Single Family Housing Projects

Here at Haven Design|Build, we’re known for crafting single-family homes that combine innovative design with high-quality construction. Our focus is on delivering homes that are tailored to your specific needs, with an emphasis on sustainability and attention to detail. From start to finish, our team works closely with you to ensure that every aspect of your home exceeds your expectations.

Our firm exists to increase the quantity and quality of housing options for under-served communities and we’re passionate about thinking creatively and innovatively to ensure our projects perform efficiently today and last long past ourselves in order to be utilized by future generations.

Absolutely! Customization is a key part of our process. We work with you to ensure every aspect of your home reflects your personal style and preferences. From the layout and architectural details to the interior finishes and landscaping, our team collaborates with you to bring your vision to life. We believe that your home should be a true reflection of who you are, and we are here to guide you through the myriad of choices available. Whether you have a clear idea of what you want or need some inspiration, our designers are here to help you create a home that is uniquely yours.

We offer a range of sustainable features, including energy-efficient windows, solar panels, and eco-friendly materials. Our team will help you choose the best options for your home. We are committed to building homes that are not only beautiful but also kind to the environment. By incorporating sustainable features, we aim to reduce the carbon footprint of your home and provide you with long-term savings on energy costs. Our experts can guide you through the benefits of each feature, helping you make informed decisions that align with your values and lifestyle.

Yes, we take care of all necessary permits and inspections, ensuring a smooth and hassle-free building process. Navigating the legal and regulatory aspects of home building can be daunting, but our experienced team is well-versed in local building codes and regulations. We handle all the paperwork and liaise with local authorities to ensure that everything is in compliance. This allows you to focus on the exciting parts of building your home, knowing that all the behind-the-scenes details are being expertly managed.

Timelines for single-family home projects vary based on the complexity and size of the build. For standard projects, we estimate 10-15 months from design to completion. Larger or more complex projects may take 14-21 months. We’ll provide a tailored timeline during your consultation to reflect your specific project needs.

We understand that ideas can evolve, and we’re here to help incorporate changes if needed. While adjustments during the build might affect the timeline and budget, our team will guide you through the implications and help integrate any changes smoothly into the ongoing work.

The cost depends on various factors, including size, design, and materials. We work with you to establish a budget and ensure the project stays within it. Our team is committed to transparency and will provide you with a detailed cost breakdown at the outset. Our trustworthy budgets are completely transparent, highly detailed, and reliably influence decisions starting in design. We understand that building a home is a significant investment, and we strive to deliver value at every stage of the process. By working closely with you, we ensure that your financial expectations are met, without compromising on the quality and integrity of your home.

In general, we do not offer builder financing. However, we may occasionally provide short-term gap financing of 10-20% of the project if there’s a gap between the total available for financing and the final construction estimate. This offer is project-dependent and must be negotiated separately with Haven’s owners.

We use BuilderTrend, a platform that streamlines project management and client communication. Clients receive custom login access to view schedules, documents, progress photos, and more. We provide onboarding and training to ensure you’re comfortable using this technology throughout your single-family home project.

Quality is our top priority. We use high-quality materials and employ skilled craftsmen to ensure every detail of your home meets our high standards. Our team conducts regular inspections throughout the construction process to maintain our commitment to excellence. We also work with trusted suppliers and subcontractors who share our dedication to quality. By fostering a culture of craftsmanship and attention to detail, we ensure that every home we build is not only aesthetically pleasing but also durable and built to last.

Given that our single-family homes are private residences, tours might not always be possible. However, some clients may offer to show their homes upon request, and we can provide references from past projects. You can also explore more about our work on our projects page on our website..

We do not offer stock or semi-custom designs. We focus on creating fully custom designs that reflect your specific needs, site constraints, and aesthetic preferences. However, bringing inspiration material to the concept design kickoff meeting can help us better understand your vision.

At Haven Design|Build, we carefully consider the architectural style and character of the neighborhoods where we build. Our design team works closely with you to create a home that not only meets your personal preferences but also complements the existing aesthetic of the area. Whether you’re in a historic district or a modern community, we ensure your home blends harmoniously with its surroundings while still standing out with its unique design.

Getting started is easy! Contact us to schedule a consultation, and we’ll guide you through the process of bringing your dream home to life.
