Rethink your home building experience.
We provide strategic advisory services to individuals and families undertaking the design and construction of custom homes. Our clients seek experienced, objective counsel to support decision-making at key inflection points — from land acquisition and builder selection to contract structuring, plan optimization, and construction oversight. We work with a diverse range of buyers, including those building semi-custom homes with national home builders, fully custom residences with regional builders, and bespoke estates with prestigious luxury firms. All of our services are offered individually and billed on a project basis, ensuring each client receives tailored insight and clarity—while maintaining the flexibility to engage our expertise exactly when and where it’s needed.
About Maison
Welcome to Maison Custom Home Advisory, your strategic partner throughout the purchase, design and construction processes. We offer a la carte services that align with the specific needs of each engagement. Our support can begin prior to land acquisition or be retained at any later point in the development process.
Our team boasts significant construction, legal, and finance experience. We do not replace architects, builders, legal counsel, or owner’s representatives. Instead, we offer independent, discreet guidance that helps protect time, capital, and vision across each stage of the project lifecycle. We believe each client is unique, and should enjoy the home building experience.
