Initial Consultation & Vision Discovery

We start by understanding your unique lifestyle, preferences, and goals. During this phase, we discuss your vision for a custom home or remodel and explore design ideas, budgets, and timelines. Our experts listen carefully to ensure your dream is the foundation of the project.
 

Key elements:

  • Project goals & scope

  • Budget & schedule overview

  • Site evaluation & feasibility

Conceptual Design
& Space Planning

Next, our design-build contractors and architects develop conceptual designs reflecting your style—from modern farmhouse to mountain retreat or luxury renovation. We create preliminary floor plans and space layouts to optimize flow, functionality, and aesthetics.
 

Deliverables:

  • Initial sketches & floor plans

  • Space planning consultation

  • Material and style mood boards
