MATURO DISEGNA is a California licensed (#697641) General Contractor and Interior Design/Space Planning firm that provides design and construction services.  These services are combined into a Design-Build package or provided independently. Services also include Interior Design, Owner/Builder consultation and Project Management.

 

The Design/Build option is very popular because it has several advantages:

• Design concepts are developed from the beginning between the Designer/Builder and the client that reflect a realistic understanding of construction costs and the budget guidance established by the client.

• The Design/Build process delivers the completed project much faster than traditional design and construction methods.This time savings means cost savings.

• The Design/Build package offers more for each dollar expended.

• Construction is managed by the Designer who is on the job or in direct communication with the workers on a daily basis.This ensures that the drawings are interpreted properly to implement the design intent.

• The client’s project has one point of accountability because the Designer is the Builder!

 

MATURO DISEGNA is unique in the way in which the Design/Build services are provided.  We work to develop a design that meets the client’s functional, aesthetic, and budget needs.  The design also factors in knowledge of the impact specific design situations will have on real estate marketability and the economic return on the investment.  After the preliminary design is approved, we prepare a planning cost estimate to assist the client in understanding the dollar consequences of various decisions that will be made in preparation of complete construction drawings.  Our experience in design and construction enables us to offer guidance in the selection of specific products, materials, and finishes that optimize the value received for the intended budget. Finally, mock-ups and scale models may be built as a final tool and visual aid that brings real life three dimensional perspective for the client, workers, and government agencies that are involved with the permitting process.

 

Guy Maturo is the principal designer and California Licensed General Building Contractor DBA as MATURO DISEGNA (CA.lic. #697641).

Guy Maturo also provides Architectural Design services and Owner/Builder consultation independent of construction. This is a great alternative to realizing the vision on paper and rendering for future construction consideration. Interior Design services are also offered in-house by Guy Maturo and/or  Erin Maturo, Allied Member ASID. This husband/wife Architectural and Interior design team combine fluently with close proximity and understanding of the others respective responsibilities and concepts.

 

Complete design projects include single family custom homes, up-scale remodels, room additions, swimming pools and spas, exterior hardscape, architectural detailing, and shade structures. Inspired by classical and modern design concepts, as well as 30 plus years of working hands-on with custom Masonry, Structural Concrete, Wood Framing, Tile, Electrical, and precision Finish Carpentry provides for a well detailed and structurally sound project.

 

MATURO DISEGNA takes pride in the fact that the designers work “hands-on” on every project.  This approach helps to keep close account of the progress, layout, cost, and quality of the project.

 

It is encouraged, and expected to have extensive client interaction within the design phase, as well as the construction phase.  Our goal is to create the ultimate living space for the client, and there is no better way of achieving that without the exchange of ideas, concepts, and needs from the client, and combining them to create a comprehensive and practical, as well as beautiful finished product

The objective is to create a one-of-a-kind luxury product that is unique to the individuality of the family that resides in it.  After all, this is the essence of “custom building”.  The end product is an icon into the distant future of the character and existence of the individual or family that built it, literally making history.

 

Pride is taken in having a strong sense of design, and converting desire into design. However, never forget that a design’s weak point is generally a result of poor detailing.  Detailing of a construction assembly is as important as the aesthetic appeal of the design itself.  The necessary steps are taken to properly detail construction assemblies that create a stable, long-lasting structure.

 

Finally, and most importantly, the client should have fun with the process.  From design development to, and through the construction phase, there will be many decisions, and choices to make.  The goal is to improve your living space and lifestyle.  The way you go about it makes all the difference in the world.  Know what you want, decide on a workable budget, take time up front to plan – and the rest will follow.
