Serious projects start with design.
If you are planning an addition, garage, porch, outdoor living space, remodel, or new construction project, Highlander may recommend starting with a paid Design & Consultation Agreement. This helps define the scope, create useful drawings, understand realistic budget ranges, and prepare the project for estimating, permitting, and construction.
Still exploring? That is okay. Tell us what you are considering, and we will help you understand the right next step.
View the design phasesTell us about the project.
For many construction projects, the first step is not an instant quote — it is defining the scope. Share what you are considering, any plans you already have, and your timeline. A Highlander project advisor will personally review and respond as soon as possible.

Plan Before You Build.
Highlander's Design & Consultation Agreement is a paid, three-phase planning program that turns an idea into a permit-ready, buildable scope — before construction pricing is finalized.
Discovery & Scope
Site review, goals, constraints, and a written scope of work. We define what the project really is — before anyone draws or prices it.
Plans, 3D Views & Material Direction
Our in-house design team produces layouts, 3D views, and material direction so you can see, refine, and approve the build before it starts.
Permit Set & Construction Documents
Permit-ready drawings and construction documents your crew can actually build from — and your county will actually approve.
A portion of design fees can credit toward your construction agreement when you build with Highlander — a true design-build advantage.
