Scott Avery is the founder and managing partner of Avery Design Group LLC (ADG), previously known as Avery New Design. ADG consistently executes quality residential projects including plan design, drafting, submittal, and construction administration for multiple remodeling companies and individual home owners in the Phoenix Metropolitan area.
Scott started drafting and working in construction during high school. He attended ASU’s School of Architecture as a third generation Sun Devil.
Scott’s early career was as a drafter for a Design/Build Contractor in Phoenix where he also functioned as an apprentice journeyman, learning all construction trades from seasoned veterans in the field while developing valuable relationships with subcontractors as well as city planners and inspectors.
Scott then worked for a large national architecture firm, where he progressed from an entry level Drafter to being a Project Manager. He managed the design, development, and construction of several residential communities and amenities for multiple clients concurrently in a wide variety of styles and scales (1,200sf – 9,000sf). He was often asked by senior executives within the company to independently execute plans for the smaller projects that were too minor to require an architect, including additions and remodeling of their own homes. He later became the in-house remodeling specialist.
Scott later transitioned to working with another architectural firm that specializes in government buildings. His primary role there was undertaking the evaluation of existing facilities including recreation centers, museums, prisons, office buildings, and stadiums to recommend repairs and future remodeling to improve functionality and comply with current codes.
This led to Scott being recruited by an established general contractor undertaking customer acquisition, plan design, estimating, and construction management for a wide assortment of projects including total rebuilds due to major insurance claims (fire/water damage). Phoenix area market conditions inspired Scott to consolidate his attention to the design and execution of custom homes and major residential remodels with Avery Design Group LLC.
