The Adkins Experience

The Design-Build Journey

Construction doesn’t have to be overwhelming. We guide you through every step with clarity and confidence – so you always know what to expect. Here are a few key things to keep in mind:

The design and material selection phase is full of opportunities to personalize your space. Your timely input helps us keep everything moving smoothly and ensures your vision is brought to life.
We pride ourselves on maintaining momentum and seeking every opportunity to stay on schedule. While we aim for speed, we also ensure that quality and attention to detail remain top priorities.
Construction involves many moving parts, and while perfection is the goal, occasional hiccups can happen. When they do, we address them promptly and take proactive steps to prevent repeat issues—always striving to improve.
Sometimes, changes or new insights may lead to adjustments in the plan. We have a clear process in place for handling these smoothly and transparently, helping to keep everything aligned with your goals.
Life can bring surprises- weather events, global shifts, or industry-wide changes -but rest assured, we’re always ready to adapt and keep your project moving forward.
We work within a thoughtfully prepared budget range, with clear allowances to guide your financial decisions. While some costs may shift during the process, we keep you informed and empowered every step of the way.

Frequently Asked Questions

Here are the answers to our most commonly asked questions

We normally allot 8-10 weeks for our Design Phase. This varies by project and is based on the complexity of the project. This time allotment may be extended if decisions are delayed.

Permitting takes as long as it takes, that is the simple answer. The building departments have a ‘first come, first served’ system and we simply get in line. Occasionally it can take up to 3 months for permit issuance. 

We’re happy to serve clients in: Bradenton, Longboat Key, Anna Maria Island, Holmes Beach, Bradenton Beach, Lakewood Ranch, Parrish, Ellenton, Palmetto, Sarasota.

Once your permit is issued, we can potentially begin construction within 2 weeks. We move as quickly as we can. You are encouraged to follow along with our schedule by viewing the GANTT in BuilderTrend.

There is not a single answer here as each project is very different. However, we move as quickly as we can within the conditions we have. You can follow the schedule in BuilderTrend by viewing the GANTT.
