Think Outside the Box

We’ll review your list of priorities, goals and dreams for your home. We will also perform research on your existing land and required building and zoning codes. From the beginning, we develop potential concepts for your home that show different price points within your budget. At the end of this stage we’ll pick one concept to move into detail design.

Details, Details, Details

This is where the design gets fine-tuned and the details and finishes start to emerge! The design drawings grow into 3-dimensional representations of the scope of work. Interior renderings show the finished vision coming to life. The result of this step is a clear vision of the project in its entirety, with a straightforward scope of work and budget.

Trust is Built

As construction begins, we’ll work efficiently, meeting with you on a regular basis and completing your project on-time and on-budget to give you peace of mind.

Custom Home Building FAQ

What unique features and amenities can you include in my new home?

You might be planning to build a new home because you’re conscious about the environment and energy efficiency. Our new home construction team can help reduce your family’s carbon footprint and impact on the environment. We can also create designs featuring more a modern architectural style not common in the Ann Arbor area.

Sometimes our home design clients are in unique situations that require truly custom solutions and innovative design, planning, and execution. You may have found a building you love that was not initially meant to be a home– for example, right now we’re making a home from a barn-turned-wedding venue.

A few of the other unique features we’ve included in recent projects include:

• Pet-centric rooms

• Mudrooms

• Fully custom cabinetry

• Smart home automation systems

What is Design Build?

In the past, when planning and executing a custom home construction project, you were the project manager. It was up to you to find and hire contractors, manage their schedules, and track the timelines and budgets. The whole process was frustrating, time-intensive, and often produced unsatisfying results.

There is a better way.

Our design build process is a one-stop solution for homeowners looking to remodel, build additions, or construct a new home from the ground up. Our experienced team will manage your entire project from beginning to end. Design build offers many advantages including:

• Better cost control - Our designers and construction teams work together to avoid unnecessary and costly mistakes that are all too common in a traditional home design and construction project.

• Less waiting - By managing both design and construction, we create a faster and seamless transition from the design phase of your project into construction.

• Improved communication - When designers and builders work together, the results are incredible. Problems are anticipated and quickly solved. We’ll update you on our progress and answer your questions.

• Complete accountability - There’s no finger pointing or questions about who did what. We stand behind our work and are proud of the results.

Do You Have a Favorite Design Style or Specialty?

Our designers are passionate about design and about helping bring our clients’ visions to life. While we don’t specialize in one particular style, we’re comfortable building any type of home in Ann Arbor. Our designers take pride in staying up to date on the latest trends as well as studying the principles of good design. It’s this one-of-a-kind approach that allows our team to design and build amazing homes!
