Process

Five steps, in writing, before we break ground.

The same five steps for a kitchen and for an estate. What changes is the length of each one — never whether it happens.

/01

Consultation

We meet at the lot or the house. You tell us what you want and what you're worried about. We tell you plainly what it will take, roughly what it will cost, and whether we're the right builder for it.

Design & budget

Plans, engineering and selections are priced as they're drawn, so the budget you sign is the budget you build. Every allowance is written down. You'll see a line-item estimate, not a number on a napkin.

Permits

City, county and HOA. We file, revise, resubmit and chase. For remodels that need a permit, we pull it; for those that don't, we say so.

Build

Trusted trades, supervised by Jacob. The site is cleaned every evening. You get an update every day something changes — with photos, whether you're across town or out of state.

Handover & warranty

A walkthrough, a punch list we finish before you move in, and a warranty in writing.

Timelines

Honest schedules, not optimistic ones.

Kitchen or bath
4–8 weeks
Addition
3–5 months
Custom home
10–14 months

From materials on site (remodels) or signed plans (custom homes). Permitting time varies by jurisdiction and is shown separately on your schedule.

Step one is a conversation.

Book a consultation. We'll walk the site and tell you what it takes.
