Your Trusted Design-Build General Contractor

At Appropriate Home Design, we've been serving Cape Cod homeowners as a trusted general contractor since 1985. Our unique design-build approach streamlines your construction project by combining architectural design and construction services under one roof. This integrated method eliminates the common frustrations of working with separate designers and builders, ensuring seamless communication, better cost control, and faster project completion.

Whether you're planning a custom home, major renovation, home addition, or complete remodel, our design-build process ensures your vision becomes reality without the headaches of coordinating multiple contractors.

The design-build approach offers significant advantages over traditional construction methods. By having one team responsible for both design and construction, you benefit from cost savings through value engineering, reduced project timelines, clearer accountability, and fewer surprises. Our team works collaboratively from initial concept through final completion, ensuring every detail aligns with your goals and budget.
