Design & Engineering
Good design is critical to how buildings look, feel and function. Well-planned and well-built homes are a joy to live in.
We strive to design homes that inspire their occupants; Connect to the surroundings; are easy to maintain and affordable to operate. They are beautiful, comfortable and worth maintaining through the generations.
We collaborate with home-owners, architects, engineers and other talented builders to solve challenging structural problems.
We achieve these goals by really learning about our clients' needs, studying their property and making sure their homes are built according to the best of building science principles. We like to think we are having a conversation with future generations about what we value in good design and craftsmanship.
We have been designing and building homes in Jackson Hole and Teton Valley for over 20 years. We know what really works in our climate. We also have a solid understanding of local construction costs so we can help our clients build their dream homes within their desired budgets. As an experienced design-build firm this is perhaps the biggest benefit we offer our clients... making informed decisions about the design, mechanical systems and finishes of their homes to keep the design aligned with the budget. When we get this right, we all enjoy the reward of designing the right home... building it.

-
Once Plans are finalized we begin ordering, organizing and cutting the beams for your frame.
-
In the course of our shop work, the frames have been pre-assembled and test-fit, So when it comes to on-site construction, often we can raise the frame in under a week.
-
Stain and Finish often happen after the drywall and other aspects of the home are constructed, so we return to apply the final coats of stain or finish before the home is completed.
