Saving Time & Money:
With conventional custom building, a builder works with a plan designed by an independent architect. Having provided little of no input into the design the builder’s involvement is limited to building the home by interpreting from the drawings what the homeowner and architect want to achieve. Sometimes architects are not up-to-date on residential building costs so a re-design of the original plan is often necessary. This slows the process down and creates an expense that could have been avoided.
Expertise:
The Design / Build process starts by meeting you at your home site and at our office to discuss the design and building options – noting issues related to topography and zoning. We’re particularly noted for building amazing homes on challenging lakefront lots that integrate successfully with the land and neighboring properties.
