About McLaughlin Design & Construction LLC
McLaughlin Design & Construction LLC, led by Breff McLaughlin, is a business that specializes in designing and building upscale homes, as well as offering design services for Portland/Vancouver and beyond. They are known for their unique and innovative approaches, as seen in the construction of a house that stands out even in an upscale community, and the successful handling of a unique situation involving a different type of house design. Their practice spans from drafting and 3D architectural design to general contracting and construction. They take a collaborative approach, focusing on the client's desires and how they will ultimately use their new space. They value both the beauty of form and the harmony of function, with a keen eye for even the smallest details. One satisfied client hired McLaughlin to take over a dissatisfying project from another architect, and they quickly developed a vision that exceeded the client's expectations. McLaughlin's deep experience and knowledge of construction were instrumental in finding cost-effective approaches to modernize a dated 1980s home into a cutting-edge architectural design. Their process of taking ideas into a 3D space leaves almost nothing to chance and keeps changes more affordable during this phase, as opposed to making changes during actual construction. Communication with the client is described as fun and easy, with the end result leaving clients extremely happy and unable to imagine a better outcome on their own.
McLaughlin Design and Construction (MDC) designed and built for us a new home of 2150 square feet, with attached fully-finished garage in the rural part of White Salmon, Washington. We broke ground 28-Aug-23, moved in 3-May-2024.
Our overall experience with MDC could not have been better. Breff and Lisa listen to clients extremely well. They communicate (email, text, phone, in person) frequently, responsively, and clearly. Mainly, they make the whole process, design and construction, as stress-free as possible, efficient, and a pleasure. They do great work and they do it promptly. MDC is a design-build firm: They handle both. This greatly reduces the chance...read full review
They are a 10! I could not have imagined doing this project with anyone other then McLaughlin Design & Construction. Breff (and his project manager Lisa!) took a vision and dream and turned it into reality. They actually listen to the customer. The project turned out perfect. Provides out standing service and communication for an incredible value.
What a treat to go from an original 1960's kitchen to a new modern version.
Breff built an amazing house. It stands out even in an upscale community. He took my own personal ideas of my dream home and created something far better than I could have imagined on my own. He is a gifted architect and a solid contractor. Communication was fun and easy. I made a good decision entrusting him to bring it all to life. Couldn’t be happier!
