A complete project budget may also need allowances for land, design, engineering, permits, demolition, unusual site work, landscaping and contingency. Confirm every inclusion in your written proposal.
Resolve the site questions before committing to a design
Access, utilities, ground conditions, the existing structure and the approval path can change a new home's scope. We start by reviewing what is known and identifying the specialist input still needed. Your architect and engineers develop the property-specific plans; we coordinate the work required to build them.
What shapes the construction budget?
Square footage is only a starting point. Site work, structural complexity, glazing, mechanical systems and finish selections all affect the construction budget. A useful proposal distinguishes defined work, allowances and items that still need investigation.
What to share for a first conversation
Share the property location, survey or existing plans, desired size and rooms, design references and target budget. If you have already assembled a design team, include the current drawing stage.

Can you work with my architect?
Yes. We coordinate construction with the architect, engineers and other professionals on your project. Design responsibilities and construction scope are defined before work begins.
Can you give a price from a photograph?
A photograph helps establish the design direction. A construction proposal also needs site information, drawings, specifications and a review of the work involved.
