Craftsmen’s Guild can turn its clients’ dreams into reality.

Craftsmen’s Guild, Inc. is a design/build contractor that provides complete remodeling and custom home building services for homeowners throughout the South Bay and Peninsula. The company’s experienced staff of designers and building professionals handle every aspect of clients’ projects, including structural and aesthetic design, planning, engineering, and city permitting.

Owners Moe, Mike and Matt Amini say their ability to collaborate on construction projects has been an important part of Craftsmen’s Guild’s success. “Each of us is an expert in a specific field,” explains Mike Amini. “I have a degree in architecture, Matt has a structural engineering degree and Moe has a degree in business management. This allows us to work together and complete projects without the outside help of structural engineers, architects, and designers.”

In 2021, Craftsmen’s Guild won a Best of Cupertino award from the Cupertino Award Program. The company uses a variety of cutting-edge technology to make the design process as simple and intuitive as possible, including a 3D rendering program that allows clients to take “visual walkthroughs” of their projects before any work begins. “It’s very important for us to keep our design promises to our clients,” says Mr. Amini. “They take comfort in knowing we’ll do everything we can to turn their visions into reality.”

“Everything we do is designed to make sure our clients are happy, and we accomplish that by working closely with them and completing their projects to their exact specifications. Our goal and motto is integrity, honesty, and quality toward each client’s complete satisfaction.”

Use scrutiny when choosing a design/build contractor.
A true design/build company puts the collaborative entities of architectural design and construction under a single roof as a unified team. There are numerous benefits to this kind of solidarity: It saves time and money by allowing you to pay one company for the entire scope of work, allows for better accountability and communication between the architectural and construction departments, and places the responsibility for every aspect of the construction process on a single entity. To make sure you hire the right design/build company for your particular needs, consider the following tips:

Check references.
Before hiring a company, determine how long it has been in the industry and look at its prior work. This will help ensure you find a company that can take your project from conception to reality.

Be flexible about your vision.
Remember that you’re not an expert in the field of architecture or construction. A contractor will work with you to achieve your vision for the project, but this will most likely entail some modifications. Keep yourself open to suggestions if a contractor offers alternative options to your initial ideas. “A contractor should strive to work with you to achieve your goals, but ultimately, their integrity depends on the quality of their work,” says Mike Amini, co-owner of Craftsmen’s Guild, Inc. in Cupertino. “Reputable contractors don’t want to be responsible for low-quality products, even if their clients insist.”

Ask questions about project specifics.
• Are you dedicated to making my project a top priority?
• What challenges do you foresee for my project?
• Do you notice any important issues or considerations for my project?
• What’s your estimated timetable for my project?
• How will you collect information about my needs and goals?
• How will you help me fully understand the scope and sequence of my project? Will you utilize models, drawings or computer animation?

Design/build contractors are always looking for ways to distinguish themselves from their competition, and those that have earned the prestigious Diamond Certified award are already several steps ahead. In addition to its Diamond Certified status, Craftsmen's Guild, Inc. sets itself apart by taking a collaborative approach to every project that combines the family-oriented business practices and industry expertise of three brothers, each of whom specializes in a unique aspect of the construction process. "I have a degree in architecture, Matt has a degree in structural engineering and Moe has a degree in marketing," explains co-owner Mike Amini. "Between the three of us, we're able to offer a full range of design/build services."

Craftsmen's Guild has been providing complete remodeling and custom home building services for homeowners throughout the South Bay and Peninsula since 1976. The company's experienced staff of designers and building professionals handle every aspect of clients' projects, including structural and aesthetic design, planning, engineering and city permitting.

Unlike contractors that lack expertise in certain aspects of the construction process and are forced to use subcontractors as a result, Craftsmen's Guild utilizes its design/build capabilities to streamline its services and ensure each client has a satisfying, stress-free experience. "People feel more comfortable when they work with one source," says Mr. Amini. "That's what design/build is supposed to be–the same company handling the designing, engineering and construction. We take full responsibility for every aspect of every project, and our clients really appreciate that."

Another attribute that sets Craftsmen's Guild apart from its competition is its dedication to working closely with clients in order to achieve the highest possible levels of satisfaction. "We never want our clients to feel like their projects are out of their hands or they're unable to communicate with us," explains Mr. Amini. "Instead, we listen to their ideas, take notes and provide finished products that match what they envisioned at the beginning of the process."

The Amini brothers have been working together for more than four decades.-Craftsmen's Guild, Inc.The Amini brothers have been working together for more than four decades.

The fact that they can internally be the architect and the builder, is wonderful. But, their billing system is not very good. It's hard to follow the billing system, because the descriptions of what was included in each bill are too vague.
