The Integrated Approach

The Gap Between Design and Reality
Is Where Projects Go Wrong.

Most projects have a designer and a contractor who barely communicate. Specifications get misread. Materials get substituted without understanding the design intent. The contractor sees a plan — not the reasoning behind it.

We close that gap — because we do both. Your design intent gets carried through to the field, not handed off and hoped for. Conflicts get caught in design, not mid-construction. That's fewer change orders, cleaner execution, and a finished project that reflects the original vision.

  • Design and construction under one roof — no handoff gap
  • Materials specified as part of the design process
  • Design intent preserved through every phase of the build
  • Value engineering without sacrificing what matters
  • Single point of accountability, start to finish
  • Fewer change orders — because conflicts get caught in design

Whole House & ADU

Complex Projects.
Handled.

Whole-house remodels and ADU additions come with layers of complexity that many contractors aren't equipped to navigate. Permits, setbacks, existing utility conflicts, structural conditions — every site has surprises.

We don't turn every surprise into a change order. We do a thorough site assessment before we start so we know what we're walking into. If there's a path through, we find it. If there isn't, we tell you before you spend the money finding out the hard way.

  • Site feasibility evaluation before you commit to anything
  • Full permit navigation: setbacks, zoning, utility connections
  • Structural engineering coordination
  • ADU design for rental income, family use, or resale value
  • Whole-house phased or full-scope remodels
  • Existing condition assessment — no surprises mid-build

"One team from concept to completion
isn't a convenience — it's how you
protect the design."

— David Cody
