At Home
With sites such as Pinterest and Houzz, consumers are more involved than ever in the building process. Jimmy says, “They have a vision. They bring us their pictures and ideas. We get paid to make it happen.” But as a building expert who understands construction, he is not afraid to offer “strong suggestions” on what might better suit their needs. Technology is making it even easier to keep an open and ongoing dialogue. Online platforms like CoConstruct (used by Jimmy Nash Homes) provide a customer dashboard where clients can participate in every stage of the building and design process. By allowing clients to see quotes, the building schedule, and financials, as well as pictures of the build’s progress on their computer or phone from anywhere in the world, all involved stay on the same page. According to Jimmy, “It promotes transparency and accountability and gives the client confidence.” Strong customer relationships, coupled with the company’s bold building designs, stellar reputation, and environmental consciousness, make Jimmy Nash Homes one of Lexington’s most preferred builders and an annual stand-out at the Grand Tour of Homes. And that is why The Gray Gables is such a phenomenal example of architecture elevated to art.
