The Design/Build Process
Michael Brusko Design/Build has the experience and the resources to make the design/build process both positive and fulfilling. We will help you find answers to all of your questions and guide you step-by-step through the process of building your custom home.
We will listen to and evaluate your needs and desires, design to those specifications and preferences, take care of all the permits and surveys, and acquire any architectural approvals necessary from your municipality.
When you are ready to build, our project manager and building supervisors will be there to guide you through the daily home-building process. Our planned construction process will virtually assure that your home is constructed the way you want it, using the most cost effective building methods in this sensitive coastal environment while emphasizing quality and structural integrity, on schedule and at a cost you can understand and control.
