What Our Clients Say
I worked with Vlad and Peter on a feasibility study for our property, and the experience was excellent. They demonstrated great patience, provided clear and thoughtful guidance, and addressed all of my questions in detail. Their knowledge and responsiveness throughout the process gave me confidence and made the experience smooth and efficient. I highly recommend Seattle Modern Buildings and their team.

Thanks so much for your feedback, Jocelyn!
I had a feasibility study completed on my south Seattle home. Vlad and his crew were top notch professionals the entire way through. They communicated with my tenants to avoid disturbing them, drew up multiple options with tiered pricing and most importantly had a no pressure friendly attitude. I would not hesitate to use them every time.

We appreciate your feedback, Brom!
I am in the early stages of building a 1000 sq ft backyard cottage and am happy with the well researched feasibility study and options they presented. I have spoken with many design build firms, architects, and developers in the Seattle area. As a small homeowner, their process makes the most sense for me. I am excited to start the permitting next!

Thanks for your review, Chester!
Thanks to Modern Buildings, we now have a fully booked Airbnb that practically runs itself. Their team helped us design a layout that’s both functional and visually appealing, with high-quality finishes that guests love. We’ve been getting nonstop 5-star reviews, and the space stands out on every booking platform. It’s been a great investment, and we’re so glad we chose Modern Buildings for the project.

We’re so grateful to Modern Buildings for building a DADU on our property. Now our parents have a beautiful and private space to stay close to us. It’s been a total game changer for our family!

Thank you so much for your kind words — we really appreciate it! 🙏
A few years ago, Modern Buildings built our DADU, and we’re very happy with the result. The entire process went smoothly — the team was professional, reliable, and delivered exactly what we needed. The quality of the construction has held up really well over time, and we continue to be pleased with the outcome.

Thanks for your feedback, Tyler!
My home was built in 2023 by Modern Buildings LLC, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. The craftsmanship, modern design, and attention to detail are truly top-tier. What’s even more incredible is how well the home performs as an Airbnb! My success with it has been unbelievable! Guests consistently rave about the aesthetics, comfort, layout, and the booking demand has been nonstop. This property has not only been a beautiful place to own but also an amazing investment. I’m beyond grateful to Modern Buildings for building a home that continues to deliver on every level!
