Custom Home Design, Built for How You Want to Live
Our design team brings integrated design-build expertise to every project - creating thoughtful, efficient homes tailored specifically to you, your family, and your needs.
Anticipated Design Process
The New Energy Works design team is in your corner, and we're happy to collaborate in a variety of ways. Our design process typically takes 6-12 months, and looks something like this:
We start off by gathering information about you and your project, including site visits and research on local building code.
The design process begins with sketches and exploration, and we work together to iterate and refine until the concept is complete.
Design documents turn into construction drawings with all of the necessary information for a contractor to build the project.
Final drawings will be issued for permitting and to the builder. The project will mostly transition from the architect to the contractor.

Client Testimonials
"We worked with New Energy Works to create a beautiful home design for a custom home in Gig Harbor. I have to say their craftsmanship and attention to details is unparalleled."
- Gabe S.
"Over the last 10 years, we've been fortunate to use the talents of the New Energy Works team to design, build, and add elements to our Oregon coast home. The initial premier project was the design and building of the house itself. Every step of the process was a wonderful experience. Thoughtful design and amazing craftsmanship gave us our dream home."
