Planning Before Building

Design-Build Services

Many homeowners come to us before they have drawings. They know they want more space, a better layout, an ADU, a garage, or a new home, but they are not sure what comes first. Arrow Structures uses a design-build approach to help turn early ideas into a clearer plan before construction begins.

Why Design-Build?

A process that helps you know what to do first.

Design-build brings planning, design thinking, and construction coordination into one connected path. Instead of handing the project from one company to another, the process stays more aligned from the first conversation through the final build decisions.

That often means clearer communication, fewer disconnects between drawings and field realities, and a smoother path for decisions about layout, materials, budget, and timing.

Client Stories

★★★★★ Melissa R.

We started the ADU conversation thinking about family first, but we also wanted a space that could create rental income later. Arrow helped us think through privacy, layout, parking, finishes, and how the cottage would feel in the backyard. It gave us more than extra square footage; it gave the property a real second purpose. — ADU planning & build

★★★★★ Daniel K.

We wanted a custom home that felt new without losing the charm we love about St. Pete. Arrow listened to how we wanted the porch, light, kitchen, and outdoor spaces to work together. The finished home feels like it belongs in the neighborhood and still feels completely ours. — St. Petersburg custom home

★★★★★ Chris M.

Our garage needed to do more than hold cars. We wanted storage, a small workshop area, and something that looked right next to the house. Arrow helped us plan the details before construction started, and the finished garage feels useful, solid, and intentional. — Detached garage build
