About the Builder

Thank you for taking the time to look further, I hope you have seen my photos and appreciate the variety of work. While you will see many new homes and additions there is a lot more that goes on behind these pictures that indicate the level of planning and understanding related issues I am a hands on builder, meaning that I will be on the job every day. Nothing is worse than a client finding that the job is unsupervised or that the builder they have hired is involved in multiple projects. I have built over 60 new homes and major additions. My projects have included. • Ocean front homes involving many levels of state and local review. • Custom additions tied into a historic house. • Moving existing homes to attach to an addition. • Experience with removal of ledge and blasting. • Utilizing welded steel structures . • Understanding the benefits and limitations of engineered wood beams. With my background and education as an engineer, I have full confidence working with mechanical subcontractors. I also have much experience understanding the difference between plans drawn by an Architect versus plans drawn by a designer and when one is better suited for a particular project. An experienced builder will take the bumps out of the road. Particularly when there are changes that are site driven or a changed by the client. In short there is very little difference between what lumber yards charge for their materials and how builders/general contractors price out their services. The most important component is finding a builder with a proven track record of completing a wide variety of projects on time and on budget. References are available upon request.
