What We Do
Full-Spectrum Residential Design

We handle every type of residential project — from custom homes and additions to ADUs, pool houses, garage conversions, and interior reconfigurations. If it involves your home, we can help you design it right.


We also help homeowners diagnose comfort and performance issues in existing homes. If certain rooms run hotter than others, your energy bills don't make sense, or an older home just doesn't feel right — we'll assess what's going on and bring in the right vendors to address it, whether that means updated windows, improved insulation, or mechanical system adjustments.

Services include:

• Custom home design (new construction)

• Home additions and room expansions

• Remodels — kitchen, bath, whole-home

• Interior reconfigurations

• Accessory dwelling units (ADUs)

• Pool houses and cabanas

• Garage conversions

• Owner-builder plan sets

• Fix and flip design and permit packages

• Home performance assessments and vendor coordination

Who We Work With

Homeowners & Families

You have a vision for your home. We help you build it intelligently — with honest input on what things actually cost, creative solutions that get you the look you want without overbuilding, and engineering coordination that keeps surprises out of the field.

Owner-Builders

You're doing the work yourself and need a professional plan set that will pass permitting and hold up through construction. We design to your specs, coordinate with your engineer in parallel, and make sure your drawings are clear, complete, and buildable.

Fix & Flip Investors

Speed and cost certainty matter. We design practical, permit-ready packages that maximize your return without overdesigning. We know what reviewers want to see and how to move projects through the process efficiently.

How It Works

1. Initial Consultation

We start with a conversation — in person, by phone, or video. You tell us what you're working with, what you want to accomplish, and what your budget looks like. We give you an honest assessment of what's realistic and what it'll take to get there.

2. Site Visit & Assessment

For most projects, we visit the site or existing home. We take measurements, document existing conditions, and identify any constraints or issues that need to be addressed in the design. Travel within 100 miles of Hutto is included in the project scope. Beyond that, a travel consult fee applies.

3. Design & Engineering

We develop your design while coordinating with structural and MEP engineers simultaneously — not sequentially. This keeps the drawings cohesive, reduces field surprises, and gets you to permit faster.

4. Revisions & Client Review

You review preliminary designs and we refine based on your feedback. We'd rather get it right on paper than find out something doesn't work during construction.

5. Permit-Ready Deliverables

You receive a complete, permit-ready drawing set — everything the jurisdiction needs to review and approve your project.

6. Permitting Support

Most jurisdictions come back with comments. We handle the response — coordinating with reviewers, addressing corrections, and keeping the process moving until you have your permit in hand.

7. Construction Administration

We stay involved through construction — answering contractor questions, reviewing submittals, and making site visits when needed. The goal is to make sure what gets built matches what was designed.

Pricing

Honest Pricing for Every Project Type

Every residential project is different, which is why we don't apply a single formula across the board.

New construction on standard footprints is typically priced per square foot. Remodels and renovation projects are priced as a percentage of construction cost — because behind every wall is an unknown, and a flat rate can't account for what the project actually requires. Complex or highly custom homes follow the same percentage model.

We're transparent about fees from the first conversation. No surprises, no scope creep without discussion.
