Share the address and what your family needs. We review the site questions that determine the next step before you commit to full plans.
What we review
The address is
the starting point.
An early review helps identify the questions that need closer investigation. It does not replace a survey, engineering or permit approval.
Utilities and wastewater
Water, electric, sewer or septic records, likely connection routes and the site information needed to assess capacity.
Access and site conditions
Construction access, drainage, environmental constraints, staging and any property-specific investigation needed before design.
The project path
Clarity at every step.
Three or four steps overall. The investigation phase is included only when the property needs it.
Property review
Start with your address and who the home is for. Onsite is recommended; Zoom is available. We review placement, access, utilities and major site questions, then follow up with a written recommendation.
Investigations, if needed
Some properties need a septic inspection, survey, wetland delineation or other site work before the next design decision. We define the required investigation and fee before it is authorized.
Plans and engineering
Develop the floor plan, architectural and structural documents, and the applicable site, septic and permit scope. Preconstruction can be one phase or two, depending on what the property needs.
Construction agreement
Review the defined construction scope, price, responsibilities and terms before entering the build agreement. Construction is coordinated with the required approvals, site work, utilities and inspections.
The homes
Two footprints.
One design family.
Clean gable roofs, warm white siding and wood accents. A focused starting point for a modern New England backyard home.
