Join our Team of Designers and Home Builders
We’re looking for people to join our team who are as excited as we are to build high performance affordable homes, and bring our aging homes in to the modern world using sustainable building practices that include responsible product sourcing, local trade and vendor partnerships, leading edge building science, thoughtful design and good old hard work.
We are a Worker-Owned Cooperative and as such, each new employee represents the opportunity for Our Coop to grow and for our employees to become member-owners, sharing equally in financial proceeds, ownership responsibility and Coop Governance through board membership.
Our community sustains us as individuals and families, business owners and community members. We give at least 10% of our profits back to the community in the form of direct volunteer labor, community organization membership and cold hard cash. All of our employees and member-owners are encouraged and supported to spend volunteer time in our community in a way that is meaningful to them.
We believe in providing an excellent work environment that is free of social, racial, and gender discrimination, provides a living wage, excellent benefits, equal opportunity and continuous training opportunities.
We are committed to social, economic and environmental sustainability as expressed through our craft, collaboration, community support and an equitable work culture.
Why A1DesignBuild?
A1DesignBuild started with area simple idea: build high performance homes and remodels for our clients in Bellingham and Whatcom County WA. Since 1955, that’s been our goal - and our 4.8 Google rating score is proof of that. Day in and day out, our team of experts help turn home dreams into reality through a time tested design and build process.
And now, potentially, you can be a part of that team.
If you ever want to talk to some of our employee partners, just let us know and we’ll connect you. What you’ll find is a level of care and intention that is often overlooked in our industry, and what we value is a home building environment that truly meets the needs of everyone we work with.
Working together, we can provide a design and build community that truly excels at culture and quality.

Here’s to a bright future - salud!
