Phase 3 begins after the final plans have been completed.  These are the final steps required prior to groundbreaking and the beginning of construction.

Design is a collaborative process where we present you with choices and you respond with honest feedback.

Site Preparation & Tree Removal

Preserving the natural beauty of the home site is of paramount importance to us. That’s why we remove trees and brush on an “as needed” basis.
