When you decide to build a custom home, choosing the right builder is paramount. Crosswater, a beautiful golf community in Sunriver, has specific requirements and opportunities that only an experienced builder like myself can fulfill. Here's why selecting a builder with local knowledge, such as myself, is essential:

Understanding Local Regulations

Central Oregon has its own set of regulations and building codes, particularly in exclusive communities like Crosswater. I hold Oregon Contractor License CCB #193427, ensuring that I am fully compliant with all local laws. This expertise helps streamline the planning and building process.

Personalized Design and Functionality

A custom home should be just that—customized to meet your needs. At Crosswater, we collaborate closely with clients to ensure each detail matches their vision. From choosing the right layout to selecting sustainable building materials, your preferences drive every decision we make.

Quality Craftsmanship

With more than 100 homes built throughout my career, I have established a reputation for excellence. My commitment to quality craftsmanship is evident in every home design. We incorporate innovative building techniques and sustainable practices, which earned me the prestigious Earth Hero Award.
