Oak Design + Build / Hauser, Idaho
Kitchens, bathrooms, and whole-home renovations. One connected direction for the layout, the materials, and the build.
Stone + Oak Residence / Previous California work
Home Remodeling / Hauser
For a kitchen or bathroom, useful design starts with how the room works: storage, circulation, work areas, lighting, and the relationship to adjacent spaces. For a larger remodel, we consider those rooms within one interior direction. Existing systems and any proposed wall or fixture moves are part of the scope conversation.
Start with the routine, not just the finish palette. Work areas, cabinetry, practical storage, lighting, and fixture placement develop alongside the construction scope.
Look at what stays and what changes across the floor plan. Room connections, daylight, entrances, and systems need a coherent direction before construction begins.
Local planning / Hauser
Hauser asks applicants to distinguish remodeling from new construction and describe the project. For a renovation, list planned wall, fixture, electrical, plumbing, and mechanical changes; the application directs trade-code questions to the State of Idaho.
Provide the physical address and parcel information. Confirm whether the property is inside Hauser before relying on the city application.
The house location, elevations, floor plan, and relevant engineering information need to tell the same story. An attractive exterior concept is not a complete application set.
Identify proposed electrical, plumbing, and mechanical work early. Confirm the relevant state and local reviews for the actual scope instead of assuming one building application covers them all.
Requirements depend on the parcel and scope. Confirm current applications and approvals with the relevant authority; these resources are not a permit determination.
Discover / Envision / Design / Build / Live
Discover → Envision → Design → Build → Live. Each stage makes the next decision clearer.
Begin with a complimentary 20-minute phone call about your home, goals and investment. An in-person site visit helps refine the scope and the proposed Design Contract.
With the Design Contract signed and the retainer in place, we explore layout, function, material direction and preliminary budget. You decide which ideas to advance.
Review the plans, material samples, 3D views and budget with our team and trusted trade partners.
An Oak-built remodel proceeds under a separate allowance-based construction agreement. Your project manager keeps you informed; allowances are tracked and adjustments are approved through signed change orders.
For Oak-built projects, we review the finished work together, address completion details and hand over the updated spaces with information to help you care for them.
Design + construction investment
Design services and construction are separate investments. The Design Contract establishes the design scope and estimated hours. Construction allowances set out finishes, fixtures and other selections line by line, so you can shape decisions around your priorities and budget. For an Oak-built project, the construction agreement defines the scope, costs and approval process. Changes in selections, site conditions or material costs are reviewed and documented through signed change orders. The scope and investment develop around your existing home and agreed brief.
Existing conditions, structural and trade work, and access to occupied rooms are considered as the scope develops. Plans, material samples and 3D views help you understand the design before construction. Your Design Contract defines the agreed services and deliverables.

Questions before you begin
Yes. Oak serves Hauser with kitchen, bathroom, and whole-home remodeling. Share the actual project location, priorities, and investment range so we can discuss project fit and the next step.
Not when the work also changes walls or systems. Describe the actual renovation and identify trade work early. Hauser directs electrical, plumbing, and mechanical code questions to the state; confirm the relevant current reviews.
Yes. A kitchen or bathroom can be the starting point. We consider circulation, lighting, storage, materials, and the connection to adjoining rooms before deciding whether the appropriate scope is focused or comprehensive.
Include the Hauser project address, available photos and drawings, the spaces that need to change, any planned system or exterior work, investment priorities, and hoped-for timing. Missing records can be discussed rather than replaced with guessed dimensions.
Design services and construction are separate investments. Your Design Contract sets out the agreed services, deliverables and estimated hours. Envision begins once the Design Contract is signed and the retainer is in place. A separate allowance-based construction agreement defines the Oak-built remodel. Allowances are tracked and adjustments are approved through signed change orders. Existing conditions, selections and applicable approvals affect pricing and timing; these are established for the actual project.
