35+ Years of Construction and Design Experience
Residential home design rooted in real construction experience, for homeowners across northern Utah and southern Idaho.
Dave Nielsen, Residential Designer
Dave Nielsen founded Vizzi Design to give homeowners something every building project needs: a design that has been thought through from every angle before construction begins.
With a background spanning construction, real estate and design, Dave has designed hundreds of homes, from custom new builds to remodels, additions, ADUs and finished basements. Every project is designed in 3D, so clients can see exactly what they are building and make decisions with confidence.
Based in Brigham City, Dave works with homeowners and builders throughout northern Utah and southern Idaho, holding design meetings on Zoom and visiting properties for on-site measuring.
Designing a Home Is More Than Making It Beautiful
Every Vizzi Design project is built around three priorities.
It Must Fit the Site
A home must work with its lot, its orientation and its setting to be economically viable from the start.
It Must Fit How You Live
How do you live? How do you work and play? Your home should be designed around your specific needs.
It Must Fit Your Budget
A great design has to be practical and buildable within a specific budget, so your plans can become reality.
Planning That Makes Construction Run Smoothly
Construction is an exercise in logistics and change management. Getting everything front-loaded and ready to go makes the entire process run more smoothly for homeowners, trade partners and builders alike.
Why 35+ Years of Field Experience Matters for Your Budget
Many plans look good on paper but cost tens of thousands more than necessary to frame. Dave applies a 7-Point Constructability & Cost-Control Review to every plan set—aligning load-bearing walls, simplifying roof truss spans for Utah and Idaho snow loads, stacking wet plumbing walls, and verifying stair/headroom geometry in 3D before your builder ever orders lumber.
Transparent Design Fees: Residential design and drafting at Vizzi Design typically costs $2 to $3 per square foot, depending on project complexity (with a small-project minimum). Your first consultation is always free, and you receive a fixed-fee written quote before work begins.
