Foundation

Sawtooth Mountain Builders Inc. believes in spending quality time with each client in the beginning of every project in order to develop the details of the venture, including touring homes they have built so you can gather ideas. For a custom home, if you already have the Winter Park area homesite selected, they can walk the lot with you to ascertain how best to situate the house to utilize the space and capitalize on any natural attributes.

Framework

If during the discovery process, it’s decided that Sawtooth Mountain Builders in your preferred builder, deeper discussion ensues to determine the project’s optimum timeline, along with finalizing the budget and desired design attributes. A pre-construction contract is solidified through intensive collaboration with the client surrounding every aspect of the home. This process is paramount in two ways: the first ensures that the customers’ desires coincide with their budget, and second, it ensures that once the project begins, most of the major decisions have been made and therefore the construction schedule flows unobstructed.

Project Preliminaries

At this stage, it’s all about logistics. Architects, surveyors, excavators, well/septic professionals and other local experts/subcontractors are brought on board in order to get the project underway. Sawtooth Mountain Builders will handle all of the preparation needed, including submitting utility applications, HOA architectural design review committees, engineering work, etc. while finalizing the budget, schedules and specs to fit the evolving design. Sawtooth Mountain Builders, Inc. will commit to starting the project on-time, and will continue to earn trust and respect by offering transparent cost summaries to the client from start to finish. Open communication is constant. Once the design is finalized, the next step is to actualize the plans by breaking ground.
