Design + Build
High Performance - Quality Craftsmanship Professional Design - Transparent Pricing
Concept Through Completion
we take care of every detail
-
It all begins with an idea. One of our favorite parts of the design+build process is listening to our clients’ hopes, dreams, needs and desires and turning those intangible ideas into a physical reality. We don’t get hung up on trends but lean into each clients personal lifestyle and preferences and create spaces that reflect and encourage their unique stories.
-
A building should be built in such a way to minimize headaches for the homeowner for years and decades to come. By designing the houses we build, we are able to bake in best building science, home health and functionality from the beginning.
Professional project management ensures that our homes are build efficiently, minimizing downtime and maximizing value.
-
No house is complete without the furnishings and finishes that make it a home. By integrating interior design into the initial design process, we are able to optimize spaces, layouts and furniture. Colors, metals, fixtures, rugs and furniture are all coordinated from the very beginning creating a cohesive design that’s just right.

Scope + Budget
Budget and Scope are two sides of a scale that needs to remain balanced throughout the project. Knowing what is most important to you and how much you want to spend will ensure we set the project up for success from the beginning with no financial surprises or unmet expectations down the road.

Design
The design process is much more than just making pretty spaces. It is where we implement all of the problem solving solutions we identified in the scoping process as well as document all of the building science details. Our goal for each project is to achieve a beautiful, functional, healthy space that will stand the test of time.

Bid
One of the advantages of working with a Design+Build firm is that we have a pretty good handle on expected costs as we are navigating the design process. However, before any construction begins we conduct a thorough bid process where we have each trade and supplier bid to the construction documents and final selections. This eliminates unwanted suprises during construction and expedites the building process by having each trade under contract and locked into the schedule.

Build
The construction process is the culmination of months worth of problem seeking, problem solving, design, preparation and planning. As a Design + Build firm, we have a firm understanding of not only the architectural intent but also any tricky details or orders of operations. This enables us to move with precision and speed when construction begins - without costly delays to iron out details or to reschedule busy trades.
