Frequently Asked Questions

  • We focus on custom new builds, whole-home remodels, and accessory dwelling units (ADUs)—including detached ADUs (DADUs)—throughout Kirkland, Bellevue, Seattle, and surrounding areas. Our work blends timeless craftsmanship with modern functionality, tailored to each client’s vision and site.

  • An ADU (Accessory Dwelling Unit) is a secondary living space on a residential lot. It can be attached to the main home (like a basement or garage conversion) or detached—known as a DADU. DADUs are standalone structures, often built in backyards, offering full independence and privacy.

  • Most single-family lots in Kirkland allow DADUs, but zoning, lot size, and access requirements vary. We offer site feasibility consultations to help determine what’s possible on your property and guide you through the permitting process.

  • Timelines vary based on design complexity, site conditions, and permitting. On average:

    • Custom homes: 10–16 months

    • ADUs/DADUs: 8–12 months
      We provide detailed project schedules and proactive communication throughout the build.

  • We manage everything from initial concept and permitting to construction and final walkthrough. Our process includes:

    • Site analysis and feasibility

    • Architectural collaboration

    • Budgeting and value engineering

    • Construction management

    • Warranty and post-build support

  • Yes—in collaboration with trusted partners like Fobes Hill Studio, Medici Architects, and MWJ Homes (to name a few). We tailor each design to the site, lifestyle needs, and long-term value.

  • We prioritize premium materials, energy-efficient systems, and durable finishes that reflect your style and stand the test of time. Every detail is selected with care—from millwork and tile to lighting and hardware.

  • It depends on the scope and layout. For ADUs and detached builds, clients often remain in their primary residence. For major remodels, we’ll help assess logistics and offer phased construction options when feasible.

  • Reach out for a consultation. We’ll discuss your goals, review your site, and outline next steps. Whether you're dreaming of a lake-view rooftop deck or a multi-generational layout, we’re here to bring it to life—with precision, transparency, and craftsmanship.
