One team for architecture and construction — high-performance custom homes and remodels, planned to your budget from the first sketch and built to last across the western Twin Cities.
A design-build firm where your architect and your builder are the same team.
ACE Design Build designs and constructs custom homes and major remodels in Delano and across the western Twin Cities metro. Because design and build live under one roof, your plan is written to your actual budget from day one — no handoff gap between the architect's drawings and the crew that builds them.
We build to perform. Led by a PHIUS-certified architect and builder, ACE pairs timeless design with high-performance building science — airtight, all-electric, energy-efficient homes that are quieter, healthier, and cheaper to run. Build better, to live better.
From a new custom home to a single-room renovation, every project runs through the same integrated team — designed, permitted, and built by ACE.
New custom homes designed and self-performed by ACE, from concept and site planning through final finishes — engineered to your vision and your budget.

Espresso-stained cabinetry, a full-height quartz waterfall island, and a marble-look backsplash anchor the space, while custom interior millwork — pull-out spice and knife storage fitted to the inch — does the quiet work. The main level opens to a linear fireplace and a wall of windows facing the yard.
Design and construction sit at the same table. No miscommunication, no scope disputes, no surprises when the bids come back.
A PHIUS-certified architect and builder bring high-performance building science to every project — airtight, all-electric, and efficient.
ACE handles structural and finish work in-house, closing the coordination gaps that cost time and money on builds split across firms.
Based in Delano and serving Plymouth, Minnetonka, Wayzata, Maple Grove, and the surrounding communities we know well.
