Custom Home in Barrington

A custom home in Barrington, the town Skycrest works out of, built on a plan that kept being revised until the owners actively wanted to build it.

Built in our own town

Barrington is where we are based, so a house here gets looked at more often than most. That is no bad thing. Being close by means a progress walk happens when the work calls for one rather than when somebody can finally fit it into a drive across the region.

The design stage is where a build is really decided. We start from the list of wants and needs, develop a preliminary plan, then sit down and mark it up together. We keep doing that between owner, builder and architect until the drawing is right, because this is the cheapest point at which to change your mind.
