We love it when clients challenge us to do something truly unique. That’s what makes a custom home truly custom.
Now we just have to figure out how to lift and install a 2,500 lb door…
Volunteers welcome! 😂 Who’s got an indoor crane? Any guesses on how we plan to install it?

Did you know that dark wood interiors are tied to masculinity, wealth and intellect?
YES! Wood was originally used in design back in medieval Europe. Wood was more structural then, but the staining helped protect wood rom smoke, moisture and pests. Then England refined woodworking & it became more of a symbol of wealth and intellect.
Pretty neat history in architecture and design!

We get asked all the time, “How long does it take to build a house?”. Well, for us, your average time is around 6-7 months from first shovel in the ground. This bad boy will be done before the holidays … ... See MoreSee Less

How cool is this!? The first picture is pretty boring. No one knows what they're looking at. But in the second picture, we outline the floor plan for you! This plan is going to be COOOOOOL
Did we mention that the front door foyer is like 18 linear feet of glass? Yeah. Stay tuned.

Did you know that we keep cameras on most of our job sites? YUP! It makes it pretty easy to keep tabs on job status at any time, make sure crews are on schedule, and makes it REALLY easy to identify middle of the night thieves.
We try our best to keep our jobs secure. 24-7!

We had an eventful morning in the shop! An employee who will remain nameless 😉 was loading something onto the golf cart & it fell onto the gas pedal! No one was hurt, so we can laugh at ourselves a little. ENJOY. ...
We feel like we`re building everywhere! Tell us if you see your town! ...
NEW SITE going over all the measurements and plumbing locations since the slab was poured. We’re using the Trimble Ri and the T10x tablet to verify everything down to the 1/16 of an inch before we keep moving.
It’s a tech heavy setup, but honestly, it’s really nice to be able to capture the data and review it back at the office with the whole team. I’d much rather spend the extra time obsessing over the details now than run into a situation later.
Measure twice, verify three times, and sleep better at night knowing the math checks out.

This new home just gives off cozy vibes. It features TWO fireplaces - BACK TO BACK. The fireplace inside is a a regular gas burning fireplace. Now, the fireplace OUTSIDE is a true WOOD BURNING fireplace.
AHHHHHH- can you image the fall evenings spent on this porch? PERFECTION.
