Services

We are a full service general contractor, bringing together the perfect construction specialists and artisans for each custom home. Most importantly, we work directly with you and the design team through all phases of the construction process, from initial design development to final certificate of occupancy and beyond. We pride ourselves in completing all of our projects on time and under budget.

Permits
We work with the architect, engineer, and design team to submit and obtain all necessary building permits.
We provide preliminary estimates at the design development stage to help guide the architect and design team to work within an overall budget. This preliminary budget is based on historical pricing from projects that were a similar size and scope of work.
Once plans are complete we solicit hundreds of bids from qualified local contractors to develop a comprehensive budget. This budget encompasses everything from the initial groundbreaking all the way to the final certificate of occupancy. Once approved by the owner this budge becomes our Guaranteed Maximum Price contract which is also tied to a specific construction schedule and completion date.
During the bidding process, many value engineering ideas become apparent to us which we then propose to the entire team. These are actual ways to value engineer which is the classy way to say reduce costs. This value engineering does not stop at just the bidding stage but continues throughout the entire construction process.

In addition to the comprehensive Guaranteed Maximum budget, we tie this budget to a detailed construction schedule. This schedule incorporates critical start dates, material selection dates and pivotal completion dates which keep the project on schedule.

Through our weekly Owner, Architect and Contractor meetings we provide full-service construction administration focusing on all areas of the construction and design related elements. These weekly meetings are essential to review critical construction and design related elements that arise during construction. They also keep the entire team up to date pricing related items and schedule.
