Hladecek Job Synopsis

Jim and Lucy Hladecek contacted KSI about design and building costs in the spring of 1996. We were put under contract in the fall of 1996 to perform design work on the house and to prepare a preliminary budget. The Hladeceks had a sketch of a home from a magazine that they liked very much and Lucy had prepared a scrapbook with interior features she had cut out of magazines over the years. Having this data was very beneficial in the preparation of drawings and gave us an idea of what the Hladeceks wanted in a home. They were also very concerned that the house would be creatively sited on the lot to ensure that the large trees would be saved.

We spent most of the fall of 1996 and early 1997 developing drawings and specifications. The Hladeceks spent most of 1997 preparing for their retirement and their move out west from Virginia. During this time the plans were further refined and shipped between our offices and their home in Virginia. The Hladeceks sold their home in early 1998, a permit was issued in March and construction work started in April. The Hladeceks moved in to their completed home in November of 1998.
