About Commonwealth Home Design in Vienna, VA

Combining the expertise of a registered architect, the precision of an engineer and a 35+ year, award-winning history serving the residents of Northern Virginia, Commonwealth Home Design is your design/build partner for transforming the ordinary into the exquisite.

What Makes Us Different

We integrate various disciplines in-house at Commonwealth Home Design. This gives us tight control over timelines and processes that many companies relying solely on sub-contractors, don’t have. This allows us to respond quickly and effectively to any situation that may occur during design and construction.

Commonwealth is not only owned by a registered architect with over 30 years experience, it also employs architectural staff as project managers. We’ve had expert kitchen and bath designers on our in-house team for decades. This allows us to seamlessly incorporate kitchen and bath design, built-ins, fireplace designs, and interior design into any project.

Many clients ask us the very important question about whether our construction personnel are on-staff or subcontractors. This question stems from a valid concern about unknown and untested entities ending up on their project. All project supervision is handled by members of our in-house team with qualified sub-contractors providing services in areas such as electrical and HVAC installation. We’ve developed long-term relationships with our subs to ensure they fully understand our design aesthetic and approach.

Our clients appreciate that we are:

  • Diligent designers and craftsmen
  • Process-oriented
  • Attentive to detail
  • Focused on quality control
  • Expectation managers
  • Committed to enduring relationships

Our established, in-house design/construction team has created a tested delivery process that helps prevent schedule delays and budget overruns. This collaborative approach begins with a client’s vision and brings together architects, specialized designers, field craftsmen, and a supporting back-office staff, to deliver extraordinary designs in the most efficient method possible.

One Point of Contact

When it comes time for construction, our clients value having one point of contact, a project manager, throughout the duration of the process. Commonwealth project managers are onsite all day/every day, managing subcontractors, monitoring the budget and ensuring expectations are met. A project journal is maintained daily to communicate relevant, real-time information. This communication tool does more than just keep you informed; it proactively preserves the project schedule and design integrity and most importantly, manages the unexpected.
