Drawn by someone who builds

design Services

We design custom homes, additions, and ADUs in and around Wilmington. Concept through permit-ready construction documents, drawn by a licensed builder.

Most projects move through four stages: an initial conversation about the site and how you want to live in it, schematic plans and 3D views, design development where materials and structure get resolved, and a final permit set for construction.

You can hire us for the drawings alone, or for the drawings and the build.

Design Process

01 Concept
We start with the site and the way you live, not a floor plan. Where the house sits, how it faces the light, how big it needs to be.

02 Schematic Design
Plans and elevations take shape. Square footage becomes real, which means cost becomes real, while it is still cheap to change.

03 Design Development
Structure, systems, schedules, dimensions. This is where decisions start carrying cost, and where a builder at the table saves money.

04 Permit Documents
The set that gets submitted and the set the crew builds from. Drawn to what New Hanover County reviewers actually look for.
