Building in Ranches at Rifle Ridge

This is tree-canopy acreage, and the design starts with the survey: which oaks stay, where the view opens, where the drive threads through. We place the house for the trees and the light, then plan the well site and the septic field around it.

Ten acres supports a house, a shop and a guest house without any of them feeling close. We design them as a set.

What building here with us looks like.

The same process we use everywhere, with what's specific to Ranches at Rifle Ridge handled up front.

Step one

We walk the lot first.

Slope, trees, the view corridor, where the driveway can enter, where the utilities come in. We do this before drawing anything so the plan fits the land instead of getting squeezed onto it.

Approvals

We run the review packet.

Elevations, materials, the site plan, septic where it applies. Where there's an architectural committee we prepare and submit it, and the final contract price waits until it's approved.

During the build

One person to call.

A milestone schedule you can follow and a single point of contact for the whole build. See the eight steps.
