Open-book estimating with a detailed schedule of values, clearly defined allowances, and a written change-order protocol. You’ll see alternates and value-engineering options before decisions.

Yes. We maintain numerous local references and, when privacy allows, arrange private walk-throughs of recent work.

Upfront geotechnical coordination, shoring/drainage plans, fire-hardening details, and logistics for access, staging, and neighborhood impact—documented before groundbreak.

Layered QA/QC: submittals, mockups, third-party testing where appropriate, and pre-cover inspections with photo logs so what’s behind the walls meets the same standard as what’s visible.

We publish a procurement schedule, place critical orders early, carry approved alternates, and resequence non-dependent work to protect the timeline.

One point of accountability. We run RFIs, track decisions, schedule onsite reviews, and manage sample approvals so design intent is preserved through execution.

A homeowner’s manual, a vetted list of local pros, and optional maintenance plans—ongoing care to protect systems, finishes, and long-term value.
