About RAd

Hi, I am Ryan Duncan, the ambitious hammer-wielding designer behind
                              RAD Home Designs

I derive from a family of tradesmen and craftsmen. I will keep honesty, pride, and integrity alive in my home designs, drawings, and business relations. Since I was young, I knew I would have a career in the construction industry, almost like the field chose me, like my internal DNA was made to be in this field. I went to work right after high school for a contractor and my own company, that was my leap into the building trades. 

While honing my skills as a carpenter and craftsman, I studied Drafting & CAD  at Clinton Community College then Construction Management at Kirkwood Community College with some great teachers and mentors. Although I'm a sucker for swinging a hammer all day I feel I would be doing myself and the home building industry a disservice by not designing homes that fulfill the dreams and visions of homeowners.

As I worked in the home building industry I realized that all projects are subjected to many of the same issues including communication, budgets, schedules, design issues, in some cases ultimately ending in frustrated clients and contractors. As I looked at these issues I saw a process that can be fixed by creating a process of

One team working on one project towards one goal.

That, I believe, is one of the best things I can do to help you achieve your vision for your home as smoothly, predictably, while making the process as enjoyable as possible. I take pride in my designs and plans with high expectations. My goal is to build a company that can make the design process clearer, concise while making it easier for the homeowner, builder, subcontractors, and designers. 

I plan to provide new construction, addition and renovation design and services to our area for many years to come for homeowners, business owners, builders, and real estate professionals.

From concept to completion, I'll be your guide, your expert and your trouble-shooter every step of the way.

My goal is to create a customized experience for every client.

I will take into account how you live your life, I will listen, I will show this with the highly detailed construction drawings & 3D Models to bring your dream home to life.

Good relationships and good design come from collaboration. Your vision, ideas, and budget must be front and center throughout the design process.
