Our Services
Like every masterpiece, a beautiful home begins with a well-thought-out concept. JDK Builders is here to help bring your vision to life — and execute it with precision, organization, and care. From custom new construction to full-scale remodels, we deliver each build to the highest standard. Our deep experience in high-end construction and local real estate makes us a premier builder in the region. As a boutique firm, we provide a level of personal attention and guidance that larger operations simply can’t match.
We understand that building a home is one of the most meaningful investments you’ll make. Our goal is to make the process as seamless and stress-free as possible — for you and for everyone involved.
Together with all stakeholders, we:
Understand the scope
Estimate accurately
Document the process
Schedule effectively
Assemble the right team
— all to deliver a home that’s built to last, crafted to inspire, and designed around the way you live.
Understanding the Scope
In order to properly estimate a project, we need to know the Scope. The more information we have going into the project, the better we can provide you with the information you need. Our typical process includes meeting our Clients onsite or at our office, a kick-off meeting before the project begins with the Client, Architect, design team, and any other stakeholders.
Creating a proper plan before starting a project is key to staying within Scope and delivering the project on time and within budget.
Estimating
Every project begins with a clear and comprehensive estimate. Our estimates reflect the project’s defined scope and the current cost of materials and labor at the time of preparation.
Because building in the mountains often means adapting to the unexpected — from shifting weather conditions to material availability — we plan for contingencies from the start. At JDK Builders, we believe in transparency and preparation over surprises. We intentionally overestimate where appropriate to anticipate potential changes and minimize stress later in the process.
Your project costs are structured with clear, upfront deposits and open-book billing, ensuring full visibility from day one through completion.
Scheduling
Once any necessary value engineering is complete and the estimate is approved, we develop a detailed schedule outlining the project’s critical path. This schedule serves as our roadmap, helping every team member understand key milestones and dependencies.
We take pride in protecting that schedule — doing everything possible to meet critical deadlines and deliver on time. While changes along the way can affect both timeline and cost, clear communication and proactive management keep your project moving forward with precision and confidence.
Documenting
Accurate documentation is the foundation of clear communication. If a house walk or phone conversation results in a change to the project scope, we follow up with a recap email for your review and approval. Once confirmed, the update is dated and entered into our project management software — accessible to both our team and the client.
This process minimizes confusion, eliminates redundancy, and ensures that every decision is tracked and transparent from start to finish.
The Team
Our ideal team includes one decision maker — you — supported by a core crew: a designer, a project manager or supervisor, and, when the project calls for it, an architect and/or engineer. Each member brings a vital perspective, ensuring that your vision is translated seamlessly from concept to completion.
Working together, we communicate openly, solve challenges quickly, and move forward with confidence. The result: a home that reflects not just exceptional craftsmanship, but your unique lifestyle and dreams.
