Collaborative Building – How We Work

To begin with, we divide the construction of the residence into 2 phases – the SHELL phase and the FINISHES phase.

The SHELL phase includes everything from foundation through drywall and is completed by EquityQuest Homes.  Our shells are built to last lifetimes, and we take pride in their design and construction and trust these processes only to our proven network of high-quality suppliers and contractors.  Exceptions to this policy can be made at the request of the homeowner (conditions apply).
