Build your dream home in the Pacific Northwest

Experience. Few independent builders have over four decades of hands-on experience. Even fewer have worked with as diverse a client base on such a broad range of projects, spanning as many local geographies.

Motivations. We build luxury custom homes out of passion for the craft—and our clients. We bring this passion to every project we take on, and treat each as if it were our own personal endeavor. Sometimes, it is. We've built and lived in many of our own homes, including our current primary residence.

Tech, system, and processes. We continuously iterate our (proven) approach to project planning and execution to minimize friction while increasing transparency and efficiency. Two key force multipliers: innovative technologies and intelligent process design.

Custom home building is both an art and a science. Leveraging tech and nailing processes drives outperformance on the science side of things. Not only does this cut costs, timelines, and risk, but it creates space for channeling your inspiration into a building home you'll never want to sell.

Structure. Unlike large building companies, we are nimble. Our decision-making hierarchy is flat, we don't answer to investors, and we don't require buy-in from bloated teams of stakeholders to get things done.

We generally build new custom homes and take on major remodels in King County and the islands.

We've built homes in:

• Beaux Arts Village • Bellevue • Clyde Hill • Hunts Point • Issaquah • Kirkland • Maple Valley • Medina • Mercer Island • North Bend • Redmond • Sammamish • Seattle • Whidbey Island • Yarrow Point

...and other locations around the state.

The timeline for building a custom home varies. Many factors affect project duration: size and complexity of the project, local government permitting turnaround time, supply chain and input selection, and you. On average, it takes 12 to 18 months to complete a custom luxury home build from the time of full-permitting.

We work with you to clarify the scope of your build with a view to outperforming on expectations while minimizing friction along the way.

Costs are a function of size, specifications, materials, desired timelines, and myriad other factors.

We work with all clients to clarify costs at the earliest stage based on defined parameters and scope of work.

Generally, yes.

We treat this on a case-by-case basis. If we can quickly develop confidence in a professional you'd like to bring on board, we're good to go. Ultimately, we need to deliver for you and we can't let anyone jeopardize that.

Some of our clients opt to engage a professional in one part of the building process—specifically architects and designers—that they know. With clarity around participation, roles, and communication, this can work well. One recent example is Trove Interiors.

We have established relationships with local partners and subcontractors that span 25 years, or longer. These are based on strong time series data and performance. And frankly, sometimes we have to make changes. It can be tough for folks outside of the industry to develop this level of visibility.

Yes.

Changes do happen, for all kinds of reasons. We work hard to minimize the required changes in order to deliver on timelines and budget.

That said, flexibility is key. We'll work with you to action changes and modifications efficiently and effectively throughout the process.
