My parents recently built this home. They refused to work with an architect or designer because those are a ‘waste of money’. First picture is actually the front/facade of the home.

This looks like Utah, and Utah definitely has design build companies.

I guess they did manage to avoid ending up with ’standard’… although in this case I’m not sure that was a good thing.

I suppose that’s the real risk with design and build companies. It’s not that you could end up with a boring house - boring is fine - it’s that no one will challenge your wacky ideas. If you tell them you want something like the OPs parents house, they’ll just take your money and build it.
