Frequently Asked Questions

We’re proud to serve Wisconsin residents of the Greater Milwaukee area, including Elm Grove, Brookfield, Wauwatosa, Lake Country, and more.

General contractors can be useful as coordinators for projects involving minimal design. On the other hand, Design/Build firms elevate this concept by seamlessly merging design and construction services under one roof, eliminating the need to hire multiple contractors or juggle various sub-services. This holistic approach not only assures superior quality outcomes but also crafts a more streamlined and cohesive construction experience for homeowners, transforming their vision into reality with unparalleled ease and efficiency.

Our team utilizes a thorough 11-step process to take your home from idea to completion. You can typically expect a 6+ month timeline, but each project varies. Your personal Project Manager will communicate with you throughout every step to ensure you are kept up to date with the project timeline.
