We have a HUGE announcement to make. One that we have been waiting to share for a few years now. There will be much more information to come, but we for now...drumroll. 🥁

We officially have a NON PROFIT geared towards middle housing. The Build Forward Foundation has been approved as a non-profit to research and develop beautiful, permanently affordable (sustainable) middle housing, i.e. the housing gap.

We have a million ideas and thoughts that we can’t wait to share with you as we move forward with this. But for now we wanted to let you in on what we’ve been up to. We are so thankful to be able to have this opportunity to serve our community. 🏠

The Build Forward Foundation is a completely separate company than Build Forward Construction, so as always, we are still here to provide beautiful builds as well, whether it’s an exterior update, a full blown remodel, a new build, or anything else in between. 🛠️

Stay tuned for updates on “The Foundation”. We can’t wait to share.
-Javier & Dawn

Thoughtful design helps you stay safe, comfortable, and at home for years to come. It’s not just about aging in place, it’s about creating homes that grow with every generation. From ADUs to flexible floor plans, multigenerational living is on the rise, and smart design makes it work beautifully. Check out our blog post on the multi generational living and aging in place trends! (Link in bio)

🍂🍁Not gonna lie, Fall is a vibe. While we hang on to the last lovely bits of our PNW summer, we’re also dreaming about those beautiful, crisp, autumn days we’re so well known for. (You know, the ones before soggy season).
It’s no secret the Irvington Street Bath is one of our favorite projects, but how much would you love a warm soak in this bath after a chilly October day?
We loved working with these clients and bringing their vision to life. From a cramped tiny upstairs bathroom in a Portland Craftsman, to an at home get away. 🍁🍂

THE VIEW👀. Ok, but it’s not just the view. This home is being built not just to capture this million dollar view of the Tualatin River, it’s being built to utilize an existing dock on the property. We raised it high for the views and then a few quick steps down the path, and 💥boom! Sitting on the dock with toes in the water. Sigh. In love.
This is a great example of a new build from existing plans.
Come along for the ride of building this stunner of a Pacific Northwest dream. 🌳🦆🛶🚣

Transformation Tuesday! Could also count as a Throwback Thursday. But it’s, you know, Tuesday.
Here’s some after & befores (pretty pics first) of a pretty dreamy wet room we did a couple of years ago. Just a stunner!
