Some people locate their dream home by scouring listings and attending as many open houses as they can until the right one comes along.

Here at Riverside Design & Build, LLC we love working with our clients and being open and honest about how we can help. Here are a few items we want you to know about building your dream home.
The first thing we build is a relationship.

Third, Understand our design-build process.
Site Acquisition Analysis / Existing Structure Analysis
Riverside Design and Build, LLC begins the Design Build process by meeting with you to discuss and explore your ideas. Marc, as a builder, and Michele, as architect consultant, listen to what you have in mind, look at images you might have to share, look with you at our past work that you might admire, and begin to thoroughly assess your needs. Based on our conversation, we can then develop a program, review the budget, and if needed, help locate a property. Marc’s extensive real estate background offers expert guidance in selecting a site, analyzing existing structures, and financing options.
Architectural Design
Our team begins with developing a preliminary schematic design that incorporates your needs, desires, and budget into an architectural solution. A Schematic Design gives an overall design approach with floor plans and elevations that respond to your vision and budget. We incorporate your program needs, explore sustainable design options, study value engineering, site design, and engineering, and analyze government zoning and code requirements. Upon approval of the Schematic Design, our team proceeds toward developing Construction Documents in detail and suitable for filing with governmental authorities.
