Builder Programs (Speculative Homes and Sub-Division Product)
Value Engineered, Structurally Sound, Cost Effective and Builder Friendly Designs
We have designed several entire sub-divisions for many large companies operating in vast markets all over the United States. We have designed successful sub-divisions with 1000-2000 square foot starter homes, 1500-3000 square foot move up and retirement homes and exclusive 3500-6500 square foot elaborate primary residences. As a speculative builder you realize the value in the word 'successful'. Anyone can be in the house 'building' business but to be a speculative builder means taking risk and it is much tougher to be in the house 'selling' business.
Whether you are creating one solid "master plan" to market to your prospective buyers, a portfolio of homes or an entire product line for a sub-division, we can assist you in developing plans that SALE! No matter what your price point, budget and amenities we have the experience. Let us work for you. Additionally we can support you from any location. Laptop computers, email and cellular phones allow us to work anywhere in the United States. We can even meet your client in your office. With our support you can become a "Design/Build" builder and not have the expense of hiring a designer on your staff.

Remodels / Additions / Repairs
In the current economy Remodels and Additions are increasing. We have an enormous amount of personal experience with remodels and additions. Furthermore we have real world experience of construction, structure and the unknowns of an existing home to be able to effectively look at a project and determine quickly the needs of the job and the capabilities of the structure. We also understand the process of getting permits and when an outside engineer needs to be employed. We have aligned ourselves with several engineers and architects that feel very comfortable working with us on any project we accept. We can look at a project in person or direct you to take photographs and assist you in detailing the structural requirements of the job as well as determining the capability of the existing structure. Together we will be able to determine the best approach to add or modify existing structure to achieve your desired results.
