Transform Your Living Space with Thoughtful Architectural Design

Interior architecture shapes how you experience your home every day—how you move through it, how it functions, and how it makes you feel. It’s the foundation for everything that follows in the design and construction process, influencing layout, flow, and even the overall mood of your space.

Think about how double-height ceilings or an open floor plan instantly make a home feel brighter and more spacious. Those kinds of design decisions are especially well-suited to Southwest Florida’s signature blend of coastal charm and modern style.

At Progressive Design Build, interior architecture is built into our process from the very beginning. Our in-house design and construction teams work together to make sure every detail of your remodel—both aesthetic and functional—aligns perfectly with the way you live.

Enhance Your Home Remodel with Premium Architectural Design Services

Architectural design plays a huge role in how successful, and enjoyable, your remodeling project will be. It shapes how efficiently your space functions, how materials work together, and how comfortable your home feels—all while keeping your design aligned with your budget and your goals.

Surprisingly, not every design-build firm offers in-house architectural support. But, at Progressive Design Build, it’s a core part of our process. When you work with us, you get the advantage of collaborating directly with our architectural design team and skilled construction experts. Together, they create a design that not only fits your lifestyle and aesthetic, but is also practical, buildable, and financially realistic—so your vision comes to life without unwanted surprises.

Tailored Architectural Designs for Your Home

We thoughtfully develop your architectural design to support how you live, incorporating structural requirements, project specifications, and more into a livable space of higher value, comfort, and beauty. 

Code-Compliant, Construction-Ready Documentation

Imagine the vision you have for your home remodel in Southwest Florida. We transform your vision into clear and technical documentation, facilitating a seamless transition from design to construction for your project.

Future-Ready, Long-Term Design Thinking

Looking to create a home you’ll love living in today—and for years to come? Our architectural design services help you make the most of your space, enhancing its comfort, value, and long-term livability whether you’re planning to sell someday or age in place.

The Benefits of an Architect-Led Design-Build Approach for Your Home

When it comes to remodeling your kitchen or bathroom, you deserve more than a standard renovation. That’s why we offer customized solutions designed around your specific needs and space.

Thinking about adding another kitchen island for your growing family but unsure if it’ll fit? We help you make those decisions with confidence. Whether you need an open-concept design or a strategic room addition to improve flow, we work with you to create the best layout for your lifestyle.

From small kitchen updates to full luxury transformations—condos to spacious homes—you’ll get innovative design, thoughtful planning, and a remodeling experience tailored to you. The result? A kitchen you’ll love to live in for years to come.

With the traditional design–bid–build approach, you hire an architect to design your project and a separate contractor to build it. As the homeowner, you’re left managing both teams independently—and what an architect beautifully designs on paper may turn out to be difficult or expensive to build, often leading to unexpected changes, delays, and higher costs.

At Progressive Design Build, our architect-led design-build approach brings everyone together from the start. Your architect, designer, and construction experts collaborate under one roof to create a design that’s beautiful, buildable, and aligned with your budget—so your project stays on schedule and stress-free.

A Single Point of Accountability for Your Entire Project

Instead of juggling multiple firms, you gain one trusted partner responsible for all phases of the design-build process. Our centralized, architect-led approach enhances the accuracy of your design throughout the construction process, reducing rework and instilling confidence in homeowners. 

Clear, Consistent, and Efficient Communication

With our in-house team structure, your entire project stays under one roof—designers, architects, and construction experts working together every day. Questions get answered quickly, challenges are solved before they become issues, and you stay informed every step of the way. The result is a smoother, more coordinated design process built around your goals and timeline.

In-House Collaborative Architectural Designs

Your architectural design is shaped through close collaboration between our in-house architectural designers, interior designers, and construction experts. Working together from the start ensures your vision is not only beautiful but also realistic—built around your timeline, your budget, and the materials available to bring it all to life. 

Streamlined, Cost-Conscious, and Constructible Design

Because architectural and construction expertise are integrated from the very beginning, you avoid common pitfalls like overdesign, costly change orders, and unexpected construction challenges. Your investment stays protected with a design that’s not only beautiful and functional but also practical—one that fits your budget, timeline, and real-world buildability.

