Our Design Build Process

Benefits of Design Build

The Design Build process helps ensure that the team designing your project and the team building your project have the same goals with costs well-defined ahead of time.

The Design-Build process keeps the entire project under one roof with all teams working with the same motivations, vision, and as a cohesive building group for the successful completion of the project.

The Design Build process is fundamental in keeping a project on time and on budget.

Preliminary Design Build Project Interview:

The JW Building Group Services Design Build process begins with an in-depth design discussion to develop your ideas and goals including:

  1. Your “Home / Addition Lifestyle Plans” - Timing, Expectations, and Goals
  2. Financial Feasibility - “Design, Funding, & Construction”
  3. Review Site Plan, Survey, Topography, Site Setbacks and/or Building Envelope
  4. Evaluate Prelim Home Location, Views, Exposures, and Surroundings
  5. Est. Lot Development Costs such as Well/Septic or Water & Sewer Tap Fees

We will work with you to develop your ideas into blueprints, architectural designs, and other visual mock-ups. During the preliminary design phase, we will discuss your wants and needs, take necessary measurements, confirm property lines and setbacks, verify utilities, and check out overall site conditions. Upon completion of an in-depth design discussion of your proposed home building venture, the JW Building Group Services team will commence with Phase One: the design, costing, and specification development for your proposed residence.

Phase One: Design Build Service Agreement:

The Phase One Design Build Service Agreement includes the following scope of work:

  1. Obtain Design Team Proposals for Architecture, Engineering and/or Civil Design Services and Process Design Management Services Agreement Contract(s)

  3. Obtain Required HOA Approvals, Permits, and Utility Confirmations
  4. Develop Prelim. & Final Project Costs – Fixed and Variable Costs
  5. Review and Finalize all Project Specifications and Costs

Before breaking ground on your approved design, the JW Building Group Services team will work with you to finalize details such as colors, materials, finishes, fixtures, and more. Most Importantly, we will determine, coordinate, and manage project timelines for financing and the primary purchasing schedule deadlines to ensure on-time project completion. Upon completion of Phase One, we will commence with Phase Two: the Design Build Contracting, financing, and construction of the proposed residence.

01

Custom homes

Ground-up builds designed around your lot and your life.

We design and build quality custom homes from the ground up — homes shaped around your lot, your budget, and the way you actually live.

As a Design Build firm, we handle architecture coordination, engineering, permitting, and construction under one roof, so decisions happen quickly and nothing falls through the cracks.

02

Whole-house renovations

Complete transformations of the home you already own.

A whole-house renovation lets you keep the location you love and lose the layout you don't. We rework floor plans, update systems, and rebuild interiors with modern materials and finishes.

Whole-house renovations are among the most complex projects in residential construction — sequencing, structural work, and living arrangements all have to be managed carefully. That complexity is exactly where our experience shows.

03

Large & complex additions

Room to grow, blended seamlessly into your home.

From second-story additions to full wing expansions, we build large and dynamic additions that look and feel like they were always part of the house.

We manage the structural engineering, foundation work, and finish detailing needed to tie new construction into existing homes — matching rooflines, materials, and craftsmanship.

Preconstruction services

Budgets, plans, and feasibility before you commit.

The best construction decisions happen before construction starts. Our preconstruction services cover site evaluation, design development, estimating, and constructability review.

With Janet's background in real estate appraisal and financial analysis, we help you understand what a project will be worth — not just what it will cost — before you break ground.
