Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers Near Burlington

“We can't recommend Peregrine Design Build enough. They built our home in North Hero, Vermont, and the whole experience was a genuine success from start to finish. What stood out most was the creativity they brought to the design process. We were hoping to create an heirloom house, something that stays in the family for generations, and Cliff, the main designer, really understood that vision. He listened closely to our ideas and then added his own creative touches that made the design even better than what we'd imagined. On the construction side, Chris led the build and was nothing short of amazing. The job site was always kept meticulously clean, and the quality of the finished home speaks for itself. What really impressed us was the attention to detail. The team consistently went the extra mile to make sure everything was done right. If you're looking for a design build team that combines real creativity with careful, high quality craftsmanship, we can't say enough good things about Peregrine. They gave us a home we're proud of and excited to pass down for years to come.”

“It's been 6 months living with our new expanded kitchen and we are as thrilled as the day we moved back into the space. Overall the experience was better than expected for a multi-month renovation - communication was always clear, we felt in control of decision-making, and we knew that Lewis Creek were truly our partners in making the end result something we'd love. There are pros and cons listed below (no scenario, especially a large reno is without a few cons): Project scope: Bump out a 16' section of the front of our ranch house to expand the kitchen with a new layout; change the roofline & vault ceiling over the new kitchen area; integrate basement stairs into the main living space by removing a doorway & taking a wall down to half-height; custom cherry woodwork on half-wall & beams across kitchen ceiling; new windows; refinish floors; new cabinets, countertop, stove, integrated microwave, lighting, etc Pros: - They were responsive and listened clearly to what we were trying to achieve. LCB offered suggestions/designs that flexed beyond our initial vision (we had a very detailed vision) which helped improve the final outcome beyond what we had originally imagined. - The build team (lead carpenter to apprentices) were all wonderful to have around (we lived/worked at home thru the whole project) - They were considerate of our experience - good dust protection, daily clean-ups to ensure our dog could safely walk thru the workspace, confirmed we were cool with music playing while they worked, etc - Any issues or mistakes (humans are human) were communicated realtime and were always made right - this extended to an issue with the countertop provider where LCB went to bat for us and we love the end result - Project management & invoices were always clear - questions I had were always answered promptly - The subs they work with are all great to work with, too - We finished up basically on time (maybe 2 weeks past the planned date) - We ended about 15-20% above the planned max budget, but this was mainly due to decisions we made along the way and it was always clear where we were in control of the costs, so I'm putting it in the Pro category - The team is clearly HAPPY to be at work and it shows - I overheard a lot of training/support in ways that made me confident in the work being done. There were also a number of women involved, which was awesome to see :) Cons: - I had to be explicit with the information we needed in order to make decisions on what to keep, cut, and how to balance the budget. That said, whenever I was clear on the exact information we needed, we always got it quickly and LCB supported our decisions fully - The budget doc with all of the line items was a monster in Excel shared in PDF - I had to create my own version of the key line items to track more functionally on our side, which is something many people may not want to do We would happily go back to LCB for our next project.”

“Melissa designed a major remodel of my home - moving a staircase, opening up spaces, putting outside doors in, and reworking the HVAC completely. She was so patient with me and had great suggestions. I appreciated both her attentiveness to my needs and wants, as well as her attention to both the engineering and design details. I’m in love with the result!”
