Design-Build

What Is Design-Build?

With design-build, one company manages your home from the first sketch to move-in day. Your plans, your contract and your build all come from the same team.

What's Included

Everything Under
One Roof

Instead of hiring an architect, a designer and a builder separately and keeping them in sync yourself, you sign one contract with us. We bring in the architect and designer and manage the whole project.

Plans

An Architect and Designer on Your Team

We work with an architect and a designer we know well. Already have plans? We can build from yours instead.

01

Designed Around Your Life

The first conversation is about who will live in the home and why you're building, so the plans start from the right place.

02

One Contract

Design and construction share a single agreement, with every term written in and reviewed by each party before signing.

03

Plans That Fit the Budget

Because design and building happen under one roof, cost stays part of the conversation while the plans take shape, not after.

04

One Place for Answers

When a question comes up during the build, you know exactly who to ask, with no back-and-forth between separate firms.

How We Work

How Design-Build Works

Start Your Project

Share What You Need

Tell us what you're looking for and what's behind the project, and we'll talk it through.

Design the Plans

Our architect and designer turn that conversation into plans. If you already have plans, we start from yours.

Agree on the Contract

Once the plans are settled, every term goes into the contract for each party to review, adjust and sign.

Line Up the Funding

If you're financing, the contract and plans go to your lender for appraisal and funding approval.

Build It

We break ground and manage construction, with your finish selections made on a set schedule.

Finish and Hand Over the Keys

Once the certificate of occupancy is in hand, the keys are yours.
