Stearns Design Build

Stearns Design Build was founded in 1993 with the idea that most families want a high level of quality for their home. To that end we focus on high quality design, offering our own design theory called Transitions, high quality craftsmanship and an equation for value that includes durability as well as utility and maintenance costs. Stearns Design Build is the areas premier Green Building company. Whether you are interested in stepping more lightly on the planet or simply reducing energy cost, Stearns Design Build provides a building science approach to remodeling that insures quality. In College Station and Bryan Texas, Stearns Design Build is a unique company. Of course customer service is vital. As the recipient of multiple customer service awards, Stearns Design Build understand that it is an honor to be invited into a family's home to provide our service. We serve that honor with the highest level of customer service possible. We understand that we must exceed the golden rule, which we do with what we call the platinum rule. That is treat we others as they wish to be treated. Our clients come from a vast array of traditions and lifestyles. It is often not appropriate to treat others in a manner that we are accustomed. We survey all of our clients to better learn how to improve all aspects of our business including customer service. The Transitions theory of design recognizes that the relationship of a building to its environment is crucial to reducing energy costs, but that the most important relationship is that of the people in the building to their natural and community surroundings. Our design perspective takes into account visual and physical transitions beyond the outside walls of a home. Out tag line is "We design and build happiness." Owner and founder Hugh Stearns has a background in psychology. There are many studies that show that people who have connection with the natural environment are happier, better adjusted and healthier. Positioning windows to take advantage of site attributes, creating beautiful screen porches and inviting outside spaces are just a few of the ways that we help create the connections that create happiness. The key to quality craftsmanship is continual learning. Stearns Design Build fosters a learning environment with weekly training for all field personnel. We understand the rapidly evolving science of modern buildings that require much more sophisticated technology. We also appreciate, study and deliver the precision quality of old world craft. Since its inception, Stearns Design Build has been focused on building science and energy efficiency. We built the first net metered solar home in Brazos County. All of our projects, even simple bathroom and kitchen remodels take advantage of this knowledge to reduce the cost of operation.
