How We Work: Design + Build

Design Build Process

“Design-build is a method of project delivery in which one entity - the design-build team - works under a single contract with the project owner to provide design and construction services.”

This is the definition from The Design-Build Institute of America.


In our case, design + build is a bit more personal. From your first meeting with Steve Berg, through feasibility, budgeting, design, final pricing, and construction you have Berg’s full attention as well as his team’s. Berg has a reputation for creative solutions respecting the architectural integrity of your home as he works with you to discover the best solutions for your family. He brings over forty years of experience in architectural design and building, along with his professional training in fine art, to the drawing table. With Berg, your project won’t be turned over to a draftsman for design then a project manager for construction. Steve Berg personally designs every project ensuring that your needs and concerns are translated into the drawings and specifications. He also manages each construction project to ensure that what was designed is carried out without compromise.


Our Process

We design the architectural plans for our clients’ custom building projects. Our design work is not just a service to our clients but our passion. This passion for perfecting the house also works hand in hand with our building expertise to ensure that it can be built, and built on budget.

To this end…

We approach each project with a three-part process

1

Feasibility Studies

A detailed analysis of the concepts and costs. We will test the ideas before committing your money and heart to the planning. 

2

Planning

This process includes design development
as well as specification, schedules and
final pricing. 

3

Implementation

With planning complete we will transform your dreams into your home.


We Work Out Our Design Solutions Rigorously By Hand
