Methodology

How FabuHome works.

We start with the constraints that decide the project: property, city path, budget, materials, and build sequence. Then the design has a better chance of becoming real.

01

Define the project before drawings get expensive.

A useful first conversation covers the city, property condition, target use, rough budget, timeline, and where the owner needs help.

  • Site and city constraints
  • ADU, remodel, addition, cabinet, or material scope
  • Budget range and schedule pressure
  • Known permitting or construction risks

02

Design toward permit, pricing, and the jobsite.

Plans and renderings are treated as working decisions, not decoration. Layout, cabinet intent, material direction, and construction scope need to survive review and pricing.

  • Layout options with tradeoffs
  • Permit-ready drawing coordination when needed
  • Buildability checks before the scope hardens

03

Make material decisions early.

Cabinets, flooring, structural material, fixtures, and appliances can control schedule and budget. FabuHome pulls those choices forward instead of letting them ambush the build.

  • Cabinet type and finish direction
  • Material lead-time awareness
  • Sourcing decisions tied to the project budget

04

Coordinate the right licensed support.

FabuHome is GC-led. Not every residential project needs a licensed architect, but when architecture or structural input is required, FabuHome helps coordinate the right qualified professionals.

  • General contractor-led project support
  • Architect and structural coordination when the scope calls for it
  • Clear owner communication across decisions

Transparency

What we do not pretend.

  • We do not promise city approval before review.
  • We do not treat pretty renderings as a final construction scope.
  • We do not claim every project needs the same licensed professional path.
  • We do not separate design advice from budget, sourcing, and build constraints.

Tell us what you want to build.

A useful first message includes the property city, project type, timeline, and budget range. Vague messages get vague answers. Specifics save everyone time.
