01

Discovery Meeting

It starts with how you'll use the space.

We meet in person at your earliest convenience to walk the site and learn what you want the space to be. We'll also look at the finishes and style of your home so we can match them on your new build. You leave with a clear scope, a realistic budget range, and a defined next step.

  • Site walk and project discussion
  • Honest budget range up front
  • One point of contact from day one

You'll know every design fee, and what each one delivers, before you pay a dollar.

02

Design Agreement

See it, refine it, and know the final price before you commit.

Design is its own agreement, separate from the build. It happens in three stages, and each stage has its own fee. At every stage you see more detail and a tighter price, and you decide whether to continue.

  1. A

    Concept

    A 3D model of your building.

  2. B

    Design Development

    Construction drawings, finish selections, and a narrowed price range.

  3. C

    Pricing & Planning

    Permits submitted, licensed trades bid, and you receive a line-item cost breakdown, a project schedule, and a firm, final price.

If you build with us, half of your design fees are credited toward construction.

03

Build

Built like a custom home, because that's the standard we hold.

When the design is complete, you sign a separate build contract at your firm, final price. That price doesn't change once you sign. We build every structure to the quality of a high-end custom home: the same framing, envelope, and finish standards, and the same attention to detail. Every trade is vetted, licensed, and insured, and works from a written scope. You get a weekly written update, and if the schedule is going to move, you hear about it the same day. If you want to change something along the way, nothing moves forward until you approve it in writing.

  • Firm, final price locked at signing
  • Custom-home construction standards
  • Finishes matched to your home
  • Weekly written updates
  • Same-day notice of any schedule change

Our build standard

Every Stance structure is held to the same standard as a high-end home.

  • Permitted through the city and built to code
  • Engineered foundations set to the frost depth for your location
  • 2x6 exterior walls for far better insulation

Closeout & Beyond

We finish the way we started.

We walk the finished project with you and make sure it's up to your expectations. Then we hand over an organized closeout package with warranties, manuals, as-builts, and maintenance notes. We check in after 30 days, and we stay your contact for the 12-month workmanship warranty.

  • Joint final walkthrough
  • Complete closeout package
  • 30-day check-in
  • 12-month workmanship warranty, one number to call
