About the Project Intake
Let’s start with your vision
Planning a custom home, renovation, addition, or historic restoration starts with understanding your vision. This short form helps us learn about your goals, property, budget expectations, and project requirements so we can offer meaningful guidance and the right next steps.
The more you share, the better we can prepare for our initial consultation.

Common questions
How long does the form take?
Most people finish in about five minutes. It’s split into four short steps, so you can move at your own pace.
Do I need plans or drawings to submit?
No. If you have plans, drawings, photos, or inspiration images, uploading them helps us prepare. If you’re still at the idea stage, tell us that and we’ll help you plan from there.
What if I don’t know my budget yet?
That’s okay. Choose “Not sure yet” or the option that fits best. We’ll talk through costs and options during your consultation.
What types of projects do you take on?
Custom homes, renovations and remodels, additions, custom cabinetry and millwork, repairs, and historic restoration, for both residential and commercial properties.
What happens after I submit?
We review your details, then you’ll be able to book a consultation at a time that works for you. From there we discuss your goals, timeline, and budget and outline the next steps.
