We bring that same core value to Aspect Design Build. In times that have become more and more impersonal, we strive for the opposite. The two of us are involved in every phase of Aspect Design Build, which ensures an emphasis on relationships with both our clients and each professional involved in the process. Our established partnerships mean clients can be assured our professional affiliates share in our commitment to quality and detail. To that end, we choose to work with a limited number of clients each year to provide the kind of tailored, personal attention and communication needed to deliver on the Design Build promise. As a personal builder, we are involved in every Aspect of our client’s Design and Build. Each project is personal, unique, and the details are carefully thought out so that we are able to achieve the client’s Aspect of the project. Home design marries individual lifestyle needs with a mix of architectural lines, massing, lighting, colors, and textures. Cohesively blending them to allow form and function to be beautiful, unique, and tailored to each client. Being involved in every Aspect from the beginning, we are able to continually reference our client’s vision, and interpret the Build through their eyes, not our own. Our goal isn’t to build a house and move on. Our desire is to be with the client every step of the way in hopes of providing a custom solution to each client’s unique real estate need as a whole. It’s a service that only a personal builder could provide. ### Services Provided - New Home Construction - Home Remodeling - Home Additions - Home Extensions - Green Building - Sustainable Design - Custom Homes ### Areas Served - Minneapolis - Bloomington - Plymouth - Eden Prairie - Minnetonka - Edina - Minnetonka Mills - Saint Louis Park - Shakopee - Chaska - Chanhassen - Golden Valley - New Hope - Hopkins - Waconia - Victoria - Mound - Orono - Minnetrista - Shorewood - Medina - Carver - Rockford - Wayzata - Deephaven - Independence - Greenfield - Osseo - Excelsior - Cologne - Saint Bonifacius - Spring Park - Long Lake - Maple Plain - Tonka Bay - Greenwood - Loretto - Woodland - Minnetonka Beach - Medicine Lake - Crystal Bay - Mount - Navarre - Young America ### Typical Job Cost $100,000 - 3,000,000 ## Business Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Business Name | Aspect Design Build | | Address | Excelsior, Minnesota 55331, United States | | Phone | (612) 816-3969 | | Website | http://www.aspectdesignbuild.com | | Followers on Houzz | 111 | **Social profiles:** - Blog — aspectdesignbuild.com ## Contact - **Houzz profile:** [Aspect Design Build](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/home-builders/aspect-design-build-pfvwus-pf~186135718) - **Website:** http://www.aspectdesignbuild.com - **Phone:** (612) 816-3969 ## Credentials - **Best of Houzz:** 4 awards (2017–2024), for Design, Service. ## Reviews **Overall rating: 5.0 out of 5 — 5 reviews** ### All 5 reviews **★★★★★ — Northland Woodworks, Inc., June 2016** > We worked with Aspect Design Build on a recent project and were blown away at their overall professionalism when representing both our company and theirs to others in the industry and prospective clients. In this day and age we see many of the same homes replicated fast and cheap, yet Aspect took the time to create a home outside of the box and set their design above the rest; more importantly they took the time to build the home with quality. With fresh ideas based upon a combination of experience and listening to you, Aspect creates a home unique to you built on trust. We would highly recommend Aspect Design Build to a discerning homeowner looking for a builder that pays attention to the details and maintains complete craftsmanship throughout the home. **Comment from Aspect Design Build:** > Leah and Matt, > > Thank you for your kind words. Our quality stems from the trades and craftsman that we work with. You are at the top of that list. We appreciate the way you walk through the details and help us deliver upon our Design Build promise. > > Shaun **★★★★★ — Meghan Lundgren, May 2016** > We worked with Aspect Design Build on a recent project and were blown away at their overall professionalism when representing both our company and theirs to others in the industry and prospective clients.

This home featured several things native to mountain living. Exterior elements were captured on the home and brought indoors to reflect a harmonious flow throughout the home. The use of large wood beams, decking and blanks helped to create a cabin/barn type environment but in an elegant setting. Aspect worked closely with us to capture certain elements unique to us but also brought their own creative elements to complete the overall package. Aspect was able to complete the project on time and on budget even though an aggressive schedule was mandated. The owner of Aspect was present on a weekly basis to ensure a high level of quality was maintained throughout the home. My wife and I are very pleased with the end result and would recommend them to anyone. **Comment from Aspect Design Build:** > Jay and Angela, thank you for your kind words. You both made the process very enjoyable for our team and it was satisfying to see they way your home came together for your family. Thank you for your collaboration and patience along the way. > > Take care, > > Shaun **★★★★★ — Lawrence Architecture, Inc., April 2016** > Aspect Design Build is a highly talented and professional organization. From project concept to completion - they take a very "hands on" approach to all aspects of design and construction. They strive to build the best possible project without sacrificing project budget or schedule. It was my pleasure to work with Aspect Design Build and would welcome a chance to work with them again. I highly recommend them. **Comment from Aspect Design Build:** > Rick, thank you for your review. Especially in the shoes of a very talented architect, you couldn't be more patient with our design quirks and process. I've loved how the floor plans, elevations, and architectural details have come together on our projects with you. You've been great at giving us some leash while guiding us through key decisions to create a great product. > > Thank you! > > Shaun **★★★★★ — Danielle P, April 2016** > We recently built a house with Aspect Design Build, and were thrilled at the outcome. The team was professional, easy to communicate with, and very timely. The build even finished ahead of schedule. Shaun has great vision and insight that saved us money and still got us the look we desired. We were also happy with their transparent build fee model, as we knew they were working for us in the most efficient manner possible. **Comment from Aspect Design Build:** > Danielle, > > Thank you for your review and your kind words. We had a lot of fun working with you and creating your vision. Your home is looking great. I loved the pictures of the sunroom. I can't wait for landscaping to go in for you guys to fully enjoy of the space with your family. > > Shaun ## Selected projects - [Unicorn Ranch](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/unicorn-ranch-pj-vj~7396793) - Location: Independence, MN - Photos: 62 - [Coqui's Homestead](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/coqui-s-homestead-pj-vj~7396836) - Location: Orono, MN - Photos: 57 - [Tonka Warm Moden](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/tonka-warm-moden-pj-vj~7397196) - Location: Tonka Bay, MN - Photos: 37 - [Honeysuckle - Organic Modern](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/honeysuckle-organic-modern-pj-vj~7005508) - Location: Deephaven, MN - Photos: 47 - [Warm-Modern](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/warm-modern-pj-vj~7004606) - Location: Woodland, MN - Photos: 44 - [Midcentury Manor](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/midcentury-manor-pj-vj~7005506) - Location: Shorewood, MN - Photos: 27 - [Scandinavian Simple](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/scandinavian-simple-pj-vj~7004622) - Location: Shorewood, MN - Photos: 15 - [Manor Road - Salt](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/manor-road-salt-pj-vj~7004631) - Location: Deephaven, MN - Photos: 31 - [Smithtown Artisan Home](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/smithtown-artisan-home-pj-vj~5886167) - Location: Excelsior, MN - Photos: 27 - [Lake Independence Homestead](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/lake-independence-homestead-pj-vj~5944207) - Location: Maple Plain, MN - Photos: 35 - Description: With a main floor master, and flowing but intimate spaces, it will function for both daily living and extended family events.
