The Promise — In Writing

Three guarantees.
All in the contract.

Most architects will tell you they care about your project. We put specific, enforceable commitments in the contract so you don't have to take our word for it.

01

Timeline Guarantee

"Delivered on the agreed date — or the final phase is free."

Your construction schedule is written into the contract with milestone dates. If we miss the agreed completion date by more than two weeks for reasons within our control, the final payment phase is waived. No negotiation, no asterisks.

02

Budget Guarantee

"Final cost within 5% of the agreed contract price."

We price projects with full material takeoffs before breaking ground. If unforeseen site conditions push costs beyond 5% of the contract total, we absorb the overage on labor. You approve every change order before work begins — no surprise invoices at close.

03

Walkthrough Guarantee

"You sign off on every room before we consider it done."

Final walkthrough is a formal process, not a handshake. You walk every room with a punch list. Anything that doesn't meet the standard we agreed on in the design phase gets corrected before the final invoice is issued — typically within ten business days.

Guarantee language is included in every standard contract. Ask to see it before you sign anything.

Client Stories

Their words.
Their houses.

We were nervous about the timeline — we'd heard too many stories. They hit the date we agreed on in March and we were in by August. The kitchen faces exactly where they said the morning light would be. We eat breakfast there every day.

Three generations in this house now. My mother-in-law has her own entrance and her own light. My kids have the barn loft. The farmstead bones were already there — they just figured out how to make it hold fifty more years.

We left Brooklyn with a spreadsheet and a lot of anxiety. They walked the land before they drew a single line. The house is oriented so the meadow is the first thing you see from the bed. We had no idea to ask for that.

Where It Comes From

Named mills.
Named quarries.

We don't specify "timber frame" — we specify Goranson Farm white oak, dried to 19% MC, cut to our tenon dimensions. Every material has a source, and you can visit it.

White Oak & Douglas Fir

Goranson Farm Timber

Dresden, ME

FSC-certified, cut and dried on-site. We've used them on eleven projects.

Bluestone & Fieldstone

Raven Hill Quarry

Goshen, VT

Same stone that's been building Vermont foundations since 1820. The color matches the hillside.

Reclaimed Hemlock & Barn Board

Northeast Reclaimed

Brattleboro, VT

Sourced from barns within 150 miles. Every board has a provenance sheet.

Handmade Brick & Tile

Berkshire Brick

Pittsfield, MA

Pressed from local clay. The variation in color is the point — no two courses look the same.
