Custom Home Designer for Columbus & Central Ohio

Larry Folk, a registered architect, will design your home with you, and will be available throughout the building process as we construct your home. We believe there is a great advantage and efficiency in this method. Working in a closely coordinated effort, the design and construction groups can share their resources of knowledge and expertise. As the plans are developed, Larry will discuss construction details with the actual trades people who will perform the work. These discussions help to create details which add great design aspects but are practical and cost efficient to construct.

The Design/Build process also has great advantages in terms of budgeting purposes. Many potential homeowners have gone through a great deal of time and expense to have home plans fully developed for bidding purposes, only to find out that the cost to build or renovate their home is well over their budget. With 35 years of experience in the home building industry we keep up to date on current construction costs and practices. This enables us to create budget estimates based on preliminary plans to ensure we are within a customer’s budget. If we find the preliminary plans exceed the budget, adjustments can be made to the plans before additional time and effort is expended.

We will work with you during every stage of your project, from analyzing prospective home-sites to providing you with most accurate and complete construction drawings to facilitate the best possible building experience.
