Our Design-Build Process: Seamless from Start to Finish
We simplify the complex process of new home construction in Olympia, WA by keeping everything under one roof — design, engineering, permitting, and construction — with clear communication and accountability throughout.
1. Discovery Consultation
Start your journey with a complimentary consultation. We’ll discuss your goals, review your property or lot, and explore inspiration boards to capture your vision.
2. Design & Planning
Using 3D visualizations and mood boards, our design team brings your dream home to life on screen before we ever break ground.
We’ll assess topography, drainage, sunlight, and orientation to optimize placement, comfort, and energy efficiency.
Detailed quotes are finalized before construction begins — no surprises, no guesswork.
3. Construction & Communication
During construction, you’re always in the loop with Buildertrend software, providing real-time access to:
- Schedules and milestones
- Budgets and invoices
- Daily progress photos

Our transparent process ensures your new home build stays on schedule and within budget.
4. Final Walkthrough
From excavation to final walkthrough, every phase is checked, refined, and perfected.
We’re not finished until you’re completely satisfied — and your new home is everything you imagined.
