Site and Climate Analysis

Before design begins, we study solar access, prevailing winds, soil conditions, and local hazards to shape form, orientation, and envelope choices; this climate‑responsive foundation improves comfort, reduces loads, and ensures durable, code‑compliant solutions tailored to your property.

Solar Access and Shading

We map seasonal sun paths, neighboring obstructions, and tree canopies to optimize orientation, window placement, overhangs, and PV layout. Early decisions reduce overheating, enhance daylighting, and maximize solar yield, minimizing energy demand while creating bright, comfortable interiors with strong visual connection to outdoors.

Water, Drainage, and Landscaping

Site grading, permeable surfaces, and thoughtful planting protect the foundation, manage stormwater, and reduce irrigation needs. Rainwater harvesting and native species create resilient outdoor spaces that support biodiversity, lower maintenance, and complement the home’s performance goals with elegant, climate‑appropriate landscape design.

Codes, Fire, and Weather Resilience

We plan for local codes, wildfire exposure, wind, and snow loads using fire‑resistant assemblies, ember‑resistant vents, and robust roof details. Durable cladding, backup power integration, and water management strategies safeguard your home’s longevity and comfort through extreme weather and evolving regulations.

Timeline and Logistics

A disciplined schedule, early procurement, and coordinated trade planning keep your project on track; weekly updates, milestone reviews, and clear site protocols maintain quality and predictability from groundbreaking to move‑in day.

Predictable Critical Path

We build a realistic critical path schedule informed by permit durations, lead times, and inspection windows. Pull planning with trades prevents bottlenecks, while milestone reviews verify quality and performance, reducing delays and ensuring the project finishes on time without compromising craftsmanship or energy targets.

Clean, Neighbor‑Friendly Site

We implement strict cleanliness, noise, and access guidelines to minimize neighborhood disruption. Clear delivery windows, recycling protocols, and dust control create a safe, professional jobsite that respects the community while supporting efficient, high‑quality construction activities throughout the build.

Quality Control and Commissioning

Checklists, photo documentation, and third‑party tests validate envelope integrity, mechanical performance, and electrical safety. Final commissioning tunes systems to modeled targets, ensuring the finished home performs as designed and is ready for comfortable, efficient living from day one.
