Custom home construction
Ground up build with architect coordination, permits, and full subcontractor management.
Building in Denver since 1998
You will know what week the drywall goes up
A real schedule, a fixed contract, and a Friday update with photos. Most of what goes wrong in construction is a communication failure, so we over communicate.

About the company
Owner run, with the owner on the site
Dan Marek started framing houses in 1998 and has run the company since 2004. He still walks every active job weekly. We run four projects at a time rather than twelve, which is why our superintendents are not spread across the metro and why subs actually show up when the schedule says they will.
•Four active projects maximum, so nobody is stretched
•Fixed price contracts with a written allowance schedule
•Change orders priced and signed before work proceeds
•Licensed and insured, references from the last ten projects
Reviews
Homeowners we built for
“Two change orders in a nine month build, both priced before anyone swung a hammer. Our neighbors had eleven with another builder.”
Fiona and Mark T., Custom home, Golden
“The Friday email with photos meant I never had to drive out to see whether anything happened that week.”
Raul S., Whole house remodel, Arvada
“They found a structural problem behind the old kitchen wall, stopped, showed me, and gave three options with prices.”
Judy A., Kitchen remodel, Littleton
FAQ
Questions about building
What does a project actually cost?
Custom homes in this market run from about $340 a square foot for straightforward work and climb well past $500 with high end finishes and difficult sites. Anyone giving you a firm number before seeing plans and the lot is guessing. We give a range after a site visit and a real bid after design.
How long will it take?
A custom home is nine to fourteen months from permit to certificate of occupancy, a whole house remodel is five to eight, and a kitchen is eight to twelve weeks. Permit review in some jurisdictions here adds two to three months on its own, and we build that into the schedule you sign.
How do change orders work?
Nothing gets built until you have seen the price and signed. If we open a wall and find something unexpected, work on that area stops, we photograph it, and you get options with costs. Allowances for tile, fixtures, and appliances are set in the contract so overruns are visible immediately.
Do you handle permits and the architect?
We pull all permits and coordinate inspections. For design we work with several architects and can bring one in, or build from plans you already have after a constructability review. That review often catches details that would become expensive change orders later.
