At the start of every project, Jordan and Annie imagine the house being filled with laughter and loved ones, even if they haven't met the owner yet. Their goal is to bring the future homeowners' dreams to life, creating a space that perfectly fits their needs and lifestyle.
They design and build with a particular person in mind, striving for perfection in every home. Attention to detail is unmatched, ensuring that every aspect of the home serves a purpose while still being visually stunning.
Jordan handles the architecture and construction while Annie creates the design, and their partnership creates a healthy cohesion of their passions that produces exceptional results. Their individual strengths complement each other to form a strong team that delivers exceptionally stunning end projects for each customer regardless of project size and budget.
At Forge & Bow Dwellings, we use our award-winning, magazine-featured, Design & Build process to give our clients outstanding value. If you're looking for a team that can turn your dream home into a reality, look no further than Forge & Bow Dwellings.
Once a Design Contract has been signed our team gets to work gathering existing site information which will aid us in preparing for your new build or renovation. We will research the feasibility and challenges ahead of time to mitigate delays during Design Development. We will create as-built drawings at this time and produce our initial conceptual drawings. Our Design Team will study your inspirations and develop a mood board. This mood board will bring focus to our design scheme; road mapping materials, finish preferences and a color pallet. With a concept in place, we will meet with our Rough Trade Partners to gain initial pricing, delivering a 10% project budget range. Following approval on the budget and concept, we move into the next phase.
With an approved floor plan and budget range, we will send the project to an Engineer for permit-ready structural plans. Now, the Design team is in full force. Selecting all fixtures, surfaces, details and finishes. In wrangling all of the design details, this can be one of our longest project phases. We will tender and bid out all remaining labor and materials to narrow down a more accurate cost for your new build or renovation. Lastly, the grand finale – the presentation, where every detail gets approved. Once that is done, we will compile your construction agreement and prep the build schedule.
Our Production Team will pull the necessary permits and begin construction building your dream home! From site set up through the final punch list, Forge & Bow Dwellings will handle all the ordering, scheduling, supervision and quality control. Every detail is overseen by on-staff team members to ensure the quality meets our standards and the design is executed flawlessly. When construction is complete, we thoroughly clean the project site (including dusting, sweeping and remove any lingering construction debris). At the final walk-thru, we will provide you with your personal ‘Renovation Handbook’ which includes your selected items, any change orders you requested along the way, care instructions, contact information for subcontractors, and warranty information for your project.
Annie and Jordan Obermann have been renovating homes in Northern Colorado for 15 years. They started with basic remodels, a love of design, and a commitment to great craftsmanship, which led to the founding of Forge & Bow Dwellings in 2016. Forge & Bow focuses on creating dream homes, not just renovating or building them. Annie and Jordan appreciate each project's significance and ensure that every space is unique and inspirational, thanks to their expertise and commitment. Creative vision and efficient execution merge in their streamlined Design & Build process.
