MLC is a fantastic team and delivered an amazing unit.

MLC is a fantastic team and delivered an amazing unit. From sales to design - all the way through construction - we felt as though we had a dedicated and talented group that was always working to make the unit the best it could be. They accommodated all of our design/layout changes without any issue. Their attention to detail meant the final product exceeded our very high initial expectations. We’re truly enjoying our amazing new guest house. Thank you MLC!

Our experience was first-rate all the way through.

My project started at the beginning of the Pandemic in the start-up phase of the construction company, then called Den Arizona. The company ownership has changed & is now MLC. Our experience was first-rate all the way through.

They were super responsive when I had questions.

They were super responsive when I had questions.

They were super responsive when I had questions, made time to meet with regularly to discuss updates, sent frequent emails outlining schedules and upcoming work and were willing to shift gears when we needed to. The final product is incredible. Built from the foundation up on site, the quality is fantastic, everyone who's seen it is so impressed and I can't wait to host friends, family, and the occasional renter in this space. The owners and contractors are also very generous with recommending landscapers and other specialty tradespeople they work with which was also so appreciated. Highly recommend this company.

What an exciting journey we went on with MLC!

What an exciting journey we went on with MLC!! If you are looking to build in your yard or even on a piece of land, contact this company. They handle everything starting with feasibility study and permitting to the finishing touches. There was great communication throughout the entire process. We now have a gorgeous and perfectly sized place for my brother in law to live in the where he can be with us and still have his independence.

Minimal Living Concepts is a fabulous company to work with.

Minimal Living Concepts is a fabulous company to work with. They just finished constructing our Flex unit and it turned out beautifully. Their team (from sales, to architecture, to project management) is a pleasure to work with and addressed all of our needs/concerns throughout the project as quickly and thoroughly as possible. They handle every aspect of the build, including permitting and inspections with the city, so that you, as the client, do not have to deal with all of those hassles. And finally, their product offerings are beautiful, functional and a great way to add some square footage and value to your property. Highly recommend them if you are looking to build an ADU! Thanks guys!

The Typical Building Process

The ol' fashioned way.

Find an architect

An architect designs your home without discussions with engineers, builders and interior designers. You can’t walk through the home design and experience the layout, proportions of the spaces and quality of the fixtures and fittings.

Hope the design is buildable

An architect designs your home without discussions with engineers, builders and interior designers. You can’t walk through the home design and experience the layout, proportions of the spaces and quality of the fixtures and fittings.

Engineering

The engineer designs the structural systems of the house without any consultations with the contracting builder. They may find costly structural issues with the plan which needs to go back to the architect for alterations, adding to the client’s overall costs.

Collect quotes

The client is happy with the design but at this stage won’t know the true costs of the build or whether it’s on budget until they quote it out to different builders. Often quotes come back with varying degrees of build quality, assumptions, and unknown estimates that don't reflect the real cost of construction.

Quote and fees

It’s up to the client to determine which builder quotes will deliver the best final outcome for them. Throughout the whole process, the architect’s fees are paid as each stage is completed with many architects charging around 6%-18% of your final build costs.

Variable pricing

Because the design team are separate from the construction team, unexpected issues can arise which may add to the build cost. Materials, fittings and features often have to be custom-made to the architect’s and engineer’s specifications, therefore adding to the overall build cost.

Change orders

Because the builder was not involved in the design process and doesn't have a complete understanding of the project, it is very likely that you will experience several cost escalation change orders. The worst part is, the builder profits on these price increases that should have been predicted at the project start.

Our Method

Creating a seamless path to new construction.

Experts working together

Our design and construction team work together on each home design. Our architect, interior designer, engineer and builder collaborate to devise solutions that don’t compromise the style or functionality of the home. This all occurs before a design ever lands on our website.

Curated and custom designs

With MLC, you can choose from a range of meticulously crafted home designs or work with our design team to, alter those designs or create a bespoke design tailored to your unique needs and lifestyle.

Holistic design and build solution

Our streamlined approach saves you time and cost while providing one dedicated team for every aspect of your project. The construction costs are a key consideration throughout the design process for peace of mind, efficiency and certainty.

Transparent pricing

For our pre-designed homes, inclusions and costs are finalised before you commit to building your home. There are no hidden or additional costs due to design revisions once your contract is signed. If an unforeseen condition occurs, we never profit on it. This way our incentives align with you.

Design a bespoke home

Our ‘Bespoke Option’ involves personalised brief-development sessions with our architect and sales teams to fully understand your design parameters. New plans and 3D model elevations and site locality plans will be developed following your brief and in collaboration with our team.
