Sweeney DesignBuild manages the process from start to finish, from home design to the final coat of paint. When you trust us, you'll finally feel like you have a home that's a part of you. You'll never question the layout or the fixtures. You'll have a solidly built home that will last. 

We’ve seen people create house plans only to find out their perfectly designed dream home is way out of budget. Instead, we work to understand your budget and your needs from the start.

The Vermont home design process that sets us apart.

  • We take the time to truly get to know you. We want to know your likes and dislikes, your style, and how you function so we can create a space that feels like you.

  • Bring us your Houzz and Pinterest boards, magazine clippings, and hand-drawn floor plans. We capture everything on your wish list, talk about priorities, do a site analysis, look at permitting needs, and discuss budget.

  • We present you with a set of schematic designs or rough construction drawings. These schematics incorporate the original design ideas, proposed materials, project parameters, and the beginning budget. If changes are made, the budget is continuously updated.

  • We create 3D models so you can feel like you’re in your home before it’s built. This helps us perfect room layouts, rooflines, and window and door placement. We’ll also talk through HVAC and electrical options, flooring options, kitchen and bath cabinet options, and appliance needs.

  • We produce a complete set of construction documents along with an updated budget. It’s all hands on deck as our team gets ready to bring your new build, addition, or renovation to life!

  • We work efficiently and thoughtfully to minimize stress and impact on your day-to-day life. We’ll show you a better way to experience construction that’s on time, on budget, and built with true artisanship and attention to detail. Given the current building climate, hurdles may pop up. We communicate any changes in the supply chain, timeline, materials, or finishes as the project moves along.

We love what we do, and it shows

“All we can say is fabulous…three times! Usually, at the end of a building project, you say, “Next time we’ll do it differently or with another builder.” Not with Shawn and his quality team. They have designed and built three projects for us. Design, new construction, or remodeling, they do it all. We started the process with a spatial lifestyle design and several meetings later had a plan that worked for us. We were delighted every time.”

“So many builds go wrong because the right questions weren’t asked from the beginning.”
