Project case study
One full custom build on a wooded lot, photographed stage by stage: excavation and slab through framing, roof, envelope and siding, finished with board-and-batten and dark metal accents.
This was a full custom home build on a wooded lot: everything from the first machine on site to the finished exterior was carried out under one contract, with one point of contact for the client throughout.
The photographs below run in construction order. They are the actual progress photos from the job, not staged marketing shots, which is also how clients see a build in progress. We send updates with photos as the work moves.
Everything in the full custom build scope applied to this house: site evaluation and foundation, framing and envelope, windows and cladding, mechanical and insulation, interior finishing, and the final walkthrough with a deficiency list.
Stage by stage
Six stages, in order. Select any photo to view it full size.
The slab poured and cured, ready for framing. Site evaluation, excavation and the foundation are all part of the build scope, so the first thing that happens on the lot is already our responsibility rather than something the client has to arrange.
Exterior walls framed and standing. This is the stage where a set of drawings stops being abstract, and it is the point at which square framing either has been done properly or has not.
Trusses set and sheathed with the scaffolding still up. Getting a roof on promptly is what protects everything that follows it from the weather.
Fully sheathed and wrapped, ready for cladding. The building envelope is the part nobody sees once the siding goes on, and it is the part that decides what the house costs to heat for the next thirty years.
The garage finished in dark cladding with a new overhead door, detailed to match the house rather than treated as an afterthought.
The finished home across a graded and seeded lawn. Board-and-batten siding with dark metal accents, on a wooded lot.
