Like building a good high performance home, we’re on a mission to build a company that is better than the sum of its parts. It’s about the intentional design around good people, a collaboration of ideas, of finding the right framework and vision for what we stand for. It’s been a work in progress since 1955, but over those almost 70 years we’ve learned that quality people build quality homes, and quality homes equal a better community.

Though we don’t know exactly what the future holds, we do know that our model of a worker owned cooperative is the way to go. The model allows us to find and work with those quality people we need to succeed. As of today, we have 21 employees, and 12 of those are worker/owners with two more on the way. By designing a company where everyone can own a piece, we can in turn provide better outcomes for our clients and our community. We think this is a good thing, and the homes we build are a proven testament to that.

Head on over and meet our people here. We think you’ll like who you see.
