A builder small enough that the owner is on the site
Building a house is the largest single job we take on, and the thing that decides how it goes is not the drawings — it is who is actually on site and how often. On a big-volume builder's job, the person who sold you the house is not the person managing it, and the person managing it has several others. What you get here is Roberto walking the site, pricing it, and being there while it is built, which is the same arrangement as every other job we do, just longer.
That has an obvious trade-off and it is fair to state it: we are not the outfit to call if you want twenty houses on a subdivision schedule. We are the outfit to call for a single home, on a piece of land you already own or are buying, where you want to be able to ring the person in charge and get an answer.
It also means the rest of what we do comes with it. The carport, the pole barn, the deck, the covered porch and the metal roof are all things this crew builds week in and week out — so they can be part of the build rather than three more contractors to line up afterwards.
- The owner runs the job. Roberto prices it, plans it and is on the site. There is no layer between you and the build.
- One contractor, not six. Structure, roof, siding, decks and outbuildings all come from the same crew.
- Written scope before anything moves. The specification, the materials and the number, agreed in writing at the start.
- Changes priced before they happen. If you change something mid-build, you see what it costs before we do it.
- Outbuildings included. Carport, barn or shop planned into the site rather than squeezed in later.
- Finished properly. Trim, clean-up and a walkthrough. The last five per cent is where builders get their reputation.
What we build
Room Additions
The smaller version of the same work, tied into a house that already exists.

Learn more ›Pole Barns & Carports
Outbuildings and covered parking, built at the same time as the house.
Learn more ›Covered Porches
Designed in from the start rather than added on two years later.

You can reach the person in charge
The number on this site reaches the person who prices your build and stands on the site while it happens. On a job this size that access is worth more than any brochure.
We build the outbuildings too
Most builders sub out the carport, the barn and the deck. Those are our core trade, so they can be designed into the site from day one instead of bolted on afterwards.
Honest about scale
We will tell you if a project is bigger than we should take on. Saying no to the wrong job is how we keep the reputation the reviews describe.
The price holds
Every review we have mentions a fair price that was kept to. On a build this is not a nicety — it is the whole relationship.
Common Questions
Yes, and that is the usual case for us. What we will want to look at early is access for machinery and materials, where the utilities come from, how the ground drains and how the house should sit on the plot. Those four things shape the cost more than almost anything in the plans, and they are far cheaper to work out before the design is fixed.
Yes. Bring what you have and we will go through it with you and tell you what it will cost to build as drawn, plus anything in it we think will cause trouble on your particular site. If you do not have plans yet, we will talk through what you want the house to do before anyone draws anything.
Longer than anyone wants, and honestly it depends on size, site, permitting and how much of the specification is decided before we start. The single biggest cause of delay on builds this size is decisions being made late — fixtures, finishes and layout changes after framing. We will give you a schedule and tell you which decisions are on the critical path.
No, and we would rather say that up front. We are a small crew and the owner is on site; that is the strength for a single home on its own land, and it is the wrong shape for volume work on a developer's schedule. If that is what you need, we are not the right call.
Yes, and it is much cheaper to do it that way. A carport, pole barn or shop planned in from the start shares the site work, the machinery and the material deliveries with the house. Post-frame structures are our core trade, so this is not something we are subcontracting.
A written scope with the specification and the materials named, and a price against it. Where an allowance is genuinely necessary — because you have not chosen a finish yet — it is shown as an allowance rather than buried, so you can see which parts of the number are fixed and which will move when you decide.
