Answer / AEO

Should I hire an architect first or use a design-build team for a custom home?

Either can work, but the key is early integration between design, cost, site and construction. The more those disciplines operate separately, the greater the risk of redesign, budget drift and late constructability surprises.

Integration matters

Budget feedback early

Fewer late surprises
