Plan A Traditional Contracting for Home, Commercial Builds & Remodels

(Design & Build Process)

Design & Build gives you the design, planning, pricing, coordination and construction all from one source. A much better option than finding out later it’s going to cost you more then you planned!

(Prioritizing)

Decide what you absolutely need in your new home or space.

(Establish A Budget)

(Steps to a Successful Home Building / Remodeling Experience) Our process is somewhat different than you may be used to. We integrate all of the steps to provide you with a turn key project, incorporating process designed for success. The process requires good communication, honest, integrity on all sides; after all we spend a good amount of time together during the course of planning. Then we get to work with Preparation and Construction of the improvements to your Home or Building. We take that very seriously!


(Some Final Thoughts)

We are always amazed at the horror stories that happen to good people purely because they were looking for the “Best price and not necessarily the Best Contractor to fit their project.” When you walk into an Attorney’s, Doctor’s, Dentist’s, or Accountant’s office you expect to pay for Professional services you receive. “Why then wouldn’t you want a Professional Contractor working with you to improve one of your largest investments, your Home or Building?”

We have the experience, knowledge, and “Commitment” to professionally design, plan and build the project of your dreams.

Give us a call and judge for yourself. We’re looking forward to working with you!
