New Construction & Spec-home Design
Design-led direction for builders and homeowners creating homes from the ground up.
Designing from the ground up.
New construction is where design decisions matter most. Early choices shape not only how a home looks, but how it functions, sells, and lives long before the final walkthrough.
At TBH, we specialize in spec home and new construction design, partnering closely with builders, developers, and project teams to guide selections with clarity, efficiency, and intention. Our role is to translate vision into build-ready direction that supports timelines, budgets, and long-term livability.
Whether the project is a spec home, custom build, or full rebuild, our work begins early and stays focused on creating cohesive, elevated homes that stand out in both quality and market appeal.

Elevated Selections. Cohesive Direction.
In new construction and spec homes, selections do the heavy lifting. They influence buyer perception, construction efficiency, and overall value. We make early, decisive selections that align with builder allowances, trusted vendors, and timelines, while still delivering a refined, market-ready result.
Our role is to create a clear design direction that carries through the entire home, so every finish, fixture, and material feels intentional and connected.
What you can expect:
- Allowance-conscious selections that support predictable pricing
- Curated palettes designed to elevate spec and custom homes
- Streamlined coordination with builders and trade partners
- Organized finish packages that are easy for your subs to follow
Design That Translates Clearly to the Build
Great design only works if it can be built well. We collaborate early with builders, architects, and contractors to shape layouts, architectural details, built-ins, and lighting before construction is underway.
Our design intent is documented clearly, reducing guesswork, minimizing rework, and keeping projects moving forward with confidence.
- Electrical + lighting plans
- Built-in & cabinetry elevations
- Tile layouts & installation diagrams
- Finish schedules & spec sheets
- Clear documentation that reduces rework and uncertainty
Renderings: Bringing vision into focus.
We translate concepts into immersive visuals that show materials, cabinetry, lighting, and proportions with near-real accuracy. These become a roadmap for builders — and a powerful sales tool for buyers.
Why Renderings Matter:
- Alignment on design direction early
- Fewer surprises during construction
- Confidence in selections + scale
- A competitive edge in the spec-home market
