The Challenge: Thousands of Decisions, One Dream Home


Most people underestimate what building a custom luxury home truly involves. You'll face:

  • Hundreds to thousands of individual decisions across dozens of categories.

  • Critical timing deadlines where missing one selection can delay your entire project.

  • Complex coordination between architect, builder, contractors, and multiple vendors.

  • Technical plan reviews requiring construction knowledge most homeowners don't have.

  • Budget management to avoid costly change orders and delays.

  • Overwhelming choices without clear guidance on what works best.

WHAT WE OFFER

OUR NEW HOME DESIGN SERVICE: TWO CORE FOCUS AREAS

Missing a deadline or making the wrong selection doesn't just affect one room, it can derail schedules, inflate costs, and compromise your entire vision. Our Blueprint service eliminates this stress, providing expert guidance and systematic management so you can actually enjoy building your dream home while your builder stays on schedule. Our new home design consulting focuses on two main areas that are critical to successful custom home builds.

  • We collaborate directly with your builder and architect to review electrical plans, built-in specifications, and cabinet drawings. Our team evaluates space planning and flow, ensuring every detail functions with your end goals in mind, from daily living patterns to entertaining needs.

    This proactive review process catches potential issues before construction begins, optimizing layouts and built-in placements to ensure your home functions beautifully from day one. We coordinate closely with your builder to support their construction schedule while protecting your design vision.

  • We guide you through material choices and placement for both your exterior elevations and all interior finishes. From roofing shingles to the smallest hardware detail, we manage the overwhelming number of decisions your custom luxury home requires—systematically, efficiently, and on time.

NEW HOME MATERIAL SELECTION SERVICES

Our Blueprint service covers every selection your custom luxury home requires, organized to keep your project moving forward on schedule.

  • We guide you through roofing material options, colors, and styles that complement your home's architecture while considering durability and climate performance.

  • From traditional lap siding to modern board and batten, we help you select siding materials and colors that create lasting curb appeal and coordinate with your overall exterior design.

  • We coordinate brick choices, mortar colors, and placement patterns that add texture and character to your home's exterior elevations.

  • Whether full stone facades or accent placements, we guide natural stone and manufactured stone selections that enhance your architectural style.

  • We review window specifications, placement, and style selections with your builder, ensuring proper proportions, energy efficiency, and design cohesion.

  • We help you select statement-making entry doors and coordinate garage doors that complement your home's design while considering security, insulation, and style.

  • We create cohesive exterior color palettes that coordinate with brick, stone, siding, and trim ensuring your home's curb appeal is stunning from every angle.

  • From entry sconces to landscape lighting, we specify fixtures that enhance your home's architecture, provide security, and create welcoming ambiance.

EXTERIOR MATERIAL SELECTIONS & PLACEMENT

  • We guide appliance selections across your kitchen, butler's pantry, laundry, and any additional spaces, coordinating finishes, features, and specifications with your cabinetry and overall design.

  • We specify lighting throughout your entire home, from statement chandeliers and pendant lights to recessed lighting and under-cabinet illumination, ensuring proper illumination and ambiance in every space.

  • We coordinate all plumbing fixtures including kitchen faucets, bathroom faucets, shower systems, tub fillers, and accessories, ensuring cohesive finish selections and proper functionality.

  • We work with your builder's cabinet provider to review kitchen, bathroom, laundry, mudroom, and built-in cabinet selections, optimizing layouts, storage solutions, and finish coordination.

  • From kitchen islands to bathroom vanities, we guide countertop material selections (quartz, granite, marble, quartzite) and coordinate backsplash designs that complete your spaces beautifully.

  • We select and coordinate flooring materials for your entire home including hardwood species and stains, luxury vinyl plank, tile selections, and carpet choices, ensuring seamless transitions and cohesive flow.

  • We design tile layouts and coordinate selections for shower surrounds, bathroom floors, accent walls, and niches, creating spa-like spaces with proper waterproofing considerations.
