Robert Klob Designs, Inc. - Designs Outside of Arizona

Global Design Services

Robert Klob Designs is regularly contacted from individuals and builders alike to design projects outside of our home state of Arizona. While many see this as a challenge – we welcome the opportunities. Robert Klob Designs, Inc. has structured our business to make it easy for our long distance clients. Utilizing today’s technology, we can exchange plans across town or around the world just as quick. We email plans in a standard PDF format that can be printed on any printer. We can review via phone or you can email comments back to us, then in a few days you get a new, revised version. Everyone is busy today and we have found that this way the review takes place at your convenience and we don’t have to coordinate a face to face meeting. An added bonus is that during a phone meeting, we can make the updates during the call then email – within seconds you have the revised plan and can comment.

One recent project RKD designed in Virginia went thru this process with the general contractor and the client. We were able to email and have 3-way phone calls with the client, the contractor and our office, then email the revised plans during the conversation to all the parties for their comments. Once that project was done, the general contractor commented about the process, saying “It was easier to design a home with clients and RKD that were thousands of miles apart than it is with the architect that is only a mile from my office”.

What if I need you to see the site or if there is an issue during construction?

Robert Klob will personally visit your site should you need for any reason. Our only requirement is that you pay all travel costs such as airfare, hotel and car for the amount of time needed. If the time is outside of the original scope of work, there will be an hourly charge for the time specifically spent on your project. Travel time and per diem will not be billed for projects in North America.

Here is a recent scenario for a project in Texas.

The jobsite meeting was to be early in the morning so Mr. Klob flew out the afternoon before and spent the night in a hotel, we met and reviewed the issues and came to a resolution and a letter was drafted for the contractor & inspector. He was able to catch an evening flight back that same day.

The cost to the client for this trip was for the round trip airfare, hotel for 1 night, 6 hours of meeting time and one day car rental. Since we were able to plan this trip out a few weeks in advance, the total cost was less than $800. However, because of the meeting, Robert was able to save the client about 2 weeks in time and nearly $4,000 in added costs the inspector was attempting to require.
