The design process varies widely, and we would establish construction timelines as design develops. We often book larger projects 1 to 2 years in advance, but sometimes smaller projects fit in between the larger jobs more quickly. It heavily depends on your project, the design timing, and available resources, which is an ever-changing dynamic.
We focus our build efforts in the Ann Arbor area and Greater Washtenaw County.
We don't have a set minimum project size, but most of our projects are at least $100K, unless it's a small phase of a larger project.
Absolutely! We have a proven track record of managing projects remotely for clients who remain out of state throughout the majority of the design and build process. Modern technology makes this a very successful collaboration.

With a design-build approach, you will be working with one company from start to finish. Our design and build teams are working toward the same goal, and they collaborate throughout the life of the project. The guiding purpose is a streamlined experience, plus improved budget management, reliable continuity of service, and dedicated advocacy for your interests.
Giraffe has experience taking on a design-only or build-only approach in partnership with another firm. We are flexible in our collaboration and can seamlessly integrate with your existing team to bring your project to life.
While we are overarchingly a design-oriented company, there is a strong streak of interest in cutting-edge green building practices and technologies. Our architects and builders are familiar with a broad range of building systems, from structural and mechanical to finishes, that support energy efficiency. We take the lead on suggesting the best green practices, such as passive solar techniques or solar panel coordination, to ensure your home is both beautiful and eco-friendly.
Yes! We frequently assist clients with furnishing their spaces and sourcing anything from artwork to textiles. We are also available for projects that focus exclusively on interior design. See our Bridge House interiors work for an example.
