Bradley Design opened its doors for business in 1992 when Brad Buss saw a need for Colorado custom home builders and their clients to build more creative designs with precisely detailed plans. The home building industry and homeowners themselves were becoming more sophisticated. Brad's knowledge of computers, self taught training in AutoCAD, prior experience in residential constructon, and his artistic vision were the perfect unique blend to keep pace with the growing luxury custom home market. 

One of the greatest rewards of success is having the opportunity to consciously indulge our imaginations and transform the space in which we live to harmonize with our individual lifestyles. The guiding philosophy at Bradley Design is staying responsive, while removing ego from the equation, and striving to get to the client's goals with structural solutions found. Compromises and sensible decisions must be at the forefront as form follows function. That said, there is a narrow line between overall good and bad design. The relationship between all involved inherently requires a collaborative effort. The client must be allowed to have a personally enriching and enjoyable experience while guided through the design process.

Bio

With over twenty five years in residential and commercial construction, Brad has developed a mastery of home building. This adept talent began while wearing nail bags. In his early adulthood, he was a hard working carpenter on framing crews during summer vacation from college. In 1981, Brad graduated with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Construction Management from Colorado State University. From there, he worked for commercial contractors and home builders both in the office and field. Experience in estimating, job costing, and field supervision provided him with tools he still uses today. Brad also worked for two years in a lumber yard's truss department where he developed an expertise in trussed roof systems. That expertise, as well as his college training in structural engineering, has enabled him to perform in house structural analysis and layouts of the framework for his designs. 

Design Philosophy

Although the emphasis at Bradley Design is architectural design, Brad has built several of his designs and can either provide services as a general contractor or provide on site inspection. Services provided can be shaped to the clients need, either consulting on an hourly basis or building a home on a cost-plus fee basis. Brad has established a rapport with many subcontractors and suppliers in Colorado. If you still have not selected a builder, Brad can easily guide you through the planning stages up to the building permit. If you prefer, he will gladly and readily refer you to highly qualified builders who have teamed up well with past clients of Bradley Design.
