Process

The Red House Process

Our promise is to provide each client with a positive and rewarding experience during the planning and building of their home. Our process was created to give homeowners a clear understanding of costs, scheduling, and the roles different team members play in achieving your dream.

Our Commitment

Design-Only Process

The Feasibility Process helps define what is possible for your home and investment. Through site analysis, measured documentation, and early design concepts, we align vision, scope, and budget before moving forward with clarity and confidence.

Design-Build Process

Our Design Build Process brings design, budgeting, and construction planning together under one team. By resolving key decisions before construction begins, we provide clarity, cost certainty, and a refined, well-organized experience from start to finish.

  • Field measurements of existing structures and site conditions

Schematic Design (3–5 Weeks)

Our interior design services at Red House elevate everyday spaces with character and functionality.
