Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about working with Forsite Studio — an Austin, Texas architecture firm with integrated design-build delivery.

What is design-build?

Forsite Studio is an architecture firm that also delivers construction, so one team handles both the design and the build. Design and budget stay aligned from concept to completion — one point of contact, and fewer gaps where intent gets lost in a handoff to a separate contractor.

Do you work outside Austin?

Forsite Studio is Austin-based and focused on Central Texas. Non-local and concept work has been taken on case-by-case.

What types of projects do you take?

Custom homes, residential renovations, commercial and adaptive-reuse projects, community architecture, and decking and cladding.

Do you do sustainable / LEED design?

Yes. Sustainable, energy-efficient design has been core to the practice since 2007, and the firm holds LEED AP accreditation.

What is the typical process and timeline?

Discovery, then schematic design, design development, permitting, and construction. Timeline depends on scope — a renovation and a ground-up custom home differ significantly.
