Beyond Adobe's Design + Build Projects strive to create affordable, sustainable and beautiful homes. Our in-house design team specializes in homes that stress "elegance in simplicity." We provide services from design conception to construction completion. A Deign + Build project service offers the flexibility and creativity to meet one's daily needs while inspiring one's hopes and dreams.

By using Beyond Adobe for your entire Design + Build process, you can both manage costs significantly and reduce the time it takes to complete the project. Our commitment and experience allows for designs that highlight adobes' advantages while simplifying construction methods and means. We incorporate active and passive solar design elements, clay and lime plasters, and locally harvested lumber. All elements combine to provide richly appointed homes.

Design + Build costs vary from project to project. Costs are dependent on a variety of factors but none more influential than you the client! You will decide the ultimate size of the project, quality of the materials and the final budget. We can only tell you what we can build it for.

Beyond Adobe Design Services for smaller homes (1,500 sq/ft or less) are typically developed for under $5.00 per square foot. Cabins, small shelters, accessory buildings are much less. Homes of a larger nature, sites with difficult terrain and design requests outside the norm will often cost substantially more. Normally, engineering costs can be avoided if the design can stay within the normal practices and conditions commonly seen in the field and allowed in the code.

How much can you build it for? A common question asked and here is our answer. An average Beyond Adobe Design + Build is around $150 a foot. Want a full off the grid power supply? Expect to pay closer to $200 a foot. It all depends on your needs and wants. We are here to help so give us a call!
