New Homes
When designing a new home, we pay careful need to the site and context, as well as our
clients' program and lifestyle. We believe that a home must both nurture and express
the soul of it's inhabitants, so we listen to your desires, and help guide your
decision-making as the look and feel of your home comes into focus.

Additions and Remodels
As a designers, we are adept in offering you a vision of how your existing house can be
transformed into a home that better suits your lifestyle.  We bring building knowledge to
inform the design effort right from the very start of the project. Our goal is to minimize
surprises and stress, and to help you enjoy this infamously challenging process.

Contractor Selection
Selecting the right General Contractor is an important part of a successful building
project. If you do not have a contractor in mind we will suggest contractors whom we
believe to be a good fit for you and your project. We have had the opportunity to work
with many of the finest residential contractors in the area and have developed
professional relationships with them built on mutual respect and the shared goal of
creating the best possible home for you. We will also help you interview the contractors
you wish to meet. We will then carefully review the cost estimates they submit for
accuracy and completeness, allowing you to compare the contractors on an equal
basis. This process will help you select the contractor whose skills and work
processes best fit the requirements of your specific project.

Bidding Negotiation
Bidding negotiation begins during the contractor selection process and often continues
throughout the construction phase. YVM Custom Homes will help you select the
subcontractor who can best meet your project goals in terms of quality, budget and
schedule.

Construction Administration
When your new home design is complete, the construction documents are drawn and
the contractor is selected, the exciting process of building your dream home begins.
Throughout the construction process we will meet weekly with you and the General
Contractor to discuss the progress of the house as well as finalize decisions on
finishes and details. These weekly site meetings are a chance for us to review the work
of the previous week for conformance to the design intent and discuss upcoming work.
