At Bowker Builders, if you can dream it, we can build it.  We’ve got you coved through all stages of the building process. From the initial planning, design, permitting, site preparations, construction, and inspections. Our goal is to make your vision become a reality in the most seamless, stress-free way possible. From the moment you begin working with us, you will be given hands-on 24/7 support for your project with team members who pride themselves in their craftsmanship, work ethic, and customer service. 

Initial Planning and Design: The process begins with thorough planning and design discussions between you, our client, architects, designers, and the construction team. This stage involves conceptualizing the layout, floor plans, architectural style, materials, and overall vision for your new home.

Permitting and Approvals: Before construction can commence, obtaining necessary permits and approvals from local authorities is crucial, but don’t worry that’s our job. This includes zoning permits, building permits, environmental clearances, and any other regulatory requirements specific to the construction site.

Site Preparation: Once permits are secured, our construction team will prepare the site by clearing vegetation, leveling the land, installing utility connections (water, sewer, electricity), and establishing a foundation for your new home. This phase sets the groundwork for the construction process.

Construction Phases: Depending on the type of home you decide to build there can be various phases of construction that you can observe through our project management software to make sure things are getting done exactly how you want. Some of these construction phases may include:

• Foundation and Framing: The foundation is laid, which can be a slab, crawl space, or basement, depending on the design and local building codes. Then, the framing begins, creating the skeletal structure of the home with walls, floors, and roof systems.
• Exterior Work: This includes installing windows, doors, roofing, siding, and exterior finishes to weatherproof the home and enhance its aesthetics.
• Interior Work: Electrical, plumbing, HVAC systems, insulation, drywall, flooring, and interior finishes are installed to create functional and visually appealing living spaces.
• Finishing Touches: Final touches such as painting, cabinetry, countertops, fixtures, lighting, and landscaping are added to complete the home and make it move-in ready.

Quality Control and Inspections: Quality is of the utmost importance in everything we do here at Bowker Builders. Throughout the construction process, quality control measures are implemented to ensure structural integrity, adherence to building codes, and high-quality craftsmanship. Inspections by building officials and third-party inspectors are conducted at key milestones to verify compliance and safety standards.

Client Collaboration: When we start a project with you, we want to make sure everything is perfect and exactly how you want it. Because of this, we allow our clients to be involved in the building process every step of the way. We are partnered with a project management software called Buildertrend which allows you to see real-time updates on your custom project from the comfort of your home. You will be fully informed with regular updates, progress reports, and opportunities to make decisions on design elements, finishes, and customization options.

Completion and Handover: Once construction is complete, a final walkthrough addresses any remaining tasks or touch-ups. Then, the home is yours to enjoy, accompanied by the necessary documentation, warranties, and maintenance guidelines.

Our ground-up construction service offers you the opportunity to create a custom-designed home tailored to your preferences, lifestyle, and functional needs, resulting in a unique and personalized living space from the ground up.
