Site · Design · Build · Handover

A budget you can open at any hour.

Most of what goes wrong on a build goes wrong quietly, in the gap between what was priced and what was ordered. We keep that gap visible. The budget is one document, current to the week, and you hold it — not a summary of it.

When something does go wrong you hear it from us before you see it. A superintendent who tells you about a two-week delay the day he learns of it is worth more than one who never seems to have any.

How it goes

Four stages.

01

Site

We walk the land before anything is drawn. Grade, orientation, where the water goes in August, what can still be built next door. Half the decisions that matter are made here, and none of them can be undone later.

02

Design

With your architect, or with ours. The budget enters the drawing early — a set of plans priced after it is finished is a negotiation, not a design.

03

Build

One superintendent, one crew, one number to call. He is on your house and not on four others, which is the whole reason we take on as few as we do.

04

Handover

Commissioning, a systems briefing that takes an afternoon, and a warranty we answer ourselves rather than routing to whoever installed the thing.

Questions

Before you get in touch.

Who is on site day to day?
Your superintendent, and the same one from excavation to handover. If he is not on your site he is at a fabricator or the county office on your behalf, and he will tell you which.
How do change orders work?
Priced before the work happens, never after. You approve a number and a schedule impact together, because a change that costs nothing and adds three weeks is still a change.
What happens after handover?
Two years on workmanship, ten on the structure, and the manufacturer's term on anything we installed. After all of it expires we still answer the phone.

If you have a site — or you are still looking — the earlier we see it, the more we can do with it.
