STEP 4
PERMITTING & ENGINEERING
If the location and scope of your project warrant it, we may conduct a secondary site visit (under an additional contract). At this point we gather data for digitally modeling your site so our architects can partner with structural engineers to generate a comprehensive set of architectural drawings and assist you in obtaining required building permits.
Please note: Your jurisdiction may require building permits. Permitting costs are similar to those of typical residential construction.
Please review our FAQ on permitting to learn a little more.

BUILDING THE TOWER
We oversee your build from prefabrication in our North Carolina shop to shipment of prefabricated components to onsite completion. Our carpenters excel at their craft, building artful and durable towers.
We pride ourselves on leading a joyful, safe, and seamless build experience, believing that enjoying the process of building your lookout tower is as fundamental to its magic as delighting in being in the completed structure.
Our crew uses the highest-quality hardware and tried-and-tested techniques to foster the longevity of both the surrounding environment and the tower. As necessary, we hire subcontractors for additional services, including insulation, roofing, plumbing, and electrical. We base the construction portion of our services on a fixed-bid contract to control costs.
Please note: We do not manage any road construction or installation of utilities on your property. If utilities are part of your vision for your tower, all necessary infrastructure (e.g., septic system, water service, electrical service) must be present and accessible on the site of the tower prior to construction. Once the utilities infrastructure is established, we will oversee the installation of these amenities within the structure.

Designer Towers & Custom Estate Homes
In 2015, we recognized that more and more people consider downsizing to a tiny home the opportune way to embrace a fuller, more simplistic lifestyle. To answer this need, we began prototyping and building tiny home floor plans . We extensively researched building codes, tested for durability and sustainability and developed a luxurious, world-class line of small Timber-frame homes fashioned with quality materials and specialty brands. The result is the Designer Towers.
