04 Services

Three ways to build, one standard of craft.

Design-build custom homes, renovations that begin by opening the walls, and partnerships with architects you've already chosen. Inside all three: interiors and millwork from our own shop, and the money explained before you commit to anything.

Our services

  1. 01 Service

    Custom homes, design-build

    One team, one contract and one accountable number, from the first sketch to the keys.

    For families building an architecturally serious home in the Alder Bay region, usually 3,000 to 7,000 square feet.

    • Architecture and interior architecture by our in-house studio
    • Site, zoning and utilities feasibility before design begins
    • Estimate checkpoints at 30, 60 and 90% of the drawings

  2. 02 Service

    Renovations & additions

    Old houses get a vote. We open the walls before we price the work, then keep every promise the discovery lets us make.

    For owners of houses worth the trouble (heritage character, good bones, great streets), starting at about $400K of construction.

    • A fixed-fee discovery phase that opens walls before pricing
    • Heritage-review drawings and board submissions when needed
    • Structural, systems and envelope scoping in writing

  3. 03 Service

    Architect partnerships

    Bring your architect. We'll be the builder who prices the drawings honestly, then builds them as drawn.

    For clients and architecture studios who want a builder in the room early: preconstruction during design, craft during construction.

    • Preconstruction pricing while your architect designs
    • Line-item estimate books at 30, 60 and 90% of the drawings
    • Constructability reviews that protect the design intent

  4. 04 Inside every build

    Interiors & millwork

    Selections made calmly and on time, and the cabinetry, stairs and paneling built by our own carpenters.

    Part of every Hartwell custom home and renovation. We don't offer it on its own: the shop's calendar belongs to our own projects.

    • A dated selections calendar matched to the build schedule
    • Showroom and supplier visits with our selections lead
    • Interior architecture: lighting, built-ins, stairs and trim

Not sure which one you need?

That's what the fit check is for: four questions, about two minutes, and an honest answer. Or ask for a first meeting and we'll sort it out at the table.

Begin

Begin with ninety honest minutes.

The first meeting costs nothing and commits you to nothing: your brief, real per-square-foot numbers said out loud, and a frank answer about fit in both directions. We take on 8 homes a year, so the conversation is the whole first step.
