It’s a big plus working with someone like Stew who brings both design and construction expertise to our projects; the typical disconnect between the architect and the contractor as 2 separate companies, with 2 different sets of priorities, is eliminated. Stew’s inputs insures a smoother, more collaborative and cost-effective construction process for all involved, from customer to tradespeople. And the high quality of the end product is the result.

Stew, I wanted to let you know how absolutely thrilled my parents were with the entryway / dining room floor. The choice of wood, style of tongue-and-groove, the finish, the color .... they were thrilled with the entire job. They especially appreciated ow everything was picked up neat-and-tidy at the end of each work day.

My wife and I hired SM-designbuild to do a whole kitchen remodel in our home. It involved tearing the kitchen down to the studs, moving and reconfiguring a couple of walls and installing a new cabinetry footprint. SM-design build took us from the concept phase, through the architecture planning and drawings and all the way through construction. We are very happy with the finished product that was delivered. All the construction was top notch quality with an attention to detail that you won't normally find. We had a few minor bumps along the way (as to be expected in a large remodel). My wife and I both work from home and lived in the house during the remodel, SM-design build went the extra mile to ensure the noise, dust, and mess were kept to a minimum so that we could continue to work. If you are looking for a full service team for a large project I would recommend SM-designbuild.

SMDesignBuild recently completed a full master bath remodel for us. Stew, his head supervisor, Mark, and all of the subs were wonderful to work with...clean and meticulous. From designing, to picking out materials, to installation SMDesignBuild was first rate. When slight issues came up (as have with every remodel we have done!) Stew and Mark found the solutions quickly and without drama. We are exacting customers and Stew, Mark and the subs patiently and diligently met our needs. Our master bath is now absolutely as beautiful and perfect as we envisioned it thanks to SMDesignBuild.

Questions & Answers

How do I pay for the project, do you phase the work?

We never charge for the entire project up front, and we never force a client to agree to the whole project all at once. We want everyone involved to be comfortable. We typically break our projects into 5 phases: 1. Pre-design/Feasibility 2. Schematic Design (floorplans and elevations) 3. Interior Design and Systems Design 4. Construction Documents and Building Permits 5. Final Contract Pricing and Construction

What is design/build?

Once upon a time, Architects were builders as well. They designed their buildings and then coordinated the construction at the building site, just like today's General Contractors do. This was how buildings were built from ancient Egyptian times up until the World War II era, when Architects retreated to their offices and relinquished their control of the building process. More recently, the trend has begun to reverse itself and "design/build" is re-emerging as a legitimate and often preferable approach.

How much does an accessory dwelling unit (ADU) cost?

SM-DesignBuild | Aug 31, 2020

The cost of an ADU varies depending on the size, design details (cabinets, fixtures, appliances, etc) kitchen layout and materials chosen, and whether your construction is free-standing or an addition to your existing residence. We will guide you through the AdU design process and create a plan that suits your budget.

ADU is short for Accessory Dwelling Unit. ADUs are attached or stand-alone structures that are also called guest homes, accessory apartments, secondary suites or granny flats. An ADU can house additional family members or you can build an ADU to rent out for additional income.
