Our Design-Build Process

Building a custom home in Edina requires foresight, coordination, and attention to detail, especially in established neighborhoods. Our design-build process ensures your project moves forward with clarity, guidance, and realistic financial planning.

Stage 1: Design Consultation

We start with a consultation to understand your goals, vision in a new home, lifestyle, timeline, and overall investment range. This ensures the project begins with clear priorities before design work and site planning move forward.

Stage 2: Site & Municipality Analysis

Next, we evaluate your lot and review city or township requirements that may affect design and construction. We look at practical factors like grading, drainage, setbacks, utilities, and approvals to reduce surprises later.

Stage 3: Architecture & Design Collaboration

This is where your home takes shape through floor plan and design development tailored to how you live. We refine layout, product finishes, orientation, and long-term function so the design fits your family, not just a trend.

Stage 4: Bid Process & Proposal

Once plans are developed, we build a detailed proposal that outlines the scope, allowances, and a realistic project investment. You gain clarity on what’s included and where costs can shift before any commitments are finalized.

Stage 5: Contract

With scope and pricing aligned, we formalize the agreement and confirm timeline expectations. This stage locks in clarity, so you move forward knowing what to expect and when.

Stage 6: Construction

Our team coordinates trades, manages scheduling, and maintains quality control throughout the build. You receive consistent communication and visibility as your home progresses through major milestones.

Stage 7: Post Close & Warranty

After completion and prior to closing, we conduct a detailed walkthrough and ensure all final items are addressed. We also provide warranty support so you feel protected and supported beyond move-in day.

In a competitive market like Edina, disciplined planning makes the difference between a smooth build and unnecessary setbacks.
