From Concept to Keys — We Handle Every Step
Kealee guides you from AI-powered design concepts through professional architecture, permitting, and build. Start with a concept — your fee is credited when you move to the next phase.
Six Steps From Idea to Move-In
Every project flows through these phases. We guide you through each one so you never feel lost.
Tell Us About Your Project
Describe your vision — renovation, addition, or new build. Select your preferred style, rooms, and budget range.
AI Designs Your Concepts
Our AI generates floor plans, 3D renders, and cost estimates. You get 5 rounds of revisions, then pick from 3 final options.
Meet Your Designer
After you approve a concept, you meet with a designer for any minor additions or cleanup before the handoff to a licensed architect.
Architect Develops Your Plans
A licensed architect is assigned within 48 hours. They develop your approved concept into permit-ready drawings. Your concept fee is credited.
Permits & Approvals
Once plans are complete, we handle all permit applications, plan review, corrections, and inspection coordination through approval.
Build with Confidence
Vetted contractors bid on your project. Your PM coordinates everything. Escrow protects every payment. You approve each milestone.
