We couldn't be happier with how our home turned out. Every detail was handled thoughtfully, and the team was professional and communicative from start to finish.

Founder + Origin
Why we chose design-build.
Alex spent more than a decade inside traditional construction, watching the architect-to-contractor handoff play out the same way: three gaps — budget, accountability, timeline — became problems the homeowner had to solve. He founded RDB in 2015 on the principle that those gaps are a process problem, not the client's problem.
Design-build closes all three by putting the builder at the design table from day one. Alex collaborates closely with long-standing design partner Dwane Adle, FASID, AIA, bringing constructability, cost, and sequencing into every design decision.
How + We Work
How we work.
Two paths, one contract. Projects start with our in-house design team, or come with an architect our client has already chosen (including architects Alex has partnered with for years). Either way, the contract stays single-source through RDB and the builder is in the design conversation from day one.
Every project runs through a paid preconstruction phase. No "free estimates" corner-cutting. We publish pricing because transparency is how trust starts. During construction we report weekly with photos and budget status; decision points are flagged in advance.
What + Different
What makes us different.
We invested in project management systems most firms our size don't have: real-time budget tracking, quality checklists at every phase, daily project logs, and a client dashboard with 24/7 visibility. That's what lets us publish fixed prices at the end of preconstruction, catch variances the day they occur, and keep change orders at 3–7% instead of the 10–20% common on traditional design-bid-build.
The outcome: fewer surprises, a schedule that actually holds, and a homeowner who never has to hold the project together.

What our clients say.
The new addition feels like it was always meant to be part of our home. We spend so much more time in this space now, and it completely changed how we enjoy our lake views.

Answers + Clarity
Frequently asked.
Why only 12 projects a year?
Quality of attention. Design-build only works when the team building your home is the same team that designed it, tracking your budget, and on site every week. Scale past twelve and something breaks — usually the part you cared about most.
Do I have to use your in-house design team?
No. RDB has in-house design capability and also collaborates regularly with architects our clients bring in (including architects Alex has worked alongside for years). The design-build advantage — early cost validation, one accountability point, no bid-shock — works either way. What matters is the builder being in the design conversation from day one.
