Insta DETAILS

I like instagram because I can post little snippets of a tiny piece of a small detail on very big job. We are building high end luxury homes – they are a massive undertaking and take months to complete.

A custom home – what will it cost me?

It happens more than you think. We get an email or a phone call or a text – I am thinking of building a new home.  Can you give me a ballpark price? The short answer?

All the BITS AND PIECES

The biggest pieces of a custom built home or a large scale renovation is often the littlest stuff. Door hardware and faucets and baseboards (Oh my!).

The TRUTH about new home building

The truth about building a new home? It is not quick, it is not neat and it is not easy. It cannot be done in 48 hours or even 6 weeks. It s not a reality TV show, it is reality. Throughout a well run home building or large scale renovation project there may be… [Read More]
