My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Featured Reviews for Sustainable Design Companies in Portland Maine

Lindsey Architects
Sustainable Design Companies in Portland Maine
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsFebruary 3, 2015
“We started off needing an architect to complete some routine as-built drawings for an inn we are renovating. We were amazed at how quickly and professionally Hiroko was able to complete this for us. During this project, we were struck by her vast understanding of code requirements and structural issues. She was also great for helping us understand the municipal process in NH. We also discovered she has an excellent design sense. When we were ready to tackle a barn renovation with 40x60 addition to be used as a wedding venue, we had no doubt we would like to work with Lindsey Architects again. She is great at listening to what we want, giving us sensible advice and putting a design together that really works. We have even collected some building materials in advance which she is willing to work with. A few months back, we purchased an entire wine room from a homeowner who was renovating his home.. Hiroko did a great job working it into the design. We also really appreciate the fact that she is conscious of the fact that we do have a budget!”
BRIBURN – Architecture for Life
Sustainable Design Companies in Portland Maine
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsFebruary 26, 2015
“We took on Briburn for a substantial new residential project on the basis of their website and their stated philosophy, and a 2 hour interview/discussion. As our first and only choice, they clearly stood out among a dozen other architects in the area. We are in the midst of planning now and the process is almost painless. Their guidance is gentle and considerate; their knowledge of "green" building practices is vast. I'm eagerly looking forward to the next steps in this adventure with Briburn.”
Reiter Architecture & Design
Sustainable Design Companies in Portland Maine
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsSeptember 2, 2021
“We used Lauren for a complete remodel including kitchen, multiple bathrooms, playroom, and bedroom. We used her for complete architectural and interior design. She was with us from start to finish of the project and we owe the success to her. Lauren has great design skills which is completely obvious by viewing her portfolio. The equally as helpful (and likely more important) skills that she brings to the table are her attention to detail and her perseverance in dealing with the contractors. She is there at every meeting to crack the proverbial whip and is very responsive (NYC responsive ;) to email/ phone/ text. I have and will continue to recommend her without reservation.”

Custom Home Builder FAQs
The duration of sustainable design projects varies based on scope, size, and complexity. A smaller renovation project may take a few months, while designing and constructing a new sustainable home could span over a year or more. Early in the planning phase, sustainable design companies provide a detailed timeline, including key milestones.
Sustainable Design Companies prioritize materials that are non-toxic, recycled, and renewable. They stay updated on the latest sustainable design trends and innovations, like biophilic design or zero-energy homes, ensuring that your project not only meets current standards but is also future-proof. The selection process often involves a detailed assessment of the life cycle of materials and their environmental impact.
Before reaching out to a Sustainable Design Company, homeowners should define their goals for sustainability, budget, and desired timeline. Gathering inspiration, such as photos or articles about sustainable homes you admire, can also be helpful. Being prepared with this information will streamline the initial consultations and design process.
Sustainable Design Companies are skilled at navigating common challenges such as budget constraints, sourcing materials, and adhering to local building codes and sustainability standards. Through expertise and experience, they offer creative solutions that align with sustainability goals without compromising on design quality.
