Concept Design & Budget Planning
Our design team creates preliminary drawings, 3D renderings, and layout options. We work side by side with our builders to align design ideas with cost and feasibility, ensuring your vision is realistic and grounded.
Concept Design & Budget Planning
Design Development & Permitting
We refine the design, select finishes, and plan systems (insulation, HVAC, lighting). During this phase, we pull permits, coordinatewith engineers, and fine-tune the budget while staying aligned with your goals.

Construction & Performance Integration
With plans locked in, our build team begins construction. Because we’re performance-focused, we integrate building-science techniques like proper insulation, air sealing, and moisture management as part of the build—not as an afterthought.

Frequently asked questions

A major remodel comes with important decisions, and just as many questions. We’ve answered the most common ones here, so you can feel fully informed and confident as you move forward.

With design-build, you have one unified team handling both design and construction. This reduces miscommunication, accelerates timelines, and provides clearer accountability.

Not necessarily. While the integrated model may seem premium, its cost-control from the start often reduces surprises and change orders.

Because design and construction overlap, we can often begin building phases earlier than in the traditional model, which helps streamline your timeline.

No — you remain involved at every stage. We work collaboratively with you on design, material choices, and system selections, ensuring your vision drives the process.

Since our designers and builders are on the same team, we maintain consistent quality control from design through finish. We also apply building-science best practices to enhance durability and performance.

Absolutely. This model is ideal for integrating performance upgrades like insulation, air sealing, and HVAC improvements because design and construction are coordinated from the start.
