Client Review – New Builds
“We worked with Annie at Renovation Design Group to design and build our family home. This wasn’t a remodel- it was a complete tear down and ground up build. After 3 years in our house I’m still so grateful that we worked with RDG.
The first time we met with Annie she very thoroughly considered our existing home and *gently* told us it was a tear down, which it absolutely was. 😂 We trusted her judgement from that point on and I’m so happy we did. RDG does an extraordinary job of designing spaces that are beautiful, practical, and fun. The process was extremely collaborative- our needs were always considered and we deeply appreciated having RDG’s expertise and experience along the way. The house that we’ve ended up with is truly something special.
The planning, demolition, and construction of this house spanned the Covid shut down and two separate pregnancies and births in our family. The fact that we had such a smooth and positive experience with Annie amid all that chaos is a HUGE testament to her professionalism. Thank you for everything, RDG!”-Katherine C.

FAQs – New Builds
Deciding to do a major renovation or start new is a tough choice and one we have walked through with clients many times. A lot of times the decision can be made based on the current structural condition of the house, your goals, and what zoning restrictions are in your area.
No. We are a residential architecture firm that primarily does renovations, but we have years of experience designing custom new build homes as well.
It depends. For some homeowners, building a new home might cost less, but for others it might cost more. This is because each home, lot, and owner presents their own unique set of opportunities.
Most likely. The size of your new home will depend on your criteria, budget, and local zoning requirements. In some cases, the existing home might be “grandfathered” into smaller setbacks, and if you decide to build new, this might restrict the buildable area on your lot.
It depends. If your goal for the new house is to blend with the existing neighborhood, our team will design a new home that fits with the surrounding homes. This can be done by using similar materials, styles, colors, and landscaping. On the other hand, if your goal is to build a different style of home compared to neighboring homes, our team can also help you get the design you have always dreamed of. Contact us today to learn more about our process.
Not necessarily. Building a new house often takes a similar amount of time to an extensive renovation. Tasks like pouring a new foundation will add to the timeline but can sometimes be made up later on in the process.
