Yes. While our primary focus is custom residential construction, we also take on select commercial and multi-family projects that align with our expertise and capacity.
The first step is an initial consultation to discuss your goals, budget, site conditions, and timeline. From there, we review plans (or assist during design development), establish preliminary budgets, and outline the construction process before moving into a formal agreement.
Construction timelines vary depending on project complexity, permitting timelines, and site conditions. A custom home takes several months from groundbreaking to completion, on average it takes 9 Month for a single floor 2000sqf house. A detailed project schedule is provided once plans are finalized and permits are in place.
Construction projects can encounter unforeseen conditions such as weather delays, material lead times, or site-related discoveries. When challenges arise, we communicate promptly, present options, and work proactively with our trades and consultants to minimize schedule and cost impacts.
Yes, changes can be made during construction. All changes are documented through written change orders that clearly outline cost and schedule impacts, allowing clients to make informed decisions before proceeding.
Yes. Once the project is under contract and permits are issued, we provide a project timeline outlining major milestones and construction phases. This timeline is updated as needed throughout the build.
We provide regular progress updates throughout construction. Updates may include site meetings, written summaries, photos, and schedule check-ins to ensure clear communication and transparency at every stage.
The cost of new construction varies based on size, location, site conditions, and level of finish. In Washington State, average construction costs often start around the statewide benchmark for single-family homes which is around $315/sqf, but custom homes typically exceed that baseline due to design complexity, site-specific requirements, and client-driven selections. We work closely with our clients to establish a realistic budget early and tailor the project scope to align with financial goals.
Several factors affect the final cost of a project, including:
Our estimates clearly separate these factors so clients understand where costs originate and how design choices impact the budget.
Yes. We provide detailed, itemized cost breakdowns that clearly outline major construction phases and trade categories. Our estimates are transparent, defensible, and structured to support client decision-making, lender review, and long-term project planning.
Payments are typically made via check or bank transfer. For projects involving construction loans, we coordinate directly with lenders and follow standard draw schedules based on completed work and inspections.
Yes. A deposit is required at contract execution to secure scheduling, begin pre-construction coordination, and cover early project costs such as permitting, scheduling, and subcontractor commitments. Deposit terms are clearly outlined in the construction agreement.
We do not offer direct financing, but we regularly work with construction lenders and can recommend local banks and loan officers experienced with custom residential construction. We also assist clients by providing lender-ready budgets, schedules of values, and documentation required during the loan process.