Our Design-Build Process Supported by Expert Architectural Design Services

With our in-house architectural team involved at every stage, you get a remodel that’s thoughtfully designed, precisely drafted, and fully compliant with local codes and permits. Every detail of your vision is carefully refined—from the first floor plan to the final blueprints—so you can move forward with confidence. Explore our design-build process below to see how we make it all come together seamlessly.

Phase 1 — Comprehensive Living Space Assessment

Every great remodel starts with a conversation about you—your goals, your ideas, and how you want to live in your home. During your initial consultation, we take the time to listen and understand what matters most to you. Once we know we’re the right fit for your project, we’ll visit your home to see the space firsthand and start exploring the possibilities together.

Phase 2 — Architectural Design Development and Planning

Our architectural designers prepare schematic drawings, from floor plans and elevations to conceptual layouts, to help you clearly visualize your remodeled space. Each design iteration includes associated budget estimates and projected timelines, empowering you to make informed decisions.

Phase 3 — Converting Your Vision into Detailed Architectural and Drafting Plans

Once you have approved a design, our architectural team converts it into a comprehensive set of construction documents, including structural details, elevations, and plumbing and mechanical layouts. Your dedicated project manager works closely with our architectural designers and contractors to ensure consistency between the design intent and the work performed onsite.

Architectural Design Services FAQs for Southwest Florida Homeowners

In a traditional setup, an architect designs your floor plans and layouts, but their role often ends there—leaving you to manage the construction separately.

With Progressive Design Build, it’s different. Our architectural design services are fully integrated into the remodeling process. Your architectural design team and construction experts work together under one roof, ensuring your design is developed thoughtfully and built with precision, just as you envisioned.

Architectural design is a study of architecture that focuses on the structural layout, materials, design development, and long-term planning required for a successful remodel. It ensures the home functions properly, supporting your lifestyle while complying with state and local building codes.

Architects are different from building designers and interior designers. They’re specially trained and licensed to create plans that address complex structural, mechanical, and code-related requirements. When you work with a design-build firm that offers in-house architectural design services, you gain the assurance that your remodel is not only beautiful, but also functional, structurally sound, and built to meet all local regulations.

