Fayetteville, Arkansas
Process cleared by a state architecture board. The precedent is set.
Process reviewed and approved by the Arkansas state board. 20+ plans curated from our catalog for Fayetteville's downtown and Walker Park neighborhoods, selected to match existing architectural styles. Residents input their address and see only the plans that match their lot's zoning.
We're working to make housing simpler without compromising on quality. Faster doesn't mean lower quality; it means removing barriers for people who want to live here.
