How We're Different
What others consider extra, we consider standard.
We pride ourselves on our award winning process, attention to detail and listening to the client and understanding their needs on every project. Building someone’s dream home goes far beyond blueprints, fixtures and countertops; it’s an ongoing conversation and understanding of our clients’ vision.

& The Environment
We design energy efficient homes to make your life easier, and more enjoyable. We don’t use “green” options because they are trendy, we use them because they work.
We follow the R-2000 standard – a set of technical requirements for energy efficiency, indoor air quality and environmental responsibility. The average new home has an EnerGuide rating of 68. All R-2000 homes must have a rating of at least 80.
The energy efficient products we use in every home include:
- Natural Gas
- Low E/Argon Windows
- Drain Water Heat Recovery Systems
- Compact Fluorescent Light Bulbs
- High Efficiency HRVs
- Low Flow Toilets and Faucets
- Low Flow Faucet Aerators
- Exterior Insulated Sheathing
