Building a custom home requires expertise in the local area. Having spent most of my life in Ithaca and working in the construction industry for years, I understand the nuances of building in this region.

When choosing a builder, it's crucial to find someone who can help you locate land, design your dream home within budget, and incorporate the specific details we've discussed.

I prioritize a client-focused approach, ensuring your needs are met while navigating the requirements of building departments in Tompkins County.

Our building process typically involves:

  1. Identifying your requirements, such as lot size, location within the county, and preferred school district, to match your vision for the home.

  2. Collaboratively designing the house, starting with rough sketches and refining them until we achieve a suitable design.

  3. Signing a drawing contract encompassing architectural drawings, specifications, and a construction agreement.

  4. Detailing the house plans, including windows, doors, roofing, siding, kitchen features, flooring, and finishing touches.

  5. Finalizing drawings with comprehensive plans, elevations, schedules, and specifications for submission to the bank, engineer, and building department.

Regardless of the house size, our philosophy is to customize homes to reflect your preferences, allowing you to create a space that truly feels like yours.
