Discovery Call

Our journey begins with a discovery call to understand your vision and aspirations. This initial conversation allows us to gauge your preferences and answer any preliminary questions you may have. It’s a simple, no-obligation way to see if we’re the perfect fit for your custom home project.

Following our discovery session, we’ll schedule a meeting to further explore your vision. Understanding your wants and needs will help us lay a solid foundation for developing a concept that truly align with your vision.

After gaining a deep understanding of your wants and needs, we will tailor a concept specifically to fit your vision. From there, we’ll develop a comprehensive set of construction drawings that will bring your vision to life.

This is the first step towards turning your vision into reality. This agreement outlines the scope of the design and sets the stage for our creative collaboration. Our design and construction team works closely with you during this phase to finalize all the selection details, from plumbing fixtures to paint finishes. We guide you through each choice, ensuring that every element reflects your style and preferences and creates the overall cohesive home you envisioned. Having all selections complete before construction prevents any surprise cost from popping up during the build which leads to a more accurate budget
