The Man: Richard L. Booth
Perspective . . . the reason you will want him for
your builder.
A Builder With Perspective
Richard Booth's perspective comes from years
of experience in building homes, apartments, and
developments in various climates, terrains,
price levels, and using
a broad array of materials. He can look at an
architect's designs and visualize what that
creator had in mind, then ask pertinent questions
regarding practicality, usefulness of space, energy
efficiency, and cost
to build.
Booth
believes that true creativity produces a design
that is fresh, beautiful, and
useful. This is achieved when the architect teams
with an insightful builder before the first shovel
of dirt is turned. The result: Booth protects the
reputation of the architect, and the satisfaction
and funds of the client developer or homeowner.
Philosophy
"The disappointment of poor quality lingers
long after the sweetness of cheap price is forgotten.”
This is Richard Booth’s favorite
quote. He believes that when you consider re-work,
call-backs,
and the disillusionment of unsatisfied customers;
inferior craftsmanship costs the same as quality
work. So, he says, do quality work first and always,
and within the stated budget.
He
also believes that to fulfill middle America’s
housing dreams, builders and architects must
mesh function and form. He maintains that every
design can be:
- Beautiful
- Practical
- Cost effective
- Energy efficient
- Unique
Building for Today and Tomorrow
"In the 1980's,"; says Booth, "homes were built with a lot of space... useless, inefficient space. Wasted space is wasted money. Let's think of the homeowner's house value per square foot and give them the most home for the money."
Booth also stresses the need for builders to respond to current family trends such as children moving back home or parents moving in with their children. New housing plans must be considered that address these cultural realities.
Despite his common sense approach to building, Booth never loses sight of the value of aesthetics. Lovely, unique designs, coupled with function and quality are the stamp of a Booth home that instills pride in ownership for years to come.
