Clay Construction

After reviewing 5 builders and seriously interviewing 3, Larry was most genuine.  His estimated cost was not the lowest, but it was most "real".  There are many good builders.  It is a tough decision selecting your builder.  I suggest going with someone reputable.  If possible, determine the project manager and site supervisor.  You will spend much time with these individuals for about 14 months.  Do you look forward to have coffee with these people?  Do you feel confident that they have your back?  Going with lower cost operations may end up costing you more in material and time.  More importantly, your final result may miss the mark.  We are halfway through our build and we are happy with our decision. While there hiccups, they are manageable and will not affect our goal. 

Our start date was 9 months after selecting Clay Construction.  Due to the delay, the expected site supervisor decided he could not stay on to complete the project due to retirement plans.  Shaun joined the project when the foundation was completing.  It has been awesome to have Shaun onboard.   He takes pride in the project, and he is very particular about building envelope.  Being on the west coast rain forest, I have full confidence in our build.  The success will be shared with the trades, but Shaun deserves kudos for his effort and expertise.  Furthermore, timing for the trades have been excellent.  I am hoping to finish with time to prepare for Christmas 2022. 

Daniel had to step up to fill many shoes due to work load.   With Shaun onboard, Daniel can focus on administrative details for our build.  Like Larry and Shaun, Daniel is always responsive.  Even for minor questions, after hours and weekends, Daniel is always prompt to respond.
