Thoughtfully Designed
Meet Your Project Team
Step 1: Design Development
Your dedicated team will work with you to develop layouts and features that suit your lifestyle, your wants, and your needs. From locating the home on your site to helping you pick out your kitchen cabinets, we guide you through the whole of the design process.
By finalizing the design, programmatic needs of the home, site placement, finish selections, and any added structures, we can also help you get a long way down the road to the final all-in costs for the project.
This front-end decision making lends itself to price predictability, and, accordingly, alleviates the budget-anxiety often felt with custom design/build projects that can meander through a drawn-out decision process, change orders, and unpredicted delays.

Sustainably Minded
Choose Your Production Method
Depending on the specific variables related to your project, you may choose to engage in either off-site or on-site construction.
We are large proponents of off-site construction practices for the following reasons:
Your new home will be built in a climate-controlled environment, not a torrential downpour.
Your new home will be carefully measured, precision framed, and systematically trimmed and detailed.
Materials will be purchased and used to maximum efficiency, and their cost will be known at the outset of the project. Building the bulk of the home off-site also means that the construction time on site will be shortened, thus reducing impact on your neighbors and the need for extensive long-term staging on your property.
However, we also know that there are instances in which off-site construction is not a viable option. We believe that each client should have the ability to choose the construction approach that makes the most sense for their project, and we are well-versed in collaborating with builders to support on-site construction.
