Some homes carry more than square footage. They carry memories, continuity, and a sense of who came before.⁠
⁠
The Haverford Heritage House is a 1930s Colonial Revival on the Main Line — thoughtfully expanded by 1,700 square feet and reimagined for the way a family lives today, while honoring everything that made it worth preserving in the first place.⁠
⁠
Our clients are the second generation to make this house a home, and now it’s ready for their family’s next chapter. This is Part 1 of 3. The full reveal unfolds over the next two weeks.⁠

On May 12, we hosted something a little different. ⁠
⁠
We invited architects, interior designers, and trusted design partners to sit down with our estimating team for a transparent conversation about construction pricing. How estimates are built. Why bids can look so different from builder to builder. What’s driving costs in today’s market and why those pressures aren’t going away anytime soon.⁠
⁠
Sound familiar? These are the same questions design partners hear from their clients every day. And they deserve better tools to answer them.⁠
⁠
We’re turning that conversation into something ongoing. Say hello to The Cost of Building, a newsletter covering construction pricing, estimation, case studies, and the decisions that actually shape a project budget.⁠

We’re honored to be named a 2026 Best Place to Work. 🏆⁠
⁠
What makes this recognition special: it’s based entirely on employee feedback. No panel of judges. No application checklist. Just the honest voices of the people who show up here every day.⁠
⁠
Culture isn’t something leadership creates alone. It’s built collectively, through the way people support one another, care for clients, and contribute to something bigger than any single project. This award belongs to every person on the team.⁠

Ernst’s Managing Partner Jake Taylor put into words how much this recognition means to him. Read his blog post at the link in our bio.

POV: the exterior glow-up begins 👀

After months of transformation inside, the exterior at our Chestnut Hill Classic project is having its moment.

After the weather broke this spring, the exterior renovation began with the landscape being completely reimagined to match the home. New hardscaping, a refreshed pool area, and a new back deck are all taking shape as we head into the final stretch.

This is the part of the process where it all starts to feel real. Summer dinners, pool days, and the kind of everyday moments thoughtful renovation makes possible.

Final completion is just around the corner, just in time for summer fun. ☀️😎

A steel beam is often the key that unlocks an open concept space.

Our Principal Project Manager explains how we lifted this massive steel beam in place to support a heavy load and open up a new kitchen and dining space for a young family.

We were honored to support the through this year’s tour. Our wonderful clients graciously opened their home, and more than 300 attendees got a first-hand look at this incredible renovation project. ⁠
⁠
This iconic Main Line stone home was originally built in 1926, but when our clients took over the property in 2019 they wanted to make it their own. Installing a 27-foot beam to remove an obtrusive column in the kitchen was a highlight, allowing for an open concept that’s perfect for large family gatherings.⁠

Before → almost after.

This was the final week before move-in at our Chestnut Hill Classic project, and the transformation is fully taking shape.

Swipe-style transitions like this show the big moments, but what you’re really seeing is months of planning, coordination, and steady progress coming together. New layouts. Refined details. Spaces that finally function the way they were meant to.

We’re still in it here. Punch list items being wrapped up, final touches going in, the last details getting the attention they deserve.

Not quite the final reveal… but close enough to feel it.

After months of progress, our Chestnut Hill Classic project is nearing the finish line.

Inside, we hustled to wrap up the final details before our clients moved back in. Wallpaper went up, lighting was installed, and we’re diligently working through every last item on the punch list.

Outside, our work continues as he backyard is being reshaped with new hardscaping, a reimagined pool area, and an outdoor kitchen that will make this home the place to be this summer.

“Your windows are crying.”

And no, that’s not normal.

Those streaks you’re seeing? It’s water getting trapped behind the stucco and trying to find a way out. We see it all the time in homes built 20 or 30 years ago, where the installation details were overlooked.

This isn’t just cosmetic. It’s a warning sign.

👉 Follow for more of Joe’s tips on what to look for and how to build it right the first time.

Some of the most meaningful work in a renovation is never going to be seen in the finished product.
⁠
Before finishes and furnishings, there are moments like this. Hands setting and aligning each piece of material with care. No shortcuts. No guesswork. Just experience, patience, and pride in the process.⁠
⁠
This flue will eventually serve a double-sided fireplace, a place for gathering, slowing down, and creating memories. But its performance and longevity are determined here, in the handcrafted details.⁠
⁠
We believe true craftsmanship lives in these moments. Because a well-built home isn’t just beautiful. It’s built to last.⁠
⁠
Follow along as our Villanova Tudor Revival project continues to take shape (psst… more videos coming soon).⁠ 😉
