New Home Building
Expert fabrication of beautiful design.
The construction of a new home stands at the intersection of style, vision, craft and practical living. It presents an opportunity to express yourself and create positive life change through solid design and sound craftsmanship.
A Good House is based on Good Design. Having built many architect-driven projects as a Portland and Seattle home builder – both new homes and whole house remodels – we have a firm grasp on the aspects of a design-driven residence that require special consideration. Because even the best architectural drawings cannot guarantee good construction, choosing an experienced, highly-skilled home builder is mission critical to ensuring that a design is well-built.
Working as a team member along with clients, architects, and engineers ensures that the process of home building, as well as the final product, shines as superior in nature. Process matters as much as product. We emphasize written, daily communication, weekly site meetings, 3 week look-ahead schedules, totally transparent financials, and master craftsmen project managers.
Your new house won't be our first rodeo, and you can rely on us to make your vision real ... and enjoy the ride along the way.
