Let’s chat about your dream home! You may already have a style in mind or have no idea about the possibilities. We’ll ask lots of questions, learn about your design preferences, discuss your needs and your budget, and consider the way you or your family inhabits your living space. A no-obligation site visit may be helpful to further explore your rural lifestyle and capture your vision.

Your dream home takes life on paper! With thoughtful and intelligent design, you feel at ease with your choices. Steve guides you throughout the entire process. Included in this flat fee contract is everything you need to proceed to a full build:

You’ve made your decision and you’re ready to start! We work with you to establish a flexible payment plan that works for both of us. If you need help with your building permit, septic field installation, or road construction, we can do that too!

Construction begins! Steve or Tristan is on site and continually monitoring performance and progress.

• Assistance with all your selections
