KOSS design+build, pllc

We began a major renovation of a 1960s ranch in August of 2016 with Koss design+build. The scheduled completion date is this December. At this point in the project my wife and are 100% thrilled with the entire Koss team. We went into the project with a very clear picture of what we wanted. Koss improved on our original design. Their design input also ended up saving us money. Their subs have produced superior work at a pace that is almost too fast. To date, Koss has been completely honest and done everything they said they were going to do. All pricing was agreed upon prior to beginning construction. The entire process has been 100% transparent. It is always a joy to work with quality individuals. It has been 6 weeks since demo and there have been no surprises so far - in fact, the price has actually gone down a bit since the job began (Erik - We know refinishing the floors will throw this out of whack). I have attached a photo that shows the house before we started. I'll update the review and include a picture of the finished project when it's complete.

I'm a GC that's worked with Koss Design Build and I've known Erik for years. As a builder, we sometimes get sideways with architects and other builders on their plans and procedures, but every interaction I've had with Koss has been over the top great. I've had the pleasure of working with Erik on several projects. I've seen the background documents and legal barriers he creates to protect his clients as well as the on site supervision he deploys to make sure that every detail is accounted for. Koss behaves the way you THINK most contractors and architects do act, but most don't. I've seen Erik stress over not taking the apparent low bidder while he painstakingly calls up all the bidders and verifies that their scope of work are all the same, which it almost never is. Once he's done that, then he awards the ACTUAL low bidder, assuming they meet the pre-qualification process. The Pr-Qual process is huge; Getting the low bidder doesn't mean a thing if they don't have the right insurances, licensing, and references behind their name. I could go on, but as a construction professional and Owner of a contracting company, I have to give Erik Koss with Koss Design Build the highest marks for their performance, integrity, and professionalism. I wish there were more companies like Erik's out there!
