We typically start the home building process with conceptual design, or sometimes referred to as schematic design. In this phase, we will meet with you at our office in Bondville, VT or through an online meeting to discuss your needs and goals with the project. If you already have a set of building plans, we can tailor them to your building site or modify them as necessary.

If you are unsure where to start with the design of your new home our team of talented designers and subcontractors can help. Our designers will work with you to establish what is called a program or a list of spaces and features you would like to have in your new home.

We will then walk your building site with you to gather information and share ideas about the overall design of the site.

Some things we typically address when visiting a site are; the orientation of the building and the sun, any views you would like to capture or avoid, the location of utilities and services, and any setbacks, easements, or environmental concerns.

Our intent is to make sure we completely understand your goals for the project before setting forth a finalized design, schedule, or budget.

Our designers will work with you through an iterative process to develop conceptual floor plans and elevations customized to your building site. These plans will be used to establish a scope and budget for the project. We strive to make this process as enjoyable and interactive as possible while ensuring our clients receive a home that not only meets their needs but suits their lifestyle and aesthetic goals.

Once the design phase is complete we will supply a detailed construction budget and project timeline.
