One option for the basement or stem walls for a crawlspace, would be to use Insulated Concrete Forms. These
forms offer a superior insulation rating (R50) and are very cost effective for this purpose, even if you choose
not to use the ICFs for all exterior walls.
Many framers use "Hem-fir" lumber because it's soft and easy to work with. We use Douglas Fir, a
harder wood, that provides more strength and maintains it's structural integrity. We don't believe using
inferior products or cutting corners, and it shows in our finished homes and
satisfied customers.
Another option to consider is to use beams and I-joists for roof construction rather than trusses.
Many people like the exposed beams and cathedral ceilings, which also give you the option for
fixed glass in the gables to provide a great passive solar advantage.
The attention we pay to details give your
home quality features that you won't see

We will guide you through every step of the process of
building the home of your dreams.  We know every detail of
