The studio and materials library
Full-size door samples, stone offcuts you can put a hot pan on, and every hardware finish in the hand rather than in a photograph. Appointments on Saturdays.
Six communities, one studio
A tight radius, held on purpose
A supervisor who can be on your site inside forty minutes is worth more than a wider map. These are the six communities we work in, and what each one does differently at permit.

Six communities, one drive time we will actually honour

Where the schedules differ
Permit review is not the same in any two of them
We schedule around each jurisdiction's actual review time rather than discovering it in week three.
| Community | Typical housing | Permit review | Drive time |
|---|---|---|---|
| North Scottsdale | Custom builds, 2001 to 2016, 3,500 to 7,000 sq ft | City of Scottsdale plan review, typically 10 to 15 business days | 18 minutes |
| Old Town Scottsdale | Mid-century ranch and mid-rise condominium | City of Scottsdale; condo work also needs HOA and building-management sign-off | 6 minutes |
| Paradise Valley | Estate homes on one-acre-plus lots | Town of Paradise Valley, allow 2 to 3 weeks and a separate mechanical review | 12 minutes |
| Arcadia | 1948 to 1962 ranch, 1,800 to 3,200 sq ft | City of Phoenix; a bearing wall removal needs an engineer's letter with the submittal | 16 minutes |
| Fountain Hills | 1990s to 2010s hillside custom homes | Town of Fountain Hills, allow 2 weeks | 32 minutes |
| Cave Creek | Southwest and territorial custom homes | Town of Cave Creek; septic-served properties need an extra sign-off when plumbing moves | 38 minutes |
