BUILDING YOUR DREAM HOME

For many, the idea of actually committing to building the home of their dreams is too frightening and intimidating. But Stuart and Sally not only love building homes, they’ve followed their dreams and have been personally involved in numerous construction projects. Stuart and Sally understand the process that begins with the basic concept of what one’s very personal dream home might be like to the exciting day when the home is finished and the moving truck arrives to begin unloading the furniture. This is a unique process that takes, generally, between 18 to 30 months, but it all begins with desire. For many of our clients, the opportunity to move to the Bozeman community is also the inspiration for creating a very distinctive and personal home exactly suited to their lifestyle and family requirements.


It’s not unusual that new transplants to Bozeman or even natives seeking to finally live in their dream setting, ask Stuart and Sally to facilitate creating that special home, often starting by finding the ideal home site.


Working as a team, Stuart and Sally will obtain copies of any covenants and connect you with proper legal representation to insure that you can, indeed, build what you have in mind on that acreage.


FROM THE GROUND UP

If you wish, we can also assist our clients in selecting the right architect. Bozeman and the surrounding area is home to many world-renowned architects; in fact, the deciding factor won’t be finding an architect, but the one who will best interpret and create your vision of your dream house.


Through experience, we have discovered that many times the architect and the style of the house will also dictate the best possible builder for the project. Bozeman and Big Sky are currently in the midst of a building boom, and finding competent, reliable contractors and sub-contractors is not always a given or easy. Because of our own construction projects and our relationships within the building community, Stuart and Sally know many of the builders, project managers, and property managers in Bozeman and the Gallatin Valley. We are able to facilitate your project to whatever extent you would like our expertise. As an example, Sally built her first 10,000-square foot dream home in Bozeman while she was still living in Kansas City.


Stuart first developed her interest in remodeling homes while still living in Washington, D.C. and has honed her skills while living in Bozeman. She has extensively remodeled two major Bozeman homes for her family. Both Stuart and Sally have direct knowledge of what needs to be done to build a beautiful luxury home while living far from the building site. Instead of being a daunting process, it can be a pleasurable task if done with proper guidance and planning, hiring the right team, and having the project properly supervised.


Stuart and Sally welcome the opportunity to help your dream become a reality! Below is a list of architects that we know, respect and, in many cases, have worked with ourselves, including links to their individual web sites.
