Design + Build

At Whitehall Building & Company, we can turn a blank slate into your dream custom home.

What is the Design + Build difference?

Whitehall Building brings the scale and efficiency of a production builder together with the flexibility of a custom firm—backed by deep expertise in both waterfront and in-town construction, permitting, and design. It’s luxury without the chaos.

Do I need to hire an architect first?

No, many clients use our design-build approach, where we handle everything from concept to construction. If you already have plans, we can step in to value-engineer them—refining design and budget without compromising your vision.

Can you build on a lot I already own?

Yes. Whether it’s raw land or a teardown, we’re happy to assess your site and guide you through the full build process with a fixed-price contract and clear milestones.

Do you build on waterfront lots, tear-downs, or in-fill sites?

Yes—we often help clients evaluate land or existing homes for teardown in Anne Arundel County and Montgomery County. We can help evaluate whether your site fits your goals.

Can you assess a property and handle permits?

Absolutely. We offer free site assessments and manage the full permitting process in the counties we serve—including the Critical Area review—so you don’t have to navigate complex local regulations alone.

How long does the build take?

Our typical construction timeline is 9 months from permit approval through completion when using our design-build process. Thanks to our structured approach, we maintain tight schedules without sacrificing quality.

What’s the first step?

Just reach out for a free consultation. Whether you’re just starting to explore or ready to build in the Annapolis area or Montgomery County, we’ll meet you where you are.
