You drew it.
We build it the way you intended.
AK Renovations is a Summit County GC built around reading drawings carefully, flagging constructability issues before we cut, and respecting design intent through punch list. If you need a residential builder who treats your set like a set, not a suggestion, let's talk.
Two Ways We Work With Architects
One project, or every project.
Same standard either way.
Some architects bring us a single addition or a gut renovation. Others put AK on their preferred-builder list for recurring residential work in Summit County. Either way you get a GC who reads your set, calls with RFIs in writing, and does not value-engineer your details out of the project on the side.
Project bid and build
Send the set for pricing. We do a constructability review, return a fixed-price proposal, and execute the build with a written RFI log and a punch-list sign-off you control.
- Constructability review of every drawing before bid
- Fixed-price proposal with line-item breakdown
- Comfortable with stamped sets and addenda
- Written RFI log shared with you weekly
- AHJ coordination and inspection sign-offs handled
Preferred residential builder
For architects with recurring Summit County work, AK can sit on your short list of trusted builders. Same crew, same standards, predictable pricing across projects.
- Direct line to Adam, not a project manager wall
- Same field crew across projects for finish consistency
- We do not propose redesigns to your client
- Punch lists closed before final draw
- Project archive delivered at closeout
Why Architects Trust AK With Their Drawings
The builder who reads the set.
We read the drawings
Every sheet, every detail, every section. Before we price, we walk the set and flag anything that will not work in the field. You hear from us before we ever hand a number to the client.
Written RFIs, not field improvisation
If a detail is unclear, we send a written RFI to you with photos and options. We do not solve it on our own and tell you about it later. Your design intent stays intact because the decisions stay with you.
We respect design intent
No quiet value-engineering, no "we found a cheaper way," no substitutions on finishes or assemblies without your written approval. The set you stamped is the set we build.
27 years in Summit County
Adam Kilgore has personally worked in, remodeled, or built over 400 homes in Summit County over 27 years. He knows the AHJs, the inspectors, and the housing stock you are designing into.
Permits, inspections, AHJ coordination
As your licensed General Contractor, we pull every permit, schedule every inspection, and coordinate with the building department directly. You do not get pulled into job-site approvals.
Three to four jobs at a time, on purpose
We run only three to four projects at a time. Your project gets a build manager who knows it cold and a crew that does not rotate every two weeks. Continuity is how design intent makes it to closeout.
The Bigger Picture
If your client wants a long-range home plan
Some homeowners want more than the project on your boards. They want a long-range plan for the whole house with budgets for every project they will eventually take on. For those clients, Adam founded Hometown Builders Club, a separate program that delivers a Home Clarity Report and a lifetime advisor relationship.
HBC is optional and entirely separate from any architectural engagement. If your client wants in, we can make the introduction. Your role as the architect of record is not affected.
Full disclosure. AK Renovations is part of the Hometown Builders Club ecosystem. Adam Kilgore owns AK Renovations and founded Hometown Builders Club. We tell you that up front because honest partnerships start with honest disclosure. When you engage AK as your builder, the work is done by the same small crew under Adam's direct supervision regardless of whether HBC is involved.
