We Only Build with Architects: Elevating Your Custom Home Experience

1. Expertise in Design

While we are experts in construction, it is our partners in architecture and interior design who are the true professionals when it comes to the overall design of the project. Collaboration with an architect or designer will always result in a superior end product, ensuring that the investment our clients make is maximized and that potential errors or regrets are kept to a minimum. 

2. Clear Communication and Expectations

Having a design professional involved ensures that the project is clearly defined from the beginning and that potential issues are addressed before they turn into challenges. We pride ourselves on doing as much pre-planning as an entire design team before we break ground, so we can get ahead of potential threats to the project. A professional design team constantly collaborates on plans, deadlines, and selections, making the project flow more efficiently. 

3. Maximizing Your Investment

A common misconception about hiring an architect or designer is that it is a “luxury” service that adds cost to the project. We have seen first-hand that hiring a design team early in the process saves money in the long run. Having a clearly considered, fully realized design prior to construction makes for increased accuracy in cost estimates and a reduction in mid-project surprises which can cause costly additions and delays. 

4. A Personalized Plan

Every project comes with its own set of unique circumstances and there is no “one size fits all” solution to a remodel or custom home. When making such a significant investment, it is imperative that the end result satisfies all of the needs and wants of the client. The right architect or designer will take the time to understand your vision and find innovative and creative solutions that not only meet but exceed the expectations for the project. 

5. Energy and Sustainability

As certified Passive House builders, we understand the impact and importance of building with a focus on efficiency and sustainability. Navigating the array of options can be daunting and the process of building sustainably must begin at the onset of a project. Many of our design partners are highly skilled in sustainable design and can help guide clients through the process, tailoring the project to the client’s specific criteria and maximizing the overall efficiency of the home.
