The AE Standards Manifesto

We publish what we will do — and what we won't.

Most Arizona outdoor-living builders adjust their standards job-to-job. We don't. This page is the AE constitution: the rules our crews build to, the shortcuts we refuse to take, and the spec sheets any homeowner can use as a checklist — including against us.

What AE will do

Promises in writing, on every build.

01
Publish real price ranges on every service page.
02
Pull permits in AE's name and submit HOA packets for you.
03
Build to AE Standards — written, numbered, and posted publicly.
04
Assign one named project manager with one phone number, in the contract.
05
Document every change order in writing before the work begins.
06
Honor AZ ROC-aligned payment schedules tied to completed phases.
07
Service what we build — aftercare stays in-house, not subcontracted.
08
Tell you when your idea is wrong for Arizona, and why.

What AE won't do

The shortcuts we refuse — even if asked.

01
Quote spray-on pool deck coatings.
02
Install single-speed pool pumps or bargain turf with silica infill.
03
Run unpermitted gas or electrical.
04
Accept verbal change orders.
05
Use front-loaded payment schedules that transfer risk to the homeowner.
06
Play the 'call for pricing' game.
07
Hand aftercare to a third-party installer.
08
Match a competitor's price by lowering our spec.

Per-category spec sheets

The receipts behind every promise.

Every category we build has its own numbered spec sheet — the materials, base depths, brands, and code thresholds we won't go below. Print one, bring it to any builder you're evaluating, and ask them to match it line by line.
