Explore moreHow we build
Most of the fear in building a house comes from not knowing what happens next or what it will cost. This is the whole sequence, start to finish.
Forty-five minutes on your lot or at our office. What you want, what you own, what you can spend. No charge and no follow-up calls unless you ask for them.
We check setbacks, soil, drainage and utility runs, then give you a real cost band for the house you described. Plenty of people stop here, and that is fine.
Drawings develop while we price alongside them, so you find out what a detail costs while it is still cheap to change. Fixtures and finishes get chosen before contract, not during.
Allowances locked at real supplier quotes, permits filed, schedule dated. You sign one number and one completion date.
One superintendent, our own framing and finish crews, photos and cost tracking every Friday. Anything that needs a decision reaches you in writing.
Walkthrough, punch list closed before you move in, then a scheduled callback at eleven months so anything that has settled gets fixed inside the warranty year.
Stages one and two cost you nothing and carry no obligation. Most clients spend four to six weeks there before deciding whether to go on.
Start at stage oneWhy build with us
Most build stress comes from not knowing what is happening or what it will cost. We removed both by pricing everything up front and reporting every Friday.
Allowances are set at real supplier quotes, not lowball placeholders that blow up at selection time.
Framing, roofing and finish carpentry are ours. Only mechanical trades are subcontracted, and always to the same firms.
The contract carries a completion date with agreed damages if we miss it for reasons that are ours.
We come back before your warranty year is up and fix what has settled, whether or not you noticed it.
Before you call
If yours is not here, ask it on the phone. We would rather answer it now than have it turn into a change order in month five.
Ask us directlyPlan on four to six months for design, engineering and permits, then seven to eleven months on site depending on size and finish level. We give you a dated schedule before contract and update it every Friday.
Yes, and we will walk it with you before anything is signed. Setbacks, soil, drainage and utility runs decide more about the final cost than the floor plan does.
You get a written change order with the cost and the schedule impact before any work happens. Nothing gets built on a verbal, and nothing appears on the invoice that you have not signed.
We do. Drawings, engineering, submissions, fees and every inspection through to the certificate of occupancy are ours to chase. You sign the application, we do the queuing.
Your lender pays in draws as work completes rather than in one lump. We build the draw schedule into the contract, submit the inspection paperwork at each stage and hand over signed lien waivers from every trade before the money is released. We can introduce you to three local lenders who do this regularly.
Often. Bring us in during design development and we will price as the drawings evolve, so you find out what a detail costs while it is still cheap to change.
Tell us where you are up to and we will tell you honestly what it takes to build it.
