Custom Home Design

Both. We design new custom homes, and we handle additions and remodeling projects, with many remodeling projects already permit-ready. The difference is where the work starts. A new home starts from the site and the program, while an addition or remodel starts from documenting what already exists before anything new is drawn.

You bring your own builder. We do not require you to work with a specific one, and the drawing set is prepared so any qualified builder can price and build from it. If you have not chosen a builder yet, a complete permit-ready set is what lets you send the same documents to several of them and compare bids on equal terms.

Four stages carry a project from the first meeting to a permit-ready set: coordinating existing conditions, developing the layout, producing construction documents, and carrying the set through plan review until the permit is issued. Each stage closes with your approval before the next one opens, and engineering and site plan work run in parallel with the drawing set.

Yes, though each phase has a design freeze point: after the final floor plan is approved, after the final exterior elevations are approved, and after the final set is issued. Those freezes protect accuracy and keep the project on schedule. Changes requested after a freeze may involve a revision fee and a rescheduled timeline, which we always review with you before proceeding.

Each stage needs specific things from you: a signed proposal and a completed intake form to start, timely feedback and approval on each layout, and any missing documents, such as your survey or site information, as they come up. If something is missing, we hold that stage until we receive it, so responding promptly is what keeps your project moving.
