♦ Design & Build ♦ Our Existing Plans ♦ Your Plans
♦ Plans vary widely on their cost to construct depending on the cost efficiencies (known as value engineering) designed into the plans by the architect, structural engineer and builder. The builder is the one that relates with the actual costs to construct and individual cost items versus a cost per square foot approach typically used by architects.
♦ Our Plans~ Our firm has many plans we have designed high value and efficiency into. Many of which have been built recently. Often a client will modify one of our plans to suite their specific needs.
♦ Your Plans~ Our firm can build your plans on your lot or one of our lots.
Design & Build
♦ True custom design~ Never built previously. Your ideas and inspiration are captured by the builder, the engineer, the chosen architect and the interior designer.

Our Firm Manages the Design & Construction Process
v Independent Firms: Architect, Structural Engineer, Civil Engineer, Subcontractors, Suppliers and interior designers all work together under the management of the General Contractor who is responsible to the Owner.
v United Professionals: Professionals with backgrounds and experiences that fit the project to achieve the best results. This translates into cost efficiency and higher value.
~The Advantages of Design & Build~
♦ Early Cost Estimates, Quicker Design Revisions, High Involvement of People Driving the Cost Equation Early On, Quicker Start Schedule, Fewer On-Site Delays, Faster Construction
♦ Lower Costs ~ Professionals working together, not separately always find less expensive ways to build the project; Changes made to a project prior to construction are always less expensive than during the construction period.
