About BrightBuilt

At this time, we can design and provide process support for a BrightBuilt Home within the New England and Mid-Atlantic regions.

We don’t necessarily expect you to have a detailed budget going into your project, but it sure helps to have an idea of what you’re hoping to spend. Once we know that, we can help figure out if your wants and desires fit the size of your pocketbook.

We start your design and make adjustments tailored to your lifestyle, and keep them within the parameters of your bottom line. The hopeful truth is that we’re the ones who can weave together the program and design in clever ways that will allow your budget to be met. We’ve done it in the past, and we’re confident we’ll be able to do it for you.

Every project faces tough choices at some point in the process, and the key is to know what these choices will be before wading in too deeply. We’re committed to seeing your project come to life, so that it doesn’t end up being beautiful only on paper.

Your dedicated team will work with you to develop layouts and features that suit your lifestyle, your wants, and your needs. From locating the home on your site to helping you pick out your kitchen cabinets, we guide you through the whole of the design process.

By finalizing the design, programmatic needs of the home, site placement, finish selections, and any added structures, we can also help you get a long way down the road to the final all-in costs for the project. This front-end decision making lends itself to price predictability, and, accordingly, alleviates the budget-anxiety often felt with custom design/build projects that can meander through a drawn-out decision process, change orders, and unpredicted delays.

The world is your oyster!
Virtually all finishes and details can be incorporated into your BrightBuilt Home. While all finishes must comply with our low-VOC requirements, and fixtures must be energy-star rated, the options available for realizing exactly the look and feel of your new home are veritably limitless.

With a great many choices available today that are low-VOC, and sustainably made and sourced, we can help you craft a home that is both just what you want, and good for you, too!

Every design can incorporate a garage. The homeowner may opt to attach the garage, or leave it free-standing. It is also possible to plan for the later addition of a garage, if the homeowner thinks that might be of interest down the road. Our builder partners may choose to site-build the garage, or have it built as a modular component, depending upon its overall footprint and entry requirements.

Additional pricing would reflect these considerations, and can be included in the initial estimates for the focused pricing of the project.
