A seamless collaborative partnership between owners and artisans, The Ehrlichs put themselves in good hands with professional vendors, expert designers, and enthusiastic craftsmen.  Over and over, they heard from friends, families, and the casual observer, "you know, it just doesn't usually go this smoothly, right?"  With shared interests and motivation to get it all done well, on time, and on budget, everyone stayed engaged and focused on a successful project through transparent communication and realistic choices followed by decisions that "stuck."
