The one firm that works for the owner
Homeowners spend six figures on renovations without a full grasp of the moving pieces. The architect owns design. The contractor owns the build. Neither is accountable for the full picture.
Design and Biz exists to close that gap — the budget, the timeline, the tradeoffs, and the decisions that connect it all. We work exclusively for the owner, start to finish. And we built the tools we wished existed to prove it.
Co-founders
A corporate strategist and a government regulatory specialist, building the firm they wished homeowners had.
Brandon Cavanagh
Co-Founder
Brandon has spent a decade in corporate strategy and operations, with time in the energy space working for an electric utility and a state utility commission. He co-founded Design and Biz to bring systems-level thinking to the homeowner's side of the table.
Michael Corey
Co-Founder
Michael has spent his entire career working alongside municipal and state government agencies, helping clients navigate hurdles and unlock opportunities. He co-founded Design and Biz to put that institutional knowledge directly in homeowners' hands — so they can move faster, avoid costly surprises, and get projects across the finish line.
Why we built the tools
Most advisory firms keep their expertise behind a paywall. We took the opposite approach — six free AI tools that give every homeowner access to the kind of intelligence that used to require hiring a consultant. All address-specific. All available before you spend a dime.

If the tools help you navigate on your own, great. If you want someone in your corner for the full project, we're here for that too.
