Adrienne Whitlow
Owner and design-build lead
Draws the first layouts, signs every contract and walks the finished work with you.
About
A small firm that puts its name on the work
Whitlow Design-Build is eight people who draw, permit and build additions.
Adrienne Whitlow started the firm because she kept meeting homeowners who had paid one company for drawings and another for the build, and who couldn't tell which one was responsible for the gap. Whitlow Design-Build holds both under one contract: the drawings, the permit and the construction.
We stay small on purpose, so the person who walks your lot is the person who draws your plan, and the superintendent who builds it has seen the drawings from the start.

On site
Four rules for your site
One superintendent, every day
The same person, not a rotating cast. He knows what was agreed.
A daily text with photos
You can see the day without being there.
A clean site at day's end
Tools put away, floors swept, the work area closed off.
No change without a signature
A change order, on paper, before the work.
