    *beag+haus does not control local pricing or schedule; we work to design within your budget based on current market research in

    your area before document completion to our best ability.

    construction phase

    construction administration

  • Construction contract between homeowner and contractor. beag+haus is not your builder, but we are part of your team until construction is completed.

  • beag+haus will offer construction administration throughout the build to ensure the house is built as designed

    • Construction observation services are billed at a separate hourly fee for on-site project coordination.

We handle all of the upfront design of the project from inception to construction documentation. We then assist the client (if needed) in partnering with a local builder for the project's construction phase. The client and builder set the final pricing, contracts, and project build schedule.
