We contacted several businesses and only heard back from McConnell and Ewing... And heard from them the same day. This company begins your dream build with plans and stays with you to help find contractors you're comfortable with to build your home. They actually stay with you till your project is completed. We are currently working with Brad and we couldn't be more pleased. We are doing our design and build in stages. He works at our pace and we don't feel rushed at all to complete our project in a specific time frame. Brad came out to out build site and spent the entire day creating a floor plan that we were happy with. Then he staked the property to make sure our design would fit. I would recommend this company to those looking for a fresh idea. We are really pleased with our experience so far. ## Selected projects - [Golf Vacation Home](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/golf-vacation-home-pj-vj~60497) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 20 - [Indian Hill Renovation](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/indian-hill-renovation-pj-vj~2686258) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 42 - [Craftsman Cliffhanger](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/craftsman-cliffhanger-pj-vj~1011271) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 16 - [Hyde Park Pool House](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/hyde-park-pool-house-pj-vj~2246057) - Location: Cincinnati, OH - Photos: 10 - [Contemporary Suburban Renovation](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/contemporary-suburban-renovation-pj-vj~1595079) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 8 - [East Side Renovation](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/east-side-renovation-pj-vj~1935263) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 17 - [Wyoming, Ohio Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/wyoming-ohio-residence-pj-vj~2934961) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 14 - [Artisian Woodworker's Home](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/artisian-woodworker-s-home-pj-vj~70018) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 14 - [River View Retreat](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/river-view-retreat-pj-vj~2964705) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 24 - [Anderson Twp.

Thanks!** *(in Photo Questions)* A: Thank you for the question! This door was fabricated by Pater Architectural out of Aurora, IN. For more information you can contact John Pater at (812) 926-4845. **Q: Paint** *(in Photo Questions)* Could you please share what brand and color the blue walls are? Thank you, they are beautiful. A: Thanks for the question! Unfortunately, we did not select the paint, so we don't know the exact brand and color. We do know it's a slate gray and only appears blue because of the light coming in from the outside. **Q: Nice Wrought Iron Railings** *(in Photo Questions)* These railings look to be custom? Where did they come from? A: Sheri, you are correct. The railings are custom! They were fabricated in Cincinnati by Kirwan Industries (http://www.kirwanindustries.com/) and installed on site by the fabricator. **Q: What type of wood was used on the cabinets? Amazing!** *(in Photo Questions)* This is a beautiful kitchen. The woodwork is outstanding. A: All the woodwork throughout the house is mahogany. The entirety of the woodwork was done by Corlis Woodworks. http://www.corliswoodworks.com --- *Source: Houzz professional profile. Reflects the profile as of 2026-08-16.*
