Design Build Model

McDowell + Satzinger Fine Homes is a Design / Build firm that creates exceptional homes and solid customer attention. We make it easy for you to start a project, to live through and finish a major design and construction process. Design/Build is a team process. No need to call an architect, designer and a builder, we do it all. McDowell + Satzinger Fine Homes is the leader in design build firms in Santa Fe NM. Our initial consultation is a no-cost, no obligation visit. This is a “get to know you” meeting that sets the stage for your project. We learn what your goals are, what you consider comfortable and responsible design, and then prepare a preliminary budget. If the budget meets your approval, we move to the next step: Architectural Design and Concept.

Many design build firms do not have architects and designers. Our architects and designers are on staff and work with us as a team. They will meet with you to interpret your vision and create drawings and options for you to choose. Once you determine your choice, we tie up all the loose ends like cabinetry, fixtures, lighting and move to the next step; construction. Other design build firms string together carpenters to work on the various projects they have going. The result is an unreliable work force that delays your job. We use a dedicated team of craftsmen that are on staff and on the job until it is finished. They take over from the design team and build your vision to expectation and beyond. Our attention to detail and use of quality products means your project is built to last, and we give you a written warranty. Custom homes built by McDowell + Satzinger Fine Homes are a beautiful blend of style, comfort, energy efficiency, sustainability and craftsmanship built exclusively for you.
