Design With Horizon

Design Assist Services

Horizon’s strength in a Design Assist role is to bring team knowledge to the project as early as possible. Establishing a team in the early phases creates long-term project value, exceeding what is possible when a team is formed later during the bid process.

In our experience, establishing a team during project conception allows for more design options and value engineering. This team includes the:

  • Developer

  • Architect

  • Engineers

  • Contractor

  • Property Manager

Waiting until the bid process restricts owner options, allows fewer value-added options, and inhibits substantive cost savings. 

Working with Horizon in a Design Assist capacity will introduce all players to the project early, maximizing project value and reducing the overall project schedule.

 

     

FEATURED PROJECT:
ELLIS POTTER

Ellis Potter Apartments, located in Madison, Wisconsin, will offer 65 affordable apartment homes, thoughtfully divided into two distinct apartment communities: 11 three-bedroom multifamily townhomes and a 54-unit senior (55+) apartment community with shared amenities.

At Ellis Potter, each apartment is designed with comfort, accessibility, and community. Residents will enjoy modern amenities, beautifully maintained grounds, access to nearby services, and public transportation.

In a city where affordable housing is in high demand, Ellis Potter Apartments represents a vital investment in Madison’s future. This development strengthens the community by offering stable, quality housing options for families and seniors and ensures that more people can call Madison home.

Ellis Potter broke ground in June 2025, Horizon is the general contractor and will also be the property management company.
