Luxury Custom Home Builder in McLean, Vienna & Northern Virginia
For more than 35 years, AR Design Group has built luxury custom homes across McLean, Vienna, and Northern Virginia — designed around how you live, not around a template. One team. One process. Zero guesswork.
Your build, step by step
At AR Design Group, we manage every phase of your project under one roof — from design and material selection to permitting, construction, and final walkthrough. This integrated approach eliminates the friction of separate architects and contractors, giving you a single point of accountability.
Initial Consultation
We listen before we draw. We learn your vision, priorities, and budget before a single plan takes shape.
Lot Review & Site Evaluation
We assess zoning, soil, setbacks, and utilities so there are no costly surprises after you’ve signed.
Custom Design Development
Your floor plan, exterior, and interior selections are built around your lifestyle, not a template.
Pricing, Scope & Contract
A detailed, transparent proposal before we break ground. No vague estimates, hidden costs, or surprises.
Permits & Approvals
We handle local filings, inspection schedules, and municipality coordination on your behalf.
Construction
Dedicated project managers, daily oversight, and clear communication keep your project moving forward.
Final Walkthrough & Move-In
A thorough inspection, punch-list completion, and key handover bring your custom home to life.
From First Sketch to Final Key
Our team stays with you through every phase, so your vision never gets lost between design, planning, and construction.
Thinking about buying a lot? Read this first.
The right lot makes everything easier. The wrong one can add tens of thousands to your budget — or limit what you can build. With 35+ years of land acquisition experience in McLean and Vienna, we can walk your lot before you commit.
- What zoning rules apply — and do they cap your home’s size or style?
- Is the lot connected to public sewer, water, and gas, or will you fund those connections?
- If public sewer isn’t available, does the soil support a septic system?
- Are there easements that restrict how portions of the land can be used?
- What are the setback requirements — and how much of the lot is actually buildable?
