Working With Your Architect
Building Your Custom Home With Your Architect & HEWN
Already working with an architect to design your dream home? HEWN Custom Homes specializes in executing custom architectural plans with precision, insight, and craftsmanship. Whether you’re in the early stages or ready to break ground, we help bring your vision to life—on time, on budget, and true to your intent.
Where We Fit Into Your Architect-Led Design
When you bring a fully custom architectural design, we act as your trusted construction partner. We provide real-world site insights,
identify potential cost-savings, and ensure every part of your plan is buildable—without compromising your aesthetic goals.
You drive the design.
We guide the build.
From structural reviews to cost alignment, we support your architect while protecting your investment.
Pre-Construction Services That Make the Difference
Most clients engage us through a pre-construction agreement —a low-commitment way to evaluate site conditions and receive expert input before construction begins.
Our pre-construction services include:
Site Evaluation & Feasibility
We assess slope, trees, access, drainage, and positioning to ensure your home works with the land—not against it.
Constructability Review
We identify any red flags or complex features that may affect cost or scheduling.
Value Engineering Input
Small design shifts (e.g. simplifying rooflines or extending by 200 sq ft in the right spot) can yield big savings—we help identify them.
Meeting Participation
We’ll attend key design meetings to offer input on local permitting, code requirements, or material choices.
Building From Your Architectural Plans
If your plans are complete, we’re ready to bid and build. HEWN is well-versed in working from detailed architectural drawings and can provide:
Transparent estimates
based on current local costs
Site-specific insight
on how the plan will perform on your lot
A detailed build timeline
tied to real deliverables
Seamless Collaboration With Your Architect

Material choices aligned with budget
Structural considerations that affect timeline
Design tweaks that improve efficiency
