For Architects & Designers

We make your designs
buildable.

01 / The Partnership

A builder who respects
the design.

We know what it's like to hand a set of drawings to a builder and watch them get value-engineered into something unrecognizable. That's not how we work.

ClearBuild Texas partners with architects and interior designers who want their work built the way it was designed — with the precision, the materials, and the craft the design demands.

We bring the system. You bring the vision. Together, your clients get the home they hired you to design.

— The design fidelity guarantee

We do not value-engineer your vision.
We execute it with absolute precision.

When a drawing set leaves your studio, it deserves a builder whose incentives are aligned with your intent — not with their margin. Cost-plus makes that alignment structural, not aspirational. Your spec is what gets built. Period.

01

Cost-plus, not value-engineered

We bill on transparent cost-plus, not a fixed margin tied to reducing your spec. Our incentive is alignment, not substitution.

02

Drawings lead, not estimates

Your drawing set is the contract document. If a trade proposes a substitution, it comes to you first — in writing — before it's installed.

03

RFIs answered, not invented

Questions from the field route through one channel, are logged against the drawing set, and are closed with your sign-off. No silent decisions.

04

Punch list to spec

We close out against the drawings, not against memory. If it isn't to the detail, it isn't done.

02 / What You Get

Everything your clients need.
Nothing you don't.

Your Vision, Fully Executed

We don't modify your designs to suit our preferences. We build what you specify — with the trades, the materials, and the precision your work demands.

Seamless Coordination

Our architect communication system keeps you in the loop at every phase. RFIs answered fast. Submittals tracked. No dropped balls between design and field.

Pre-Construction Collaboration

We engage early — during design development — to flag constructability issues before they become field problems. Your clients get fewer surprises.

One Builder. Full Accountability.

Your clients get a single point of contact from groundbreak to keys. No finger-pointing between trades. No communication gaps. Your reputation stays protected.

Transparent Pricing Structure

We work on cost-plus with a disclosed fee and reconciled allowances. Your clients see every trade invoice and every change order — no invisible markups, no budget surprises mid-build.

Technology-Driven Transparency

Real-time client portal. Digital documentation. AI-assisted planning. Your clients can see the build progressing — which means fewer calls to you asking for updates.

Inside the Architect Portal

Your drawings, protected in the field.

RFIs, submittals, revision-tracked drawing sets, and a direct line to site supervision. Your design intent stays intact from sheet to installation.
