Todays homebuilding is a complex process that requires a lot of choices about technology, techniques, materials and architecture. We like to make these choices with the homeowner after discussing the trade-offs with them. On major decisions we can also use our four person design & building team consisting of my wife and I (representing the older generation) and my partner and his wife (representing the younger generation).
It works amazingly well since we have been doing this for about 12 years. During the design process, regardless of your location, you can download the house plan we are working on to your computer for you to view and annotate. Or we can bring a laptop computer to your location and make changes while you watch.

Custom homes are one of the last handcrafted major projects that you can design and build today. Homes are a unique combination of art, science, natural materials and personal craftsmanship. We only build 3-4 new homes a year. This allows us to work at your building site every day, not just oversee other peoples work.
Grants Pass and Josephine County have a wide selection of lot types. Your first decision is do you want to live in the city on a smaller lot or outside the city on a larger lot. You will probably save yourself a lot of time, money and grief if you find a lot before you spend a lot of time and effort on designing a floor plan that will not work on your lot.
This is supposed to be the fun part of building a new home. Unfortunately, it can turn out to be a frustrating activity unless you have some competent help. There are lots of decisions to make. The two easiest way to attack this activity are looking at floor plan magazines or using balloon diagrams to get started.
Don't own a lot - you don't want to design a house and then go find a lot to fit your floor plan. This may work if you buy a large rural lot but is very risky if you want a city lot which usually is much smaller. You own a lot - now we can design a home that takes advantage of the lots features and still include all the floor plan features you are looking for.
We encourage you to send for the following free tip sheets. They will make it much easier to pick a lot, develop a floor plan and understand the building process. The better prepared you are the smoother and quicker the task of building a home will go. We are always available to answer questions. The tips will be sent to you by email, unless you special request mail or fax and provide your mailing address or fax number in the comments section.
