The Hudson Way: How We Build Your Home
At Hudson Design and Build we guide you through an experience rooted in care, craftsmanship, and clarity. Here’s what to expect when you build with us.
1. Discovery & Design Conversation
We begin with a discovery call to learn your goals, style, location, timeline, and budget. After a site visit, we present a Design & Development contract that outlines deliverables and design process details. This ensures alignment before we move forward. Be sure to read up on our frequently asked questions.
2. Design & Development Contract
We collaborate closely with you to design a space that reflects your vision. We anchor your design around one key feature you love, then build out from there. With support from our trusted design consultants, we guide you through:
-
Conceptual planning
-
Energy-efficient layouts and siting
-
Personalized finish selections like lighting, cabinetry, tile, and more
-
Realistic budgeting and preliminary timelines
3. Contract & Pre-Construction Planning
Once design, scope, and budget are finalized, and you are comfortable:

We sign a Build Contract in your Buildertrend client portal
