Our Proven Design-Build Process

A thoughtful, transparent approach that guides you from first conversation to final walkthrough—with clarity and confidence at every step.

From Vision to Completion

At Exodus Design Build, we believe every great home begins with a plan, and every great plan begins with listening. Our design-build process keeps everything under one roof so you can move from concept to construction without the confusion of separate teams or competing priorities. From the first consultation to the final detail, our team walks beside you to ensure your project is beautiful, functional, and built to last.

Our Design-Build Process

01

Initial Consultation

Our journey starts with a personal conversation to understand your goals, vision, and investment range. We discuss your home’s potential, explore possibilities, and outline what a partnership with Exodus Design Build looks like. This is where trust begins, and where your project starts to take shape.
02

Design Agreement & Planning

Once we establish alignment, you’ll enter our design phase. Our in-house designers, along with our architect and engineer partners, collaborate to create detailed plans tailored to your lifestyle. You’ll see layouts, elevations, and renderings that bring your ideas to life while ensuring every choice aligns with your investment and goals.

03

Design Development & Selections

In this phase, you’ll meet with our design team in our Lawrenceville design center to choose materials, finishes, and fixtures. From cabinetry to tile and lighting, every decision is made with expert guidance so the process stays organized and enjoyable.
04

Construction Documents & Permitting

After final design approval, our team refines every technical detail, engineering, construction drawings, and required permits. You’ll receive clear communication on timing, costs, and next steps before any work begins, ensuring a smooth transition into construction.
05

Construction & Project Management

Once construction begins, your dedicated project manager oversees all on-site activity, keeping you informed through JobTread, our client communication platform. Our craftsmen uphold the highest standards of quality, cleanliness, and professionalism, ensuring your home is cared for as if it were our own.
06

Completion & Warranty

Before we hand you the keys, we complete a detailed walkthrough to confirm every finish and fixture meets your expectations. You’ll receive a one-year material and labor warranty along with all manufacturer warranties for added peace of mind, because our relationship doesn’t end when the project does.

Stories From the Homes We’ve Built Together

Exodus is a boutique firm that does custom renovations and build. Their unique family oriented presentation and execution is based on solving for the customer. My wife and I had a major renovation and they proved to be a superior all inclusive company that simply, got it done!

Dustin Edwards

Each member of the Exodus Design Build team was committed to customer satisfaction throughout our kitchen remodel. Excellent communication and planning made for a positive experience that was both professional and personal along the way.

Lisa Zelnick

The team at Exodus was responsive and knowledgeable. They work with skilled craftsmen who are attentive to the needs of the homeowners and are careful to clean up well after themselves. The work itself was completed to the highest standards of craftsmanship. And they brought the project in on time and on budget. We recommend them highly.

Randy Brunson

Thanks to the Exodus team for a job well done on a partial remodel of our kitchen. It was a pleasure working with you and look forward to when we can do it again. During the process the team was responsive and caring taking time to address all questions and help with our decision making (rather our indecisive moments). We are very pleased with the work performed and have already bragged to family and neighbors about their service. I can say we knew Garrett when he was just starting as a handyman of sorts. It's great to team up with him again on a more involved job and are thrilled with the results. Job well done!

Scott

We were thrilled with our project by Exodus Design & Build! They transformed our terrace level with a stunning bar, billiard room, and steam room. From the first meeting, their focus on design, execution, and project management set them apart. Communication was excellent, the work stayed on budget and schedule, and every detail—from cabinetry to tile—was flawless. The team was a joy to work with, and we couldn’t be happier. Highly recommend!

Kristen K.

We hired Exodus Design & Build for a full renovation of our older townhome while living out of state, and they exceeded every expectation. From the start, they educated us on needs vs. wants, helping us align scope and budget. The Design team perfectly captured our vision and added creative touches, while the Build team was knowledgeable, communicative, and responsive. Their client portal made tracking progress, budget, and changes effortless. We always knew exactly where things stood, and the entire team was professional, transparent, and a pleasure to work with. Highly recommend!

Laura Hurban

We had an amazing experience with Exodus on our primary bedroom and bathroom addition. The team was professional, transparent, and truly listened to our vision, guiding us with great communication and attention to detail. Construction was smooth, timely, and respectful of our home—even while we lived and worked there. The craftsmanship is exceptional, and every inch feels thoughtfully designed. We couldn’t be happier with the result and highly recommend Exodus to anyone seeking a reliable, high-quality design-build team.

Mallory Simpson

We recently worked with Exodus Design Build to renovate our kitchen and living area, and we couldn’t be happier. Our goal was to create more space for family and entertaining, and Exodus exceeded expectations at every stage. The team was professional, communicative, and solution-oriented, handling challenges seamlessly. The result is a beautiful, functional space that perfectly fits our lifestyle. We highly recommend Exodus for their expertise, transparency, and commitment to quality.
