Our Building Process

We Deliver… On-Time and On-Budget

Effective pre-construction planning is crucial to the success of any project. To best accomplish this, our building process utilizes a team approach. Experience has shown that when the owner, architect, engineers, and builder are engaged in clear and regular communication early on, the result is a smoothly functioning operation that translates to a more enjoyable and cost-effective experience for our clients.

In addition to paying close attention to detail and fine workmanship, the two most important factors in any construction project are time and money. When you start a construction project with us, we will provide you with a Project Plan Binder that will include two very important documents:

• Construction Project Timeline
• Construction Cost Budget Spreadsheet

The careful preparation of these documents will provide you with a roadmap to the successful completion of your house construction project – on-time and on-budget.
