Vavrek Architects is a commercial architect firm established in 2005 based in the greater Chicago area. We believe in relationships, good design, practical solutions, enriching communities and environmental stewardship. Here's some of the key principles we work by: Communication. At the core of our business is our relationships built upon years of open communication and trust. In fact, most of our work comes from referrals from long-term clients, contractors, and consultants. Our communication style is personable, down-to-earth and receptive. It all starts with listening to our client’s goals and then collaborating with them to develop a clear vision and a concrete plan to execute it. Flexible. In a continually changing business environment, we adapt quickly and respond with the information and resources needed to complete projects that vary widely in size, scope, and complexity. Our team works cohesively and efficiently, supported by a network of suppliers and distributors to help us employ right-size technologies for each project. Innovative. Today’s most difficult challenges in design and construction require innovative and unique approaches. We leverage cutting-edge technologies to improve workflow and find innovative solutions for each project. Some of these technologies include 3D modelling, cloud transfer between clients and consultants, PDF review and mark up software, and construction administration workflow software. In addition, we employ energy- and material-saving innovations wherever possible, saving our clients on energy and construction costs while offering them value-added marketing and community-outreach opportunities. Accurate. Unlike many architects, we think of design in terms of constructability. As a result, we have a reputation for user-friendly drawings that make everyone’s job easier, more predictable and straightforward, particularly in the construction phase.
