Our Process

At Grace and Nell, relationships are everything and we are very intentional about the number projects we take on at any given time. Our founder, Lauren Browne, will personally direct and manage all of the decision making aspects of your new build.

This approach redefines the home building process, placing our clients at the heart of every decision. We begin by gaining a thorough understanding your unique lifestyle, preferences, and priorities — how you live, work, and play. These insights become the guide for the design and helps ensure your home is an authentic reflection of you.

We also understand the anxiety associated with committing to a sales contract before knowing actual costs, which is why we take a highly collaborative approach at the start. This helps us set allowances and budgets that will more accurately reflect your finishes which significantly limits unnecessary surprise costs.

Our Standards

As a third-generation home builder, we envision homes that will be cherished for generations and we adhere to uncompromising building standards. The specifications that sit behind the walls and under the floors are equally important to beautiful finishes and include market leading energy efficiency standards resulting in a lower carbon footprint, and both lower utility and long-term maintenance costs of ownership.

Concept to Completion

Meticulously tailored to the client, we offer the flexibility to either work from one of our existing plans or embark on a project from a blank canvas. We prioritize unwavering collaboration and transparent communication throughout the entire journey.

Complete Home Remodel

Our complete Home Remodel offering mirrors our new construction process, and is the perfect fit for our clients who want to transform a whole home in an established neighborhood.

We understand exploring the possibilities of a new home often includes selling an existing home, finding an ideal future homesite, or finding a diamond in the rough that needs to be made beautiful again. We joined Malfer & Associates, Compass Realty Group to offer the highest level of real estate services for our clients.

Lauren’s partnership with Kristin Malfer and Malfer & Associates is the perfect pairing to give our clients the same exceptional experience across the full spectrum of real estate services as they’ve come to expect with our design + build process.

Together we offer an array of exclusive advantages tailored to maximize your buying and selling power in today’s dynamic market. This includes:

• Current market valuation for an existing home and recommendations for ideal timing to sell in conjunction with our clients’ new home construction schedule;

• Access to properties exclusively sold by our team and Compass Realty Group;
