Comparing Construction Methods

Choosing the right construction method sets the foundation for the entire project. Our system-built approach highlights open architecture, exposed timbers, and spaces filled with light — offering both durability and design flexibility.

Traditional construction often focuses on cost alone, but we believe every home deserves both strength and beauty. By comparing these methods, you’ll see how our process balances art and craftsmanship, creating spaces that match your vision and stand apart in Buffalo’s residential communities.

What People Are Saying

Our clients speak to the honor we feel in being trusted with their homes, praising our transparency, commitment, and the award-winning spaces we bring to life.

We had the pleasure of working with Chris on our Lindal custom home. His knowledge on every aspect of home building was invaluable and his patience with us asking so many questions and sending countless emails was incredible. He always advised us candidly about the pros and cons of every decision and advocated for us like it was his own home. Our project is on hold for now but when we resume, Chris will be our first call.

We worked with Chris on designs for a custom home and he was fantastic at going over all the options of the entire process. He was always very quick to answer all questions and was very knowledgeable on every aspect. Highly recommend!

Chris is very helpful and knowledgeable. I reached out to him after my parents lost their home to a fire to start discussing a rebuild. He was quick and thorough in responses to questions. In the end my parents decided to go a different route for their house, but I have no doubt that he would remain helpful and readily accessible throughout the build process too!

We were looking to build a vacation home and Chris was very helpful initiating the process. This is our first time building a new home and Chris was very thorough in explaining the process from start to finish. He looked at our lot, guided us through the process and put together a proposal.

I’ve been using Chris for design services for over 20 years. He’s trustworthy, always delivered on what he promised, and is always willing to go above and beyond. I hire him for all the difficult projects I need done.
