Consulting Services

We have years of successful experience working with neighborhoods, community development groups, and political entities in developing appropriate home sizes and styles for a specific area. Whether you’d like to utilize our existing homes, create a new series of homes or even a new neighborhood, let us know how we can help with public meetings, focus groups, presentations, or even site planning.

Community Development and Land Planning

Cooke Street

Entire collections of TightLines homes are available for developers to create economically balanced communities with a consistent architectural style. Our designs can be modified to suit the specific look, feel, and needs of a community. Our experience goes beyond single-family home design to providing consulting services to developers needing assistance with community development and conservation land planning.
