The McKenzie Design Build Process

Engineer-led


Total transparency


No middlemen

Initial Consultation

Every home begins with a conversation. We listen carefully to understand your goals, explore potential lots, and discuss design directions that align with your vision and lifestyle.

Design Collaboration

We partner with a trusted architect to craft a home tailored specifically to you. With our engineering background, we evaluate every plan for efficiency, performance, and long-term value.

Budgeting & Permitting

We prepare transparent, detailed budgets and can connect you with financing options if needed. Our team also manages all permitting requirements to keep your project moving.

Construction Oversight

From foundation to finish, we personally manage the build – coordinating trades, solving problems, and protecting quality at every step. You’ll always know what’s happening and who’s responsible.

Completion & Beyond

Before handoff, we walk the home together, make final refinements, and ensure every detail meets our standard. We’re available long after the build is done.

Pre-Construction Planning

We map out your build timeline, finalize materials and finish selections, and coordinate with all subcontractors before ground is broken. This ensures a smooth, predictable build from day one.

Post-Project Support

We remain your resource long after construction ends – for warranty needs, maintenance advice, or future updates. You’re not just building a home, you’re gaining a lasting partnership.

Our Work in Focus

From ground-up custom homes to high-impact remodels and specialty builds, we approach every project with engineering precision and creative vision. Here’s a look at a few recent highlights.

Andrew Bruce


“David built my house. I trusted him and the best compliment I could give here is that if I had to build again right now, he’d be the only person I’d hire. A super talented engineer, but more importantly, someone I can trust with one of the most important projects in your life.”
