Don’t See What You’re Looking For? We Create Custom House Plans Too
Pre-designed floor plans offer speed and cost savings for straightforward projects—but they're built around assumptions about a generic lot, a generic family, and a generic lifestyle. A custom house plan is built around you.
When your property has unique dimensions, challenging topography, specific setback requirements, or exceptional views worth capturing, a custom design isn't a luxury—it's the only way to truly maximize your property's potential. When your family has specific needs—multigenerational living, work-from-home requirements, accessibility features, or a lifestyle that doesn't fit neatly into standard floor plan configurations—a custom house plan delivers what pre-designed alternatives simply cannot.
Custom house design allows you to:
-
Optimize your specific lot configuration and maximize buildable area
-
Capture views, natural light, and outdoor connections unique to your property
-
Design for your family's specific lifestyle, workflow, and daily routines
-
Incorporate specialized spaces like home offices, studios, gyms, or multigenerational suites
-
Choose an architectural style that complements your neighborhood
-
Select every finish, material, and detail from the ground up
-
Ensure full compliance with local zoning, setback, and height restrictions
The result is a home that couldn't exist anywhere else—because it was designed specifically for your property, your family, and your vision.

Transparent Pricing and Clear Communication
We believe you deserve clear, honest pricing without hidden costs or surprise expenses.

What’s Included in Your Quote

Understanding Potential Additional Costs
While our quotes are comprehensive, certain site-specific conditions may require additional investment.

Site-Built Quality vs. Prefab Limitations
Zee Design & Build specializes in site-built custom houses throughout Lake Stevens, Snohomish, Monroe, Arlington, Stanwood and Mount Vernon—and there are important reasons why we've chosen this approach.
True Customization for Your Property
Site-built construction allows us to adapt every design decision to your specific lot. We adjust dimensions to maximize buildable space within setback requirements, position windows for optimal light and views, relocate doors to improve flow, modify layouts to accommodate existing utilities or landscape features, and adjust ceiling heights and roof pitches to comply with local restrictions while maximizing interior volume.
Seamless Architectural Integration
A site-built custom house can be designed to complement your neighborhood's architectural character perfectly. Matching exterior materials, rooflines, window styles, trim details, and color schemes create cohesive property aesthetics that enhance curb appeal and long-term value.
Superior Construction Quality
Foundations are engineered specifically for your soil conditions. Framing meets or exceeds local code requirements. Material selections aren't limited by transportation constraints—we use the best materials for each application. Quality control happens throughout construction with regular inspections, not just factory certifications.
No Transportation Limitations
Site-built custom houses avoid the dimensional restrictions imposed by highway transportation—no limits on width, height, or length. This freedom allows for more spacious rooms, higher ceilings, larger windows, and layouts that feel like genuine homes rather than modified manufactured units.
Better Long-Term Value
Site-built custom houses typically appraise at higher values than prefab alternatives because they are considered permanent structures with quality construction. This higher valuation provides better return on investment whether you're refinancing, selling, or simply building equity.
Flexibility During Construction
Site-built construction allows for modifications during the building process if you want to refine finishes, discover opportunities for improvements, or adapt to unexpected site conditions. This flexibility is simply not possible with prefab units manufactured off-site to fixed specifications.
The Zee Design & Build Difference
Since 2012, our Kirkland-based custom house specialists have been perfecting the art of residential design and construction throughout the Pacific Northwest. We're not just architects—we're property value maximization experts, zoning navigation specialists, and custom home vision executors. When opportunities arise to elevate your custom house beyond basic requirements—through energy-efficient systems, premium architectural detailing, or inspired material selections—our experience helps us create homes that exceed every expectation.
Our commitment goes beyond providing plans. We believe your custom house should provide decades of satisfaction, reliable value, and a living environment that grows with your family. That's why we manage everything from initial property assessment through final permitting and construction coordination, maintaining clear communication at every step. You'll always know what's happening, what comes next, and when you'll be enjoying the home you've envisioned.
Every member of our custom house team takes personal pride in the designs we create. The architect envisions your property's full potential being realized through thoughtful design. The permitting specialist knows their expertise will smooth the approval process and save you months of frustration. The construction manager is committed to delivering your vision with precision and craftsmanship. This dedication shows in every completed custom house we deliver.

What Our Clients Say
"After moving from California, my husband and I bought a 1964 rambler. it looked like it hadn't seen any love or attention since the day it was built! Erik and his crew gutted the entire house and, from start to finish, ALL was done in around 4 months. We are thrilled with the outcome!"
- - - -
My daughter recommended Erik to my husband and i, and he did a full kitchen remodel for us. Our house was built in 1999, and we were looking to do new cabinets. We met with Erik and were so impressed by his visions and experience that we decided to instead do a full kitchen remodel. Erik and his team did new cabinets, appliances, countertops, trim...AND an island with cooktop and seating. Erik was extremely friendly, communicative and organized. We definitely plan on working with him again for future projects!"
- - - -
"I used Erik's company to finish renovations on our property of 380 apartments. Not only was he very professional, but the speed and quality and scheduling of each unit was done with precision and created great results. I would without hesitation use Erik's company again."
