Questions to ask yourself if you’re considering NEW Construction

  • Custom building is a big time commitment. Do I have the time and finances to consider this?
  • Do I have a long-term perspective for this level of investment?
  • Do I have the patience and flexibility needed to communicate with a broad spectrum of crafts and trades during the custom building process?
  • Have I considered the importance of using a professional interior designer as part of my team?
  • Do I have the right team in place that can relieve me of having to deal with the unexpected occurrences normal to new construction?
  • Have I researched the credentials of those I plan to work with?
  • Do I have the land or location worthy of this investment?
  • Have I established a realistic construction budget for this project?

New structures are wonderful because you are able to control the project, getting exactly what you want from the start. This is an area where design and creativity can thrive and where our services can benefit you the most.

Being part of the design process from the beginning allows us to interpret the client’s personality onto a blank slate – visually, emotionally, psychologically, and functionally. The process can take anywhere from 6 months to 2 or more years, depending on the size and scope of the project.

Whether we are designing the structure from the ground up, or working with your architect as a team, every aspect of this process is a reflection of your personality and individual needs.
