The home building experience
1) You Dream It, We'll Design It.
From the very start, you’ll work directly with owner, Mark
Garland, to create the home of your dreams. From helping you
choose a neighborhood and lot to developing a custom floor
plan with your desired amenities, Mark will consult and
partner with you throughout the entire planning process.
2) Let The Pricing Begin
Once your plans are drafted and approved, Mark will price
out all materials, labor, and options for you. As an 18+
year veteran of the business, Mark knows where to obtain the
highest quality materials at the best prices. He only awards
his work to quality crews of skilled craftsmen who take
pride in their work – and it shows. Mark will consult with
you on the final costs before drafting the final bid
3) Contacts and Commitments
Once all bids are received and approved, Mark will draft a
final contract then meet with you and your realtor. Once the
contract is signed, we’re ready to begin building the home
