OUR PROCESS

 

design / build / DONE

At AMBITO LLC, we’re proud to be a full-service luxury design-build firm — but that doesn’t mean our clients are locked into the entire process with us from start to finish. While we specialize in managing projects seamlessly from concept to completion, we also collaborate regularly with outside architects, builders, and developers. We’re just as comfortable stepping in as the builder for an already-designed home as we are creating custom architectural plans that another contractor will bring to life. Whether you're looking for a trusted construction partner, a skilled design team, or the complete design-build experience, our role is tailored to your needs — not the other way around.

 

1.

INITIAL CONSULTATION

The initial meeting clarifies expectations between client and our team. We discuss the client's vision, present our services, and encourage dialogue about goals, preferences, and budget, and outlining next steps.


2.

DESIGN PHASE

The design phase is a collaboration between the client and our team. We create concepts that align with preferences and regulations, providing options for feedback. Once finalized, drawings and specs are prepared for permit.


3.

PERMITTING PHASE

The permitting phase occurs once we submit all drawings and documents to the City. During this time, we answer to comments and begin working with the client to plan for the budget and construction steps.


4.

CONSTRUCTION PHASE

The fun part and the one you will most enjoy! We will build according to the approved design and continue to have ongoing oversight until final completion and give you the key!

OUR VISION

 
 

From Vision to Reality — Every Step Matters

Design is just the beginning. What truly sets AMBITO LLC apart is our ability to carry that vision through construction with unwavering precision. The images below showcase a real home we've taken from bare land to final walkthrough, a visual journey that reflects how every line drawn in the design phase becomes a physical reality. It’s proof that what we imagine together is exactly what you’ll live in. You’ll see how our attention to detail doesn’t stop at paper — it’s built into the concrete, finishes, and final touches. We believe clients deserve not just a beautiful design, but the peace of mind that it will be executed flawlessly.

1. SITE SELECTION & FEASIBILITY CONSULTING

WE HELP WITH YOUR SEARCH

If you’re still searching for the perfect lot, we offer expert site evaluation services to help you make informed decisions before purchasing.

With our insight, you avoid costly surprises and move forward with confidence. To help you fully visualize your home before it's built, we create detailed 3D renderings and digital walkthroughs that bring the design to life.

From foundation to roof slab, our team ensures every pour, tie beam, and block is completed with precision, accuracy, and control. We understand the importance of a flawless shell — it’s the structural framework that supports everything else. Whether you're building new or adding to an existing structure, we deliver solid results with speed, safety, and engineering discipline. We love working with the shell, that’s actually one of the reasons people love us. We like it so much and we’re do good at it that we often times offer a fixed cost.
