High performance homes are built for life. Your Life.

Welcome to Renew Design & Build. We're a small, Durham-based design and build firm that's setting the standard for high-performance, passive home building in the Greater Triangle area.

Inspired by Passive Home Building
& Informed by Building Science

Breaking ground on a new home is almost as exciting for us as it is for you! Together, we can plan and build for life. This means incorporating the latest building science, international regulation standards, and the best Phius and Energy Star methods.

With this as our foundation, we bring expert craftsmanship to all construction details, including:

Modern or traditional designs

Procurement of innovative and sustainable materials, like reclaimed and responsibly grown materials

Incorporate your lifestyle and home flow, and more

There are so many reasons to renovate instead of build.

Better option for your budget--even with our minimum project size, remodeling can be an affordable option, especially when you factor in energy cost savings over time.

Increase the value of your home.

We also offer design consulting services for the Design phase of your project. We have many clients take advantage of this option before or while they budget for a large project. We pool the expertise of our team and our most valued engineering and architectural partners to give you a holistic plan.

Design services include preliminary drawings, budget estimates, materials recommendations, energy efficiency goals, and even site selection assistance.

Good planning documents actually help you be more flexible in your project. You'll have deep knowledge of options, so you can make better decisions later.
