Frequently Asked Questions

Residential construction is a major investment—and we know how many questions come with it. Here are some of the most common questions homeowners in Longmont and the surrounding areas ask before starting a new build.

Q: How long does it take to complete a full home construction in Longmont?

A: Most full home construction projects in Longmont take between 8–12 months, depending on factors like lot conditions, project complexity, weather, and permitting timelines. Larger custom builds can take longer, but we always provide a detailed timeline during the planning phase so you know what to expect. We also buffer in time for inspections, material lead times, and any changes to the scope.

Q: What do I need before starting the construction process?

A: You’ll need to have a plot of land (or be in the process of acquiring one), a general idea of your desired home layout and size, and a realistic budget. If you have architectural plans, great—if not, we can help coordinate that part of the process. From there, we’ll handle the permitting, site prep, utility setup, and more.

Q: Can you help with zoning and permits in my town?

A: Yes. We’re very familiar with building codes and permit processes in Longmont, Niwot, Lafayette, Fort Collins, Brighton, and surrounding jurisdictions. We handle all permit applications and required documentation to ensure everything is approved and scheduled properly.

Q: What makes you different from other general contractors in Colorado?

A: We’re small enough to be personal, but experienced enough to handle complex projects. You won’t get passed between salespeople or multiple supervisors. Josh Brooks, the owner, remains actively involved in every project. Our transparency, project communication, and commitment to quality are what clients mention most in their reviews—and we stand behind our work long after the final walkthrough.
