Farmington, Utah

Walk your Farmington plan first.

Farmington is growing around Station Park while keeping its established core, so it is part new construction and part infill. Whether you are building new or reworking an older home, walk the plan at full scale first.

New growth, established roots.

Farmington has grown fast around Station Park while holding onto its historic core, so projects here run the range: new homes on fresh lots, additions and remodels in the older neighborhoods. Either way, walking the plan at full scale shows how it lives before you build.

What that means for a Farmington build.

Farmington has an old core and a lot of newer growth around it, much of that development sitting closer to the transit and retail on the west side of the city. The two halves build very differently.

In the newer neighbourhoods, lots are typically narrower than the ones the plan books were drawn for, and narrow-lot plans solve that by going up and by pushing circulation to one side. That produces two things worth checking in person: the stairs, which become the busiest part of the house, and the side-lit rooms, which get less daylight than the rendering suggests.

In the older parts of the city you are usually remodelling or adding, and the question is how the new work meets the existing house — floor levels, ceiling heights, and whether the addition reads as part of the home or bolted to it.

Where you walk your Farmington plan.

There is no studio in Farmington, and you do not need one. Our Ogden studio is being built, about 20 minutes from Farmington once it opens. Until then you walk your Farmington plan at the Orem studio.

  • 02 How an addition connects to an older Farmington home.
  • 03 Whether the remodel solves the flow or just moves it.
  • 04 Room sizes on a tight or established lot.

Catching this on paper is the difference between a clean build and an expensive surprise.

What a walk saves a Farmington project.

80%

fewer change orders, on average.

Up to 40%

construction cost saved through value engineering.

Why the numbers move

A problem caught on the studio floor is a line on a PDF. The same problem caught on site is a change order.

Sessions run before the plans are stamped, while a fix is still a drawing revision.

Farmington questions.

Is there a studio in Farmington?

No, and the Ogden studio that will serve Farmington is still under construction. Until it opens, Farmington plans are walked at our Orem studio.

Where do I walk my plan today?

At the Orem studio, 352 Gold Tip Drive, Orem. When the Ogden studio opens it will be about 20 minutes from Farmington.

Does this work for my project?

Yes. Whether you are building new or reworking an existing home, walking the plan at full scale is most useful before anything is locked.

Can I walk options before I pick them?

Yes. Seeing optional walls, bumpouts, and upgrades at true size is the point. You choose with clarity, not guesswork.

What should I bring?

Your plan in any format, and anyone who will live there.
