What to plan for
Planning a custom homes project
Land and site work
Ledge, wetlands buffers, septic and drainage shape both the design and the budget. These get investigated before drawings go far.
Energy code
Massachusetts energy code — and stretch code in many towns — affects framing, glazing and mechanical decisions from the start.
Design-build sequencing
Bringing a builder in during design keeps the drawings and the budget in the same conversation.

Frequently asked
What does design-build mean?
It means design and construction are coordinated under one process, so budget, feasibility and drawings evolve together instead of colliding at bid time.
