Step 1 of 4: The project

What are we building?

The closest fit is fine. You can change anything later.

A new custom home From the ground up, on land you own or land you're circling. A renovation or addition A house worth the trouble, made into the house you need. Not sure yet A lot, an old house or just an idea. We'll sort it out together.

Pick the closest. "Not sure yet" counts.

Site or neighborhood

A neighborhood is enough. "Still looking" is a fine answer.

Timeline (optional)

Which budget band feels right?

Construction only, honestly banded. It shapes the first meeting, not a quote. The cost talk explains every number.

New custom home

Under $1.5M Honestly below where our new homes start. We'll say so, and name builders we trust. $1.5M to $2.5M A disciplined custom home, roughly 3,000 to 4,200 sq ft on a simple site. $2.5M to $4M Where most of our new homes land: harder sites, custom millwork, serious glass. $4M+ Signature homes: architect partnerships, waterfront structure, no repeated details.

Renovation & addition

Under $400K Below our renovation minimum. A good remodeler will serve you better, and we can name three. $400K to $900K A whole-floor transformation, or a large kitchen and living-room rework. $900K to $1.5M Whole-house renovations: systems, envelope and interiors rebuilt together. $1.5M+ Additions and heritage rebuilds that add up to a new house inside an old shell.

Prefer to discuss in person Completely fine. We'll bring the ranges to the table.

Pick a band, or "prefer to discuss in person."

Who should we reply to?

A real person replies within two business days.

Your name

Please tell us your name.

That email doesn't look complete. Use the name@example.com format.

Best time for a first meeting

The project, in a few lines

A line or two is plenty, even "we have a lot and a dream."

Demo note: this is a design demonstration. Pressing send stores nothing and contacts no one.

Demo: nothing was sent

Thank you, friend. Here's what would happen next.

This is a design demonstration, so no request left this page and nothing was stored. On a real Hartwell site, this is the timeline you'd get:

Within 2 days A reply from a real person with three meeting times: mornings, evenings or Saturday.
The meeting Ninety minutes at the Coach House: your brief, real per-square-foot numbers and honest talk about fit.
A week after A written summary of what we heard. If the fit isn't right, the names of builders we trust.

See the work meanwhile

Ninety minutes, no fee, real numbers.

Consultation request

Thank you, friend. Here's what would happen next.
