
from the ground up. As the builder, I was able to be
intimately involved in every decision: architecture,
construction and design. And since I was building
for myself, my choices often (always) skewed toward
not cutting any corners. I worked closely with our
architect, who has been a friend since high school.
We started with a crude diagram that I drew in
PowerPoint and ended up, after many iterations,
with our dream home.
AP: Based on that diagram, we used advanced
software to create the house digitally — with all
the exterior and interior details — long before
construction was underway. This gave the homeowners
reassurance that the aesthetic, layout and
overall scale matched their vision. DNJ
