Why Design-Build?

Integrated Design & Architecture

Our in-house Universal Design Certified Professional works directly with you to create a cohesive vision for your project. By integrating design and architecture from the start, we ensure every detail aligns with your lifestyle needs and aesthetic preferences, eliminating costly miscommunications and design conflicts that plague traditional build processes.

Seamless Construction Management

With one team handling both design and construction, you experience a streamlined process from concept to completion. Our experienced project managers coordinate every phase, keeping your project on schedule and on budget while maintaining open communication throughout. No finger-pointing between separate designers and builders—just accountability and results.

We source quality materials and employ skilled craftspeople who take pride in their work. As ICF (Insulated Concrete Form) specialists, we deliver superior energy efficiency, durability, and comfort that will serve your family for generations.

What Our Clients Say

Desert Earth and Wood recently completed a remodel of one of the apartments in my duplex and they did such a great job that I’m for sure going to have them do the other unit, and the outside. The project went very smoothly and finished in time and very close to the estimate!
– Alan
I have worked on several projects with Tim Barrett of Desert Earth and Wood. The care, attention to detail, and workmanship are all outstanding. I recommend him very highly.
– Margaret

Our house remodel/addition was our second and biggest project with DEW. Even before and during Covid, they worked closely with us guiding us through the design process to make decisions which met our goals. 

– S. Holden

They kept me fully informed throughout the entire job, assisted in design choices, stayed within my budget and met agreed upon timelines. Their craftsmanship throughout the entire project was superior. This is a company that takes great pride in their work and will go above and beyond to insure the job is properly completed.
