Blue Ribbon Builders Process - Blue Ribbon Builders

Our Process

A REFINED AND COLLABORATIVE PROCESS BACKED BY UNMATCHED EXPERTISE

Blue Ribbon Builders cares about the project, the process, and the results just as much as our clients do.

Blue Ribbon provides full-service building backed by our mastery of the nuances of building in complex terrain for the benefit of both clients and architects. We know mountain construction — we know how to maximize our clients’ enjoyment of the indoor and outdoor opportunities to relax and play. Ultimately, we bring specific expertise to the table — what we offer is peace of mind.

Blue Ribbon’s services are comprehensive, and extend far beyond just construction — from walking undeveloped lots in pre-construction to managing longterm property maintenance, our partners appreciate the detailed, accurate cost estimates and scheduling services unique to Blue Ribbon Builders.

“QUALITY AND INTEGRITY” — EASY TO SAY, BUT HARDER TO ACCOMPLISH. AND THAT’S WHAT BLUE RIBBON BUILDERS DOES, EVERY SINGLE DAY.

PRE-CONSTRUCTION

Long before the construction process starts, Blue Ribbon Builders gives thoughtful attention to both the big picture and the small, but critical, details. From the beginning, our process integrates collaboration, creativity, and strategic planning.

Setting a building on a piece of land is a process that requires careful attention to both aesthetics and logistics.

How can we capture the best views, find the water source, determine the most suitable ground for the septic system, and gain access according to the natural contours of the land, all while minimizing the project’s cost and footprint upon the environment?

Our expertise and experience ensure your house is located and oriented in a way that makes sense technically and amplifies the beauty of the home.

Blue Ribbon Builders provides unique insights during the team building process. We offer practical support through our connections with trusted and highly talented architects, interior designers, and thrive in a collaborative role alongside both longtime project partners and new professional colleagues.

Guiding you through the pros and cons of team building decisions as well as assisting with the selection process, Blue Ribbon Builders will help you build a team of established professional consultants ideal for your unique project.

Value Engineering is the process by which Blue Ribbon Builders helps to elevate the design phase from the very beginning. Relying on over four decades of company expertise and countless years of individual experience through our extremely talented staff, Blue Ribbon Builders can help guide the design implementation and execution to be the most efficient both in terms of time and materials, and therefore cost-effective to build and maintain.

POST-CONSTRUCTION

We build for life. The timelessness and longevity of a Blue Ribbon build include ongoing management, maintenance, and support. We work proactively to ensure every element of your home is attuned to your lifestyle — in perfect condition for decades to come. Whether you need property management or appliance warranty support, our team steps up and leans in. Should the future hold a new vision for your home, Blue Ribbon will help guide you through the remodeling process.

As part of the Blue Ribbon Builders project completion program, we complete a detailed job shut down procedure to ensure you are completely satisfied with the project. As part of our closeout services, we provide equipment training and operating manuals along with all warranty information and systems contacts. Once the project is complete, Blue Ribbon Builders stands behind our work 100%.

We will develop specific maintenance schedules and programs designed to prolong the life of each element of the home. We can then provide all the maintenance and monitoring for your home to ensure the continued value of your investment.

Blue Ribbon Builders will be here for recurring small projects, from adding that built in bookshelf that you originally decided against or completing the unfinished apartment above the garage that the budget wouldn’t allow. You can rest assured that the Blue Ribbon Builders service team will be here to help with your continued construction needs for years to come.
