Meet The Team
Our process begins with our sales and estimating team working closely with you to understand your family’s needs, goals, and vision. We visit your home to take measurements, gather photos, and review any architectural drawings. If you don’t have an architect, we can connect you with some of the best in the area. Our team ensures clear communication about your budget, helping you allocate funds effectively to the areas that matter most. Once the scope and budget align, we move forward with contract approval and transition the project to our construction team.
Our dedicated Construction Team is led by experienced Project Managers Todd and Natalie—both architecture degree holders with over 30 years of experience in high-end residential project management. They oversee all aspects of your project’s execution, including internal setup, communication, selections, changes, permitting, finances, and organization.
Recent additions like Kelly, Ashlay, and Brian strengthen our focus on customer service, ensuring you have support throughout every step.
Licensed Builders and Construction Managers Glen and Steve, supported by Assistant Construction Managers Andrew and Andrew, bring over 30 years of hands-on experience to the field. They manage inspections, coordinate suppliers and trade partners, maintain schedules, and uphold our quality and budget standards.
This collaborative team, shaped by diverse expertise, consistently delivers excellence in both craftsmanship and customer experience. Their dedication to your project’s success and satisfaction reflects our core values, supported by decades of industry knowledge.
Behind every successful project is a team of passionate professionals dedicated to excellence in design, construction, and customer care. Get to know the people who bring your vision to life.
