Our goal is for all of our clients to have the very best experience possible when building their home.  In order to reach this goal, proper planning is essential.  Our team will work with you every step of the way, from design to construction, to make your dream home a reality.

Outlined below is a brief overview of our construction process.  Of course, every project is different and this process will be refined to suit each client’s personal needs.

 
 

PRE-CONSTRUCTION

Our knowledge in construction allows us to provide you with a total job cost, based on your specifications and selections, for the entire construction of your home. We can work closely with your architect or design professional in the early stages of a project to offer suggestions on materials and methods to optimize the economy of the project. When we are working with a completed design we can often offer alternative materials and/or methods of construction to save money or create a better value for the project. We handle all phases of the permitting process, from initial applications and filings with governmental agencies to applications for approval through Homeowners & Condo Associations.
