Our Proven Design-Build Process

At Abstract Residential Design + Build, we pride ourselves on simplifying the custom home-building experience through our design-build process. Unlike traditional methods that separate design and construction, our approach integrates both into a single, efficient workflow. This ensures clear communication, better cost control, and a home that reflects your vision.

We guide our clients through a three-phase approach that transforms ideas into reality. From initial discovery to the final walkthrough, every step is planned to keep your project on time, within budget, and aligned with your goals

Concept Design

The Concept or Schematic Design phase is a crucial step in defining the look, feel, and functionality of your future home. During this stage, we gather all your ideas, preferences, and inspiration, turning them into detailed plans. With 3D walkthroughs, high-quality visual renderings, and an initial floor plan, we ensure your home's design is not only visually appealing but also practical.

Finalize Design & Pre-Construction

In the Technical Design and Budget phase, we focus on developing detailed construction drawings and comprehensive pre-construction planning. We provide a thorough list outlining all materials and selections, giving you a clear understanding of the elements that will define your home. Along with this, you'll receive a firm price and an estimated timeline, ensuring full transparency. This phase is essential to capturing and planning every detail before construction begins.

The Construction phase is where your vision comes to life. This exciting stage marks the transition from design to reality, as your dream home begins construction.

What Is the Design-Build Process?

The design-build process eliminates the challenges of managing multiple teams. Instead of working with separate architects, contractors, and project managers, you collaborate with a unified team that oversees every aspect of the project. This integration reduces delays and miscommunication while keeping the focus on your goals.

By choosing this process, you ensure a more streamlined and personalized experience. At Abstract Residential Design + Build, we take this a step further by dividing the journey into three manageable phases. Each phase builds on the last, ensuring your custom home meets the highest standards of quality and design.

Our Three-Phase Approach

The three-phase approach makes the design-build process efficient and stress-free. Each phase is designed to move your project forward smoothly, with clarity and precision.

Phase 1: Concept Design

The process begins with bringing your vision to life. In this phase, we collaborate with you to explore design ideas, define your needs, and shape the foundational concept for your custom home. Along the way, we establish preliminary budgets and timelines to ensure clear expectations from the start. These initial discussions are essential for creating a design that reflects your lifestyle and aspirations. To help you visualize the possibilities, we produce detailed, high-quality renderings that bring your concept to life.

Phase 2: Engineering, Construction Documents, and Pre-Construction

The second phase transitions your vision into actionable plans. We finalize architectural drawings, secure permits, and select materials that align with your preferences. During this time, we also develop a detailed construction schedule. Every detail is carefully planned to minimize surprises and ensure a seamless move into the building stage.

Phase 3: Build and Deliver

The final phase is where your dream home takes shape. Construction begins with meticulous attention to detail, ensuring the approved design is brought to life. Throughout this stage, we keep you informed with regular updates and site visits. Before completion, we perform a comprehensive walkthrough to confirm that every element meets your expectations.
