Datum Design Build

People are our reference point.

We design and build senior care, childcare, and multifamily renovation projects across the Twin Cities. One team carries your project from the first conversation to the final walkthrough.

Why Datum

In surveying and architecture, a datum is the fixed reference point that every other measurement comes from. The finished floor, the top of wall and the bottom of footing are all measured from it.

That's how we work. Design and construction run from one shared reference point: one team, one set of decisions, one line everyone builds to. And every one of those decisions is measured against the people who will live, learn, and work in what we build.

How we work

One team, start to finish

The people who hear your vision are the people who hand you the keys. No handoffs, and no re-explaining your project to a stranger halfway through.

A budget tied to the design

With design and construction under one roof, cost is part of every design decision from the start, not a surprise after bids come back.

Straight answers about your money

Honest budgets, a clear process, and a licensed architect who is personally accountable from first sketch to final walkthrough.
