Building, renovating and designing here.

Barclay Downs is a 1950s–1970s neighborhood inside one of Charlotte's most expensive submarkets. That combination produces a very specific kind of work: tear-downs on quarter-acre lots, deep renovations of solid brick ranches, additions squeezed between setbacks and protected trees, and interiors that have to reconcile an eight-foot original ceiling with a new ten-foot addition. The pages below explain each discipline as it is actually practiced in this corridor — scope, sequence, cost drivers and the decisions that are expensive to reverse.

How the disciplines connect

The projects that go badly in this neighborhood almost always fail at a handoff: lighting chosen after drywall, an AV rack with no ventilation, a rear addition framed before anyone decided where the kitchen island would sit. On a renovation or new build, the builder, designer and technology integrator should be in the same conversation before framing inspection. That single sequencing decision removes most change orders.
