We take residential projects from initial concept through final inspection. Our team handles the architectural plans, city permits, and actual build out so you don't have to coordinate multiple subcontractors.
Average Timelines for Local Projects:
Kitchen & Main Level Updates: Expect 2 to 3 months of planning and design, followed by 8 to 12 weeks of construction.
Basement Conversions: Expect 1 to 2 months of design and permitting, followed by 6 to 10 weeks of build time.
Home Additions & Whole-Home Renovations: Expect 3 to 5 months for engineering, plans, and permits, followed by 4 to 7 months of heavy construction.
It depends entirely on which parts of the home we are working on:
Smaller projects (basements or tucked-away baths): Staying home is usually easy.
Major overhauls (kitchens or full main levels): Living through daily noise, dust, and temporary water shut-offs gets tough fast.
We install heavy plastic dust walls, floor armor, and temporary kitchen setups to protect your living area. If a project requires cutting off main plumbing lines for weeks, we let you know up front so you can arrange alternative housing.
When you hire an architect on their own, they often design blueprints that cost twice your target budget once builders actually bid on them. With design-build, one team manages your plans, budget, permits, and construction under a single contract. We calculate real costs as we draw, keeping your ideas grounded in your actual budget.
You get to handle the fun, creative choices while we take care of all the logistics behind them:
Your role: Select the cabinet styles, tile, paint, and fixtures you love from a curated collection we build around your taste and budget.
Our role: We double-check measurements, verify lead times, order supplies, track shipments, and inspect every delivery for damage before installation day.
Yes, 100%. Permitting rules vary across Portland, Washington County, and Clackamas County, but you never have to step foot in a city permit office or decipher local codes. We draft the technical plans, file the paperwork, pay the fees, and manage every on-site inspector straight through to final sign-off.
Opening up walls in older Pacific Northwest homes can reveal old dry rot, unpermitted wiring, or hidden plumbing leaks. Here is how we handle it:
Immediate Stop: We pause work and show you the exact problem in person or through clear photos.
Itemized Quote: We give you a simple, fixed estimate to repair the issue correctly.
Your Call: We only proceed once you approve the fix. You will never see surprise charges on your final bill.
