Custom Home Construction in Denver
A custom home involves hundreds of decisions. We help you make them in the right order, keep the budget honest at every step and hand you a home that is documented as well as it is built.
Service scope
What's included
Every project and service request starts with a written scope, so you know what is included before work begins.
- Lot and site evaluation
- Design coordination with your architect
- Budgeting, allowances and selections
- Permits, inspections and utility connections
- Construction from foundation to finishes
- Final walkthrough and home documentation
Align the home with the budget
Most custom homes go over budget through allowances and late changes. We set realistic allowances, price options before you choose them and keep a running cost picture, so you always know where you stand.
A clear schedule of decisions
Window orders, cabinet design, fixtures and finishes each have a deadline tied to construction. We give you a selection schedule so decisions never hold up the crew.
A home that's easy to look after
At move-in you get photos of what is inside the walls, equipment manuals, warranties and a maintenance outline. If you want, our Maintain team can take care of the home after you move in.
Local knowledge
Building on Front Range sites
Expansive clay soils are common along the Front Range, so foundation design usually starts with a soils report. Building at altitude affects mechanical equipment, and strong sun, hail and heavy spring snow influence roofing, window and siding choices. Foothills and mountain-edge lots can add access, grading and wildfire considerations.
