About our design / build work

With design-build, one team handles your project from the first sketch to the final walk-through. You get one contract, one point of contact, and a designer and builder who work together from day one — which means fewer surprises, tighter budgets, and a faster path to done.

Our design-build service puts design and construction under one roof. You get a single contract, a streamlined timeline, and a team that owns the project from first sketch to final walk-through.

What's included

  • Concept design and space planning
  • Budget guidance during design, not after
  • Material and finish selections
  • Engineering and permitting coordination
  • Full construction

How it works

  1. Initial consultation about goals and budget
  2. Design phase with cost feedback along the way
  3. Final plans and fixed scope
  4. Permitting
  5. Construction with the same team that designed it
  6. Final walk-through

Common questions

How is design-build different from hiring an architect and a contractor separately?

With design-build, design and construction are under one roof, so cost and buildability are considered from the start and there's no finger-pointing between separate firms.

Is design-build only for big projects?

No. It works for kitchen and bath remodels as well as additions and ADUs.

Can I bring my own architect?

Absolutely. We're happy to build from plans by your architect too.
