One entity holds the architecture license and the developer role.
We control the project from site selection to certificate of occupancy: capturing the full value stack for our LP partners. Design decisions serve the build; build systems serve the design; the outcome serves the investor.
Three routes into a deal: and other opportunities we'll shape around the right fit.
Sole Developer
We source the deal and secure all outside capital ourselves, construction financing and third-party LP equity, retaining the full developer promote.
Joint Venture
Partnered with another developer: contributing personal equity, a land position, or Nonstandard Build System IP as our stake in the deal.
Custom Homeowner
A homeowner funds their own custom home directly, engaging Nonstandard as architect and developer of record through their broker.
These are our most common structures, and other investment opportunities are always worth a conversation: we'll shape the right route around your site, capital, and goals.
Every dollar of margin that normally leaves the deal, stays in it.
A conventional project pays separate parties for architecture, development, and construction. We hold the first two roles directly and capture meaningful construction savings by running our own proprietary build systems: work still built by a licensed general contractor, with labor and schedule efficiencies flowing back to the deal instead of a middleman.

Unique systems, engineered to work together: or stand alone.
The Nonstandard Build System is a curated set of structural, envelope, mechanical, and finish systems from best-in-class manufacturers. Any one can be specified independently. Coordinated as a set, they become the proprietary Nonstandard Build System: lower hard cost, a compressed schedule, and a build quality that conventional construction can't match.
Multiple systems make up the Nonstandard Build System, structural, envelope, mechanical, finish, and more, visible once you have signed in.

Design and permitting take roughly the same time no matter who builds. The gap opens once ground breaks: where a prefabricated structural chassis, panelized envelope, and factory-complete MEP replace months of sequential field trades with a print-and-assemble sequence.
Illustrative only: rough, directional estimates for a typical South Florida single-family scope. Actual schedule varies by design complexity, permitting jurisdiction, site conditions, and system selection.
“Are you design-build?” Yes.
One entity designs what it builds and builds what it designs. Prefabrication is how we deliver custom work with the two things site-built custom can never promise: repeatability and quality control. That is the competitive advantage.
Custom, with repeatability
Factory-produced components make a one-off house buildable the same way twice: dimensional precision and documented tolerances instead of field improvisation.
Quality control & systems integration
Structure, envelope, and MEP are engineered as one stack: quality checked at the plant, interfaces resolved in design, before ground ever breaks.
Sustainability & resiliency
Passive-home envelope performance, healthy materials, energy efficiency, and storm resiliency are built into the chassis: not value-engineered in later.
Value identification
Because we hold design, development, and the build system, we can trace exactly where each dollar creates value: and spend only where the market pays.
We weigh the pros and cons candidly: prefab asks for design decisions to lock earlier and rewards disciplined coordination up front. We treat those constraints as the discipline that protects budget and schedule.
Our first ground-up development, now raising pre-development capital.
Oak Residence is in pre-development: drawings, budget, and financing are in development ahead of entitlements and groundbreaking. It's planned to be the first deployment of the Nonstandard Build System end to end, approved for Miami-Dade's high-velocity hurricane zone. We're raising the LP equity to carry it through design completion and groundbreaking. It's the first of several deals in our pipeline: reach out to discuss Oak Residence or other opportunities we're currently structuring.
