SCHEDULE A CONSULTATION
Building a custom home should be an exciting, collaborative experience from the first conversation to the day you walk through your front door. That is why Elk Ridge Builders now offers in-house design services alongside our construction work.
For years, Teton Valley homeowners have trusted us to build their homes. Now we can help design them too. Planning, design, budgeting, material selections and construction all come together under one team, so your vision stays connected from the first sketch to the final walkthrough.
Design and Build, Under One Roof
Pricing Early, Not After the Fact
Design choices, materials and costs are coordinated before construction begins, so your plans match your budget from the start.
One Point of Contact
No relaying messages between a designer and a builder. Questions get answered by the people doing the work.
Fewer Surprises
Change orders are one of the biggest budget killers in custom home building. Making decisions early, with the builder at the table, cuts them down.
A Smoother Schedule
When selections are finalized before ground breaks, materials can be ordered ahead and construction keeps moving.
What Design-Build Means for Your Custom Home
In a traditional build, you hire a designer or architect first, then bring plans to a builder for pricing. If the bids come back over budget, the plans go back for revisions. That back-and-forth costs time and money. With design-build, one team handles both.
Meet Alicia, Our In-House Design Resource
Our design services are led by Alicia, Elk Ridge's Materials Manager and in-house design resource. Alicia guides clients through each step of the design process, helping them make intentional decisions that reflect their style, support the way they live and keep the project within budget.
From windows and exterior finishes to cabinetry, countertops, tile, plumbing fixtures, lighting and appliances, Alicia works directly with our construction team and trusted vendors. She coordinates products, pricing and availability so every selection fits both your vision and your budget.
Our Design-Build Process, Step by Step
Every home starts with a conversation. We learn about your goals, lifestyle, preferred architectural style, must-have features and budget. This gives us the foundation for bringing your vision to life.
1. Initial Consultation and Vision
With the vision set, we turn ideas into a plan. Alicia and our team work together from the beginning so design choices, materials and pricing line up before construction starts.
2. Planning, Design and Budgeting
Alicia helps you navigate every selection, from exterior finishes to fixtures and appliances. Our goal is to finalize all selections before ground breaks, so we can plan ahead and keep construction efficient.
3. Selections and Preparation
Our team coordinates the trades, materials and schedule through every phase, from foundation and framing to mechanical systems and interior finishes. We keep you informed and help you make timely decisions along the way.
4. Construction and Coordination
As construction wraps up, we walk the home with you and build a detailed punch list together, so every detail feels just right.
5. Finishing Touches and Final Walkthrough
Handing over the keys is a milestone, not the end of our relationship. Every homeowner receives a personalized Welcome Home Binder with the subcontractors who worked on the home, paint colors, appliance manuals and space to keep passwords and important home information in one place.
6. Closing and Welcome Home
Building in Driggs, Victor and Tetonia comes with its own set of challenges: heavy snow loads, a short construction window, well and septic planning and county permitting timelines. A design that looks great on paper still has to work on your lot and in our climate.
Because our designer and builders work side by side, those local realities shape the plan from day one. The result is a home designed for how you live and built for where you live.
You can see that approach in our recent work, including the Woodrush home: minimalist modern architecture paired with warm wood tones, bold black accents and statement stone, set against wide-open valley views. Browse more in our custom homes gallery.
