The library · twelve plans

Twelve good plans.
Not a hundred mediocre ones.

Each plan has been drawn, built at least three times, walked, and refined. We will customize within reason — moving a wall, shifting a window, swapping the kitchen layout — at no additional design fee.

The standard

Six things
we don't itemize.

Other builders quote you a base, then tack on. We start from a house that already has these. If you want to spec up, we do that. We will not spec you down.

One PM · One number

Meet your
project manager.

Will builds four houses a year — never more, never less. He answers your call, walks the site Tuesdays and Fridays, and writes you a Saturday email with the week's progress and the next week's schedule. He is the only number you need.

He has worked with the same six framers, the same two electricians, and one and only one HVAC crew for the last seven years. That is by design.

A sample bid · The Hampton

The whole
number, up front.

We publish a sample bid for every plan. Site conditions move it. Spec selections move it. But we will not start the build until the number is on paper and the change-order process is on paper.
