We offer comprehensive design services for custom homes, including traditional, high-performance, and phius certified passive house construction.
Integrated Process
Our design process begins with a client consultation to define goals and expectations. We develop multiple hand sketch design options and morph the best strategies into a digital 3D model mirroring your unique residence to be built. ACE Design Build’s streamlined process manages code, environmental, performance, and aesthetic considerations including setbacks, scenic features, access to natural light, and curb appeal.
Expertise
Work directly with our in-house phius Passive House Certified architect to ensure energy efficiency strategies align with your lifestyle and level of performance goals. Clients may bring their own plans, designers, or engineers; better understanding of your design intentions leads to more quality in construction.
Seamless Communication
Our Integrated Project Delivery approach to Design/Build gets all invested parties to the table early in the process to establish performance standards, schedule, and budget requirements. Working directly with the architect and builder minimizes risks and streamlines communication for a more efficient and stress-free building experience.
