  • Heat pump dryer
  • Induction range

Read this first

Two stories is more building. Garage below, studio above, a stair between them, and a fire-rated assembly over the garage. It’s a bigger job than the single-story plans, and every piece of that shows up in the scope before you sign.

Pricing

Fixed-price contract covers the build and finishes. Utility connections, impact fees, and site-specific foundation work are scoped in writing before you sign.

Changes

Under the pre-approved path, the City’s drawings are the City’s drawings. We can’t move a wall. If you want changes, custom is the honest route, and we’ll tell you which one actually fits your lot and your budget.
