Service

You can expect unmatched access to the builder since our family partners are intimately involved in the progress of your project. We provide continual connectivity with your project management team and open books accounting on costs of your job. We also use Builder Trend- the industry leading construction project management software application so you can see photo updates, Gantt charts and selection options wherever you are- even states away! Building is a complex activity, that’s why we focus on minimizing the stress on you.

Expertise

We have compiled a team of management professionals with over 100 years of combined building experience- if you can imagine it, we’ve probably done it and can recommend how to do it and what to avoid. As a general sampling- a plurality of our homes incorporate curtain-wall retractable windows, ornamental ironwork, intricate or arched trim detail, reclaimed natural materials, standing seam roofs or accents, infinity pools, elevators… you name it. But it’s not just the wow-features that we care about, your home’s waterproofing, energy efficiency, environmental acclimation and long-term durability are what really get us excited. We don’t cut corners and our clients are grateful.

Trust

Because each home is one-of a kind, there’s a lot to discover along the way when designing a new home. Because of this, we find it best to partner with clients on achieving both parts of their vision: design and budgetary goals as one combined effort. We rarely have a client whose budget isn’t a significant factor in their overall vision, thus we work to conduct price checks as the design is coming together. Our clients drive budget decisions the entire way, and we don’t start work until they give us the green light- then we provide total transparency on all costs for the job so that we really do develop the feel of teamwork. It’s a more rewarding approach for all of us, and a better experience for you!