What Client’s Say

I think during negotiations with Mike Spreckelmeier that he was very honest. This gave me a great sense of trust. I felt I was entrusting my home to a friend!
LZLinda Z., Fort Myers, FL
Progressive did a room addition, new outdoor grilling kitchen, some plumbing and painting work. Their attention to detail was impeccable. They stayed on task and on their time line. They are very respectful of the client’s property, and very thorough when planning and preparing for the project. They follow up at each stage of the project to ensure all phases are to the client’s satisfaction.
DTDave and Noreen T., Bonita Springs, FL
Progressive Design Build did a significant project for us: new kitchen, family room, new ceramic tile throughout the house, moved a wall in a bedroom, new paint in most of our rooms and a total new paint job on the exterior of the house. They covered all the details of the job before we left for the summer. They kept us informed weekly with emails, photos and phone calls when necessary, and finished the job two before we came back in the fall. They did an excellent, outstanding job and the punch list took less than six to complete. I will use them again for our next remodel project. Excellent, Excellent, Excellent!
JFJohn and Barb F., Bonita Springs, FL
Progressive Design Build helped us design and build a new family room/kitchen in the summer of 2013. We selected them after extensive bids based on the quality of their vision for the project and sterling recommendations from friends and neighbors. All work was done while we were away for the summer. We could not be more pleased with the results. Not only did Progressive owner Mike Spreckelmeier do a first-rate job managing the flow and costs of the project (which was exactly on-budget), but also the finished product had the shortest punch list of any of the five major renovations we have done on various properties with other builders during the past two decades. And, our home was cleaner when we returned than when we left before construction. We unconditionally recommend Progressive Design Build.
RBRoy and Patty B., Bonita Springs, FL
We were entirely satisfied with everything and everybody. Nice people!
DADr. John A., Fort Myers, FL
It was such a pleasure working with the team at Progressive Design Build on our recent renovation project in Fort Myers. We especially thank Greg Brown for his special attention to detail and the entire team for their excellent “long distance communication” skills. We were thrilled that we could handle everything from our home in Virginia and that our project was completed not only on time, but ahead of schedule! We would highly recommend Progressive Design Build to everyone!
GGGeoffrey & Magda G., Fort Myers, FL
Having moved in, we are delighted with the entire renovation and thrilled by the compliments from many new neighbors on how pleasant, courteous and helpful the various contractors had been at all times. Progressive gets five stars from us. Thanks for a job well done.
BMBryan & Ann M., Estero, FL
Progressive completed a major remodeling project for us on time and on budget. Our project included new bedrooms above our garage, expanding existing bedrooms, expanding our lanai with a new outdoor kitchen, a new roof, upgraded landscaping including a new irrigation system – all coordinated and managed by Progressive. The owner, Michael Spreckelmeier, is a man of his word, communicates extremely well, and will always do what is best for the customer.
DDDuke and Kathleen D., Bonita Springs, FL
We have used Progressive Design Build twice in three years, both times on home improvement projects including adding walls on different second homes while we were out of state and unable to observe the work. Both times we returned to the projects that were done to perfection, as well as the clean-up. We are now full time Florida residents and are using Progressive again for a much larger project. We would unequivocally recommend Progressive Design Build.
APArthur and Cindy P., Bonita Springs, FL
Progressive has performed three projects for us over the last three years. most recently January 2014. All the projects were very well done — I respect Progressive’s professionalism, dependency, and integrity. I would highly recommend them to anyone, and have done so. I worked with another contractor on a project during the last three years — there was no comparison regarding Progressive’s performance and the performance of the other contractor — the experience with Progressive was MUCH better than the other service provider. My impression is that Progressive may not be the cheapest service provider, but work is performed on schedule and at the highest quality level. I will happily pay a bit more to receive the quality of the service they provide. I trust Mike and will definitely use him again if a need arises.
TSTom S., Bonita Springs, FL
We had 2 doors replaced. The project required major changes to the door openings. Michael Spreckelmeier was very easy to work with and he was involved with all phases of the project. The project was completed on time and on budget. We are pleased with the outcome and will use Progressive Design Build in the future.
JPJack and Maryanne P., Bonita Springs, FL
Progressive has performed three projects for us over three years — (1) an outdoor kitchen in January 2011; (2) Kitchen remodel and wet bar construction in Fall 2012; and (3) outer wall repair/reconstruction in January 2014. All the projects were very well done — we respect Progressive’s professionalism, dependency and integrity, and would highly recommend them to anyone, and have done so. We worked with another contractor on a project during the last three years — there was no comparison regarding — the experience with Progressive was MUCH better. My impression is that Progressive may not be the cheapest service provider, work is performed on schedule and at the highest quality level.

Both Tom and I would highly recommend Progressive Design Build, Inc. for any job. The quality of the workmanship along with on time completion made it an enjoyable experience.
TDTom & Mary D., Captiva Island, FL
Tom and I can’t wait for the “winter season” when we will enjoy the new addition every day! You have been a wonderful team to work with!
TCTom & Michale C., Bonita Springs, FL
We hired Mike Spreckelmeier at Progressive Design Build to remodel our condo in Bonita Bay. We wanted to completely redo the kitchen as well as eliminate the sliders from the kitchen and family room leading to the lanai. Progressive completed the remodel while we were back at home in Illinois. We were thrilled to return to an outstanding result. Not only was all the furniture back in place, but everything was very clean and neat. We even found a new filter in the air-conditioning unit! Outstanding job, would highly recommend Mike and Progressive.
DGDick and Judy G., Bonita Springs, FL
Thank you for all the wonderful things you did to make our job turnout so well. It was such a pleasure to return to our “new home” during the holidays. We weren’t here so you had to make many choices for us. You always did the best thing, not the easiest. The quality of the work was most important to us but the fact that you gave us a time schedule and stuck to it was important. We love everything!
