Custom Home Builder in Portland, Oregon

Portland is one of the most architecturally diverse cities in the Pacific Northwest — a place where mid-century modern sits next to craftsman bungalows, and design-forward new construction is redefining what a custom home can be. For buyers who want something built to their exact vision, Portland offers an extraordinary range of sites: from hillside lots in the West Hills with skyline views to established neighborhoods like Dunthorpe, Eastmoreland, and Alameda where infill opportunities exist for the right project.

Building in Portland

Building a custom home in Portland means navigating City of Portland permitting, design review processes, and urban lot constraints that differ significantly from suburban or rural builds. Setback requirements, lot coverage limits, and tree preservation codes all shape what's possible on a given site. Our team is experienced with these regulations across multiple Portland neighborhoods and works closely with local architects and engineers to maximize what each lot can deliver.

Portland clients tend to value design intention — they're drawn to contemporary lines, energy-efficient systems, and homes that make a statement without shouting. Whether it's a modern hillside home with walls of glass overlooking the city, or a thoughtfully scaled home on a tight urban lot, the design challenge in Portland is making every square foot count. We bring our design-build process to ensure the vision survives from concept through construction.

Why Build in Portland?

  • Architecturally diverse city with design-forward culture
  • Hillside lots with city, river, and mountain views
  • Established luxury neighborhoods: Dunthorpe, West Hills, Eastmoreland
  • Proximity to dining, culture, and the outdoors
  • Strong resale value for well-designed custom homes

Our Design-Build Process

Every Creekside home follows three phases: Dream, Build, and Thrive. One team owns the design, the construction, and the outcome — from your first meeting through your one-year warranty review.
