New Home Construction in Phoenix, AZ

Framing finishes on a Tuesday. The electrician cannot start until the following Monday because another job overran. The inspector is then booked out four days, and drywall was scheduled around a date that no longer exists. Nobody did anything wrong, and the house is two weeks late.

That pattern repeats at every handoff, and on a ground-up build there are dozens of them. It is why two builders quoting the same house with the same crew count can deliver three months apart.

We hold the general, electrical, plumbing and HVAC licenses and own our excavation fleet, so most of those handoffs are internal. When framing finishes early, the rough-in moves up the same week.

Every subcontracted trade carries a markup, and on a full custom home there are a lot of them. Self-performing the four biggest removes that layer on the largest line items rather than the smallest.

More importantly it makes the number predictable. Subcontractor pricing moves between bid and mobilisation, especially on a build that runs the better part of a year. Ours does not, because it is ours.

Change orders are priced and signed before the work happens. Predictable draws, a published timeline, and one license across every trade mean the build tends to hit the numbers it was penciled at.

Building a custom home is likely the largest contract you will sign outside a mortgage. The Arizona Registrar of Contractors license behind it is what gives you recourse if it goes wrong: a bond to claim against and a state complaints process, rather than only a civil suit at your own cost.

Our general contracting license is KBI, ROC #331028, and the trade licenses are held separately in our own name. You can verify all of them at azroc.gov in about a minute, and we would encourage you to.
