Six phases

A clear path through a complex undertaking.

Each phase resolves the right questions before the next begins, while remaining flexible enough to support an original work of architecture.

01

Listen

We begin with how you want to live, the character of the site, your architectural ambitions, investment parameters, and timing.

02

Establish

We assess feasibility, define responsibilities, assemble the right consultants, and create the initial project roadmap.

03

Price & Plan

Progressive estimates, constructability reviews, logistics planning, and long-lead procurement turn the design into an executable plan.

04

Prepare

We coordinate permitting, finalize trade scopes, confirm critical selections, and establish field controls before mobilization.

05

Build

A dedicated project lead manages execution through visible updates, site meetings, quality reviews, samples, and mockups.

06

Welcome & Care

We complete orientation, records, final detailing, and warranty planning. Then we remain available as the home settles into use.

Visible stewardship

You should never have to wonder where the project stands.

A beautiful result is only part of a successful build. The experience should also be organized, legible, and worthy of your trust.

  • A living project roadmap
  • Decision and procurement schedules
  • Regular budget reporting
  • Written meeting recaps
  • Field progress photography
  • Clear change documentation
  • Organized closeout records

Common questions

Before we begin.

When should we engage a builder?

Ideally during site evaluation or early design. Early construction input creates the greatest opportunity to protect design intent, investment, and schedule.

Do you work with independent architects and designers?

Yes. We collaborate with established design teams and can also introduce professionals suited to the project's location, scale, and character.

How long does a custom home take?

Complex residences often require 18–30 months from early planning through completion. Site conditions, permitting, design development, and finish complexity all influence timing.

Can you help us evaluate land?

Yes. We coordinate appropriate consultants and provide a builder's perspective on access, logistics, site preparation, utilities, and likely construction implications.

How are costs communicated?

Through progressive estimates, allowance tracking, bid comparisons, scheduled reporting, and written authorization before scope changes proceed.

Where do you build?

We consider select residences in Miami, Coral Gables, Naples, Winter Park, Windermere, Orlando, and neighboring communities.

Begin

Start at the beginning.

The earlier we understand the site and the ambition, the more value we can bring to every decision that follows.
