Want a build that stays on-plan and stays readable? That’s the whole point of disciplined sequencing.

Phase 1: Site Preparation & Foundation Layout

Excavation, layout, and base prep—because everything above depends on everything below.

Excavation and rock removal at the building site

Excavation & Rock Removal

Site work to establish clean lines and stable bearing conditions.

Footing layout with forms and rebar in place

Footing Layout

Forms and reinforcing staged to lock the footprint and structure locations.

Base preparation with material staging for subgrade and utilities

Base Prep & Staging

Subgrade prep and material staging before vertical work begins.

Phase 2: Primary Structural Framing

Wall systems go up, lines get squared, structure starts telling the truth.

Rough framing in progress with wall lines established

Rough Framing

Primary wall framing set plumb and aligned for roof geometry.

Sheathing started on the structure with openings framed

Sheathing & Openings

Sheathing progression stabilizes the structure and locks openings cleanly.

Night work on framing showing active jobsite progress

Sequenced Progress

When the plan is clear, progress stays steady—even late hours.

Phase 3: Roof System & Signature Detailing

Roof geometry, sightlines, and the details that separate “built” from “thrown together.”

Roof Deck Perspective

Roof system context and slope—real-world geometry on a real site.

Custom Rafter Tails

Signature exterior detail integrated into the structural roof system.

Exterior envelope nearing completion with weather-in progress

Envelope Progress

Structure and envelope come together before finish phases take over.

Phase 4: Finish Work & Final Result

Exterior nearing completion, interior finishes taking shape, and functional spaces becoming real.

Exterior Near Completion

Final exterior phases—details tightened and ready for finish wrap-up.

Interior kitchen wall and finish work in progress

Interior Finish Phase

Interior build-out with finish coordination and clean transitions.
