Challenge

The risk in traditional building

The traditional building approach often creates barriers for coordination between designers and builders. It also limits your control of your project while increasing your financial risk as the homeowner.



In this aging model, the owner is primarily responsible for selecting an architect, bidding the project, navigating the permitting process, selecting the general contractor, and then serving as the intermediary between design and building professionals. It’s difficult to manage this process efficiently, which leads to prolonged schedules, cost overruns, and tension between groups.

A better way to build

Our Design-Build approach consolidates the design and construction aspects of your project under one contract and with a single point of accountability.



This method ensures strong collaboration between designers, engineers and builders because — very simply — all are contractually committed to the success of your project from pre-design to completion.

“GLA Morris offers a tremendous amount of building experience for today’s homeowner. Their approach is practical, yet innovative, as is their ability to guide a project from pre-design to closeout. It’s not easy to consistently build a quality mountain home while staying within budget. Working with an experienced Design-Builder makes all of the difference.”

A better client experience

We are here to build a roadmap to help you navigate through the process. Whether that means selecting the right plot of land, exploring your best lending options, or securing town approval for your plans, our goal is to make this process as transparent and seamless as possible.



Every state and local jurisdiction can be different when it comes to building regulations. We team with your designer to review the constructability of your home and ensure that it’s built to meet local requirements.
