The Olive Wood Experience™
A thoughtful journey from vision to welcome home — five phases designed to make building your backyard home as beautiful as the finished space.
We start by listening.
Every project begins with a $150 Property Consultation — an on-site visit where we learn about your property, your goals, and your vision. We discuss how you intend to use the space, evaluate placement options, review the Olive Collection floor plans, and answer your questions. The consultation fee is credited toward your project when you move forward.
Site visit · Property assessment · Goal alignment · Budget conversation
We translate your ideas into a design direction.
Based on our discovery conversation, we develop a design direction that captures the feeling, function, and aesthetic of your future backyard home. We present floor plan options, exterior concepts, and a curated finish collection — giving you a clear, beautiful picture of what we'll build together.

We handle the details so you don't have to.
Once the design is approved, we manage the planning and permitting process — navigating North Carolina ADU regulations, coordinating with your municipality, and preparing all necessary documentation. We keep you informed at every step without burdening you with the complexity.
Permit applications · Regulatory compliance · Construction documentation · Contractor coordination
We stay with you through every phase of the build.
We coordinate directly with your builder to ensure the design intent is executed with precision. From material deliveries to finish installations, we serve as your dedicated design advocate — catching issues before they become problems and keeping the project on schedule.
Builder coordination · Site visits · Quality review · Finish installation oversight
The moment it all comes together.
We conduct a final walkthrough to ensure every detail meets our standards and yours. We provide you with a complete documentation package — warranties, care guides, and finish specifications — so you can enjoy your new backyard home with complete confidence.
