Our Firm
Welcome to SKT Architects! Our principals, Randy Stehling and Brandon Weinheimer, proudly carry the legacy of their roots as 5th and 6th generation descendants of this storied area. Our firm is a testament to the deep connection we share with this community, blending history seamlessly with contemporary design. While Fredericksburg holds a special place in our hearts, our reach extends across Texas, where we weave narratives of architecture that reflect the unique spirit of each locale.
As a full-service architectural firm, we specialize in both residential and commercial design, offering a comprehensive range of services to bring your vision to life. Our commitment to developing enduring relationships with our clients is the cornerstone of our practice. From quaint homes to bustling commercial spaces, we believe in understanding the people and communities we serve, ensuring that our designs are not just structures but reflections of the aspirations of those who inhabit them.
Our design approach is anchored in five essential architectural services:
-
Schematic Design: We explore innovative ideas that form the foundation of our designs. Schematic design is where concepts take shape, aligning with the unique needs and dreams of our clients.
-
Design Development: Building upon approved concepts, our design development phase refines and elevates the vision. Here, we pay meticulous attention to functionality, aesthetics, and feasibility, ensuring a design that is both inspiring and practical.
-
Construction Documents: Precision is paramount in our comprehensive construction documents. These documents serve as the blueprint for construction, guiding contractors with detailed instructions to bring the vision to life.
-
Bidding: We believe in transparency and value. While the "Design-Bid-Build" process is the most common and well-known project delivery method, we are strong supporters of the Construction Manager at Risk (CMAR) delivery method, which involves the collaboration of the owner, designer, and construction manager from the project's inception. The CMAR process is designed to prioritize the client's needs, optimize project outcomes, and enhance the overall quality of construction projects. You can learn more about project delivery methods here.
-
Construction Administration: Our commitment extends beyond the design phase. Through active construction administration, we collaborate closely with contractors, ensuring that every detail is executed with precision, resulting in a finished project that exceeds expectations.
In addition to our core services, we recognize the importance of thorough pre-design services. Our approach includes comprehensive programming, site analysis, and meticulous documentation of existing structures, laying the groundwork for informed and successful design solutions.
At SKT Architects, we strive to craft spaces that are architecturally remarkable yet practical and consider every project an opportunity to create lasting connections through exceptional design.
