Detached mountain-modern studio building with timber and metal siding in Western Colorado — project inspiration

New Builds

Custom Detached Structures Built From the Ground Up

Guest houses, detached offices, studios, workshops, garages, pool houses, and pavilions designed for your property and built to residential quality — planned, permitted, and managed as one project.

How this works

Purpose-Built Structures, Not Commodity Sheds

Start with the structure type that fits your property and how you plan to use it. We review site conditions, access, utilities, and zoning, then return a written scope covering design, foundation, framing, finishes, and systems.

Investment

Every advertised new build starts at $15,000 or more. Where a responsible starting number has not been confirmed, the category shows Custom scope. Site work, utilities, foundation type, size, finish level, and permitting determine final investment.

Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

A standalone structure built from the ground up — a guest house or casita, detached office, studio, workshop, garage, pool house, pavilion, greenhouse, or specialty outbuilding. These are custom, permitted structures, not shed kits or prefab units.

  • Planning and design: 3 to 8 weeks — depends on site evaluation, engineering, and how fast the footprint and finish level are locked.
  • Permits: 4 to 12 weeks — depends on jurisdiction, zoning and setbacks, ADU review, and septic or utility approvals.
  • Build: 8 to 20 weeks — depends on excavation, foundation, framing and truss lead times, weather, and utility trenching.
  • Finish: 3 to 8 weeks — depends on mechanical, insulation, interior finishes, and any kitchen or bath scope.
  • Inspection and closeout: 2 to 4 weeks — depends on inspection scheduling, final grading and flatwork, and punch list.

Project request

Request a Project Review

Tell us about the property and the structure you have in mind. Site photos, desired size and location on the lot, plot plans, HOA information, and utility details all speed up the review.

Submission of a request does not guarantee availability, pricing, or acceptance of the project.
