Lead carpenter on site every day
Not a project manager checking in. The lead carpenter is on your site full-time, in the same boots, swinging the same hammer. The detail you see is the detail they swing.
PROCESS · 4 PHASES · 18 — 30 MOSAME ON EVERY PROJECTSINGLE PROJECT LEAD · LIFE OF THE HOME
Same process,
every house.
From first conversation to keys in hand is 18 — 30 months. We follow the same four-phase process on every project · the same project lead carries you from discovery through year-five checkup · the same lead carpenter swings the hammer for the duration. Continuity is the principle.

PRINCIPLES
PHASE
PRINCIPLES · 6 NON-NEGOTIABLES
Six
non-negotiables.
Lead carpenter on site daily. Single project lead. Transparent budget. Weekly site meeting. GMP standard. Annual checkup for life. Six principles that hold the work to a standard you'd expect of a 21-year-old studio that takes 12 projects a year.
Single project lead
One person carries you from discovery through year-five steward checkup. They know your ductwork, your spouse's reading nook preferences, the sub who set the granite. Continuity matters.
Transparent budget tracker
Live budget in a shared spreadsheet. You see every change order before it's executed. Allowances tracked weekly. Surprises are bad business; we engineer them out.
Weekly site meeting
Every project. Same time, same day, every week. With the project lead, lead carpenter, and you. Notes filed. Decisions made. Things move forward.
GMP standard on construction
Guaranteed Maximum Price contract. We carry the cost-overrun risk above the GMP. Aligns incentives. Standard on construction services engagements.
Annual building checkup
For the life of the home. We come back annually to check moisture, mechanicals, finishes, exterior. Catches small problems before they're big ones. Free, forever.
