www.oakvillebeaver.com The Oakville Beaver, Friday March 28, 2008 - 31 Lifestyles by Barons offers a unique and refreshing approach to home renovation Our home is our haven. It's where we entertain, raise our children, relax... it's where we live. Many of us dream of a home filled with luxurious finishes, modern amenities and elegance. But in a day-and-age where these types of home come with very impressive price tags, many of us purchase builder grade homes that just never measure up, have now become very dated or have limited functionality. That's where Design/Build firm, Lifestyles by Barons comes in. Owned and operated by Gordon Baron, a former executive in the telecommunications industry, Baron understands exactly what it takes to create a company that exceeds customer's expectations. Lifestyles by Barons is unique and based on the premise that total customer satisfaction comes from a true understanding of the client's needs and wants, and how they are interwoven with their lifestyle. "For myself and my team, success means building a solid foundation by listening to you, to better understand your needs," explains Baron. "By first building a solid virtual design plan, we can then deliver exceptional results that become the foundation for amazing transformations; all too often this first step is sadly ignored" Lifestyles understands that everything has to work in unison to provide complete satisfaction. "We never lose sight of the fact that each project is as unique as each of our clients and that no one solution will work for everyone," explains Baron. "That's why we focus not only on structures, but on the people who call them home. Understanding more about you allows us to take that consultative approach to the design phase to ensure that once the work is done you have a space that fulfills your current and future needs." "We've seen clients get lost amid the design disciplines not collaborating with the skilled trades and vice versus. Compound this with suppliers not delivering to schedule, and the result is the client being stranded with escalating costs and meaningless deadlines, with minimal results." With Lifestyles there approach is clearly different. They handle the full design, 3D drawings, prior to work being begun, procurement and full build services, resulting in true accountability and delivery. "We believe this approach is truly unique to Lifestyles says Baron." After years in the industry, Lifestyles knows that satisfying a client is done through a careful balance of design, creativity, budget management, communication and organization. Their hands-on approach is one that is truly unique, and providing a level of expertise, dedication, passion and return on investment beyond expectations. Their customer satisfaction is measured by the response Lifestyles gets from their clients. "My expectations were not even near what the result was," explains Sally from the Bishop project. "I am in awe of my home, I never thought it could look like this." This pleased client goes on to explain how other firms didn't understand her needs. "They had no enthusiasm. Then I met Lifestyles. They came in and re-designed my whole home. I loved their designs, they took the whole project and completed it beyond my expectations." Lifestyles has been recognized for bringing design and functionality together seamlessly, ensuring that every element flows from room to room, providing continuity and warmth. "Clients are involved in the design from start to finish. Every detail is meticulously crafted with a relentless focus on detail which translates to exceptional results," says Baron. These designs are not your typical static drawings. They come to life in three-dimensional custom renderings to give a real sense of what will be created prior to construction. "The drawings become our blueprints for success allowing for the details to be understood, facilitating course corrections prior to construction," explains Baron. "This reduces the costs of overruns and helps us deliver your dreams!"
