About Camille-Alberice Architects

History

Camille-Alberice Architects was founded in 1989 by Robert Camille, Jr. and Peter Y. Alberice. Until July 2006, we were located at 32 Broadway in downtown Asheville, in our award-winning renovated historic Jenkins Building.

In August 2006 our office moved to our new location in the 12 South Lexington Ave. building.

Our firm employs eight professionals: consisting of registered architects, intern architects, construction supervisors, technical staff and clerical staff. This staffing guarantees that our clients receive the attention their projects require.

We are small enough to focus on each project and large enough to handle considerable production demands. Be assured that your project will always be a priority.

Construction Background

The architects at Camille-Alberice Architects, P.A. have developed exceptional creative talent. We believe the most successful buildings evolve from expertise not only in architectural design, but also in construction technology and construction methods.

All of our architects have extensive construction experience, and the projects we design benefit directly from our construction efforts. This field experience helps us to understand contingencies such as labor costs, price fluctuations in building materials, and new product developments. Our designs reflect your bottom line.

CAD Capabilities

Design and production efforts at Camille-Alberice Architects are further supported by the utilization of cutting-edge CAD software, facilitating efficient coordination with our consultants and with our clients.

Cost Control

Cost control at Camille-Alberice begins long before a commission is awarded to us.

Several years ago our principals formed a construction company, The RPM Group, which we used to build some of the projects we designed. Our architects are actively involved in these construction efforts and this hands-on experience enables us to better understand construction methods and scheduling, and most importantly, to design within your budget.

Our designs are economically assembled, and specify affordable materials and construction methods familiar to our local work force. Our designs are flexible enough to modify during construction, taking advantage of new materials or adjusting for fluctuating construction costs.

Scheduling

Our approach to keeping jobs on schedule can be summarized in one word, communication.

Communication among design team members, and especially communication between ourselves and our client is essential. We keep you informed and provide you with the options and information you need to make the sequence of decisions that help your project move toward timely completion within your budget.
