Design and build
Designed with you. Built as drawn.

We build homes, not just drawings. Our work is defined by getting the numbers right and a deep respect for how families actually live.
Six years in the Air Force on flight-control systems. Eight years in pharmaceutical metrology. McGill & Co. is the third version of that discipline, applied to the homes people actually live in. Every project starts from how the family uses the space, not from a floor plan already drawn.

Drawn First. Built Second.
Before materials or measurements, we start with a conversation about how you live. Then every room is drawn and rendered in full light, priced in writing, and built like the drawing.
