Too often, custom home projects begin with design decisions before budgets, construction requirements and site constraints are fully understood. The plans come back beautiful and over budget, and the redesign costs time and money.

Start with the whole picture

A realistic budget considers more than construction. It accounts for design and engineering, permitting, selections, site work and contingency. Establishing those numbers early gives the design team a target to design to.

Let construction inform design

In a design-build process, budgeting and design happen together. As the design develops, costs are reviewed alongside it, so trade-offs are made deliberately rather than discovered at bid time.

The goal is simple: a home designed around the way you live, at a cost you planned for.
