Custom home construction involves many complex variables. Making informed decisions on developing a suitable design, selecting the right materials and keeping on budget can be challenging for most clients. Aspen Home Builders can help you with every stage of the building process, including hiring the right subcontractors and trades. We can manage your custom home project from start to finish.

New Home Construction

Aspen Home Builders is experienced in working on custom home projects of various types and sizes. Homes have become more complex over the years and building code requirements more stringent. This has affected the timeframe it takes to obtain building permits in the Aspen area.

Many of our customers have found that it is helpful to understand the building process before construction begins. Aspen Home Builders gives you realistic expectations and can help you make informed decisions about what is involved in construction in the following areas:

• Site specific design and material selection
• Budget preparation
• Building permits and approvals
• Site preparation and improvement
• Installation of foundations
• Completing the basic structure of the home
• Finishing the interior of the home

The cost to complete your home to occupancy will be dependent on the size, location and complexity of the project. The time taken, availability and quality of trades-people used will affect the labor component. The reality is that it is more important to consider the value of work being done than simply choosing trades based on a low hourly rate.

Choosing the right people can save on a lot of labor cost and fixing problems later on. Generally the use of higher quality material gives you a better finished result, less waste and lower maintenance as well as substantial cost savings during construction. Aspen Home Builders uses best construction practices in all of their projects.

Home Additions

Aspen Home Builders uses up-to-date, energy-efficient design and construction practices that consider lifestyle needs and can increase the value of your property.

It is important to make sure that your addition is structurally sound, meets your living requirements and looks like an integral part of the existing home. You may find that you will need to repair any existing structural problems and upgrade services in the process. This will prolong the life of your home and make the addition look and feel better.

When planning a new home addition, you should be aware that your existing house is much more than just four walls and a roof. It is an interactive system made up of many components including the basic structure, heating, ventilating and air conditioning equipment as well as the external environment. Each component influences the performance of the entire system and some additions may require structural changes.

Aspen Home Builders has the expertise and experience to bring your project to a successful outcome.

Our Expertise

Aspen Home Builders has many years of experience in the Aspen area, which allows us to successfully complete any complex home construction project. Our customers have relied on our expertise to build a new home or make a major addition to their existing home.

Construction is largely a sequential process. A variety of professional resources with a wide range of expertise is needed to complete a project successfully. They need to be available at the right time and be able to work together at different stages of the project. For example, when building components or manpower is not available at the jobsite when needed, it will cause delays. Aspen Home Builders has the expertise to make the construction process go more smoothly and efficiently.

Shortcuts on material and labor will affect the outcome of the entire project. The cost to fix problems caused by the use of substandard materials or incorrect application can be substantial. Using the right materials and hiring the right expertise means a much better finished result and more value in your home.

Some of the more crucial areas where expertise is needed include:

• Obtaining permits and approvals
• Design and material selection
• Structural load bearing and other engineering requirements
• Assembling the right human resources
• Constructing the home to meet building code standards
• Controlling and managing the project

In the construction of custom homes and major additions, all projects have different challenges. Aspen Home Builders understands that the key to a successful outcome is to finalize your design and select the right materials before work starts.

Working with Aspen Home Builders gives you the confidence that your project will go smoothly.

Design and Construction Options

The design you choose will determine what kind of construction method needs to be used to build the home. More complex structures can include elements of post and beam or timber-frame construction combined with conventional framing. Homes can also include solid log rafter systems instead of posts and timbers. This means that different structural techniques are needed to support the roof and floors.

All structures have the advantage of being able to incorporate open plan living, vaulted ceilings and large expanses of glass to maximize the use of natural light. Although they are a little more costly to build than conventional homes, they generally have a much higher appraised value.

Aspen Home Builders can help you determine the right kind of design for your budget. Your choices of design, materials and construction method also play a major role in the look and feel of the finished home.

Building different types of homes takes special skill sets. Aspen Home Builders is capable of building a wide variety of custom homes and uses premium quality building materials to give you a better-finished result.
