Design-Build
Architecture, interiors, and construction — one team.
From the first sketch to the final punch list, a single Fortitude team carries your custom home, addition, or whole-home renovation.
Overview
A premium standard, end to end.
Design-build means fewer handoffs, tighter budgets, and a clearer sense of progress at every stage. The architect, designer, project manager, and builder all sit on the same team — accountable to the same outcome — so your project never falls through a crack between disciplines.
What's Included
Considered details. Documented systems.
01
Architectural Design
In-house and partnered architects for new custom homes, additions, and whole-home reimaginings.
02
Interior Selections
A dedicated designer guides every finish — cabinetry, tile, plumbing, lighting — inside your budget.
03
Pre-Construction
Scope, schedule, and investment summary delivered in plain language before a shovel hits the ground.
04
Construction Management
A dedicated project manager owns the schedule, the trades, and your daily communication.
05
Single Contract
One agreement, one number, one team — no general-contractor-versus-architect finger pointing.
06
Warranty & Walkthrough
60- and 365-day walkthroughs, plus a 25-year structural workmanship warranty.
Our Process
What happens, when, and who is responsible.
You always know the next step. A dedicated project manager keeps communication clear from kickoff to final walkthrough.
01
Discovery
We meet at your home or our studio to understand how you live, what you want to change, and what your budget supports.
02
Design
Schematic design, then design development — drawings, elevations, and 3D models that show exactly what you'll be building.
03
Pre-Construction
Final pricing, schedule, and contract — locked before construction. No surprise change orders mid-build.
04
Construction
A single project manager on site, weekly homeowner walkthroughs, and a clean job site every day.
