Two Paths. One Clear Process.

Whether you want to build your own Horizon Line Guest House or have us handle everything from design through construction, we’ve created a straightforward, supportive process tailored for Arizona.

Path 1 – Owner/Contractor-Build (Horizon Line)

You take the lead using our complete Owner Construction Set. Ideal if you want to save money, stay hands-on, and detailed cost controls.

Path 2 – Full-Service Architecture

We manage the entire process — from initial concept through permitting and construction — for clients who want a turnkey experience.

Horizon Line Owner-Build Process

7 Clear Steps to Your New Arizona Guest House

Discovery Call: We start with a 15-minute conversation to understand your goals, lot, budget, and timeline.

Select Your Configuration: Choose your model, style, finish package, and foundation type (Slab or Stemwall).

Site Review: We review and visit your property to insure feasibility and proper fit.

Receive Your Documents: You get a complete, highly detailed construction document package with every material and product specified.

Permit Support: We guide you through the permitting process and help coordinate any site work or engineering.

Build with Confidence: We guide you through the permitting process and help coordinate any work or engineering. Follow the detailed drawings and worksheets. Many owners hire local crews or subcontractors. The level of detail allows for competitive bids and excellent cost control.

Move In & Enjoy: Welcome to your new Arizona Guest House. Many owners use this experience as the foundation to start their own small construction business and build for neighbors.

Full-Service Architecture Process

For clients who want us to handle everything:

Initial Consultation: We begin with a conversation to understand your vision, goals, budget, timeline, and site.

Programming: We gather information, analyze requirements, and develop a clear project program.

Schematic Design: We explore conceptual design options and present initial ideas. This phase focuses on overall form, layout, and relationship to the site. You’ll provide feedback to help shape the direction.

Design Development: We refine the selected concept in greater detail, including materials, systems, and spatial relationships. This phase bridges creative vision with technical reality.

Construction Documents: We produce detailed drawings and specifications suitable for permitting and construction. These documents communicate the design clearly to contractors and regulatory agencies.

Bidding & Permitting: We assist with the permitting process and help you obtain competitive bids from qualified contractors. We evaluate proposals and support contractor selection.

Construction Administration: iWe remain involved throughout construction to review shop drawings, answer questions, conduct site visits, and help ensure the project is built according to the design intent.
