New Home Builder in Olympia, WA

Yes. Olympia is about 18 miles northwest of our base in Rainier, well inside our 100-mile service area. Greg handles new homes on your land, ramblers and two-story homes there, and the estimate is free.

It depends on the project. When one is needed, Greg pulls the permit from the City of Olympia's building department and builds to whatever the permit and inspection require.

It depends on the size of the home, how long permit review takes where you live, the season and how quickly finish selections are made. Greg lays out a schedule at the start and keeps you posted as each stage is done. Making your selections early is the best way to keep the job moving.

Often it does. Many lots here have glacial till or clay that drains poorly, a high water table in winter, or wetlands and slopes the county wants protected. We look at all of that up front, plan the drainage and foundation to suit, and schedule earthwork for drier stretches when we can. Getting the site right is what keeps a crawlspace dry year after year.

The size of the house, the plan and the finishes set most of the price, and the lot sets the rest. Clearing, a long driveway, grading and foundation work for poor soil can add a lot on rural land, while a ready lot in a neighborhood adds very little. Greg's free estimate comes after he has walked the lot, so the number covers the site work as well as the house.

No. Greg can look at a lot you are considering and point out what would affect building on it, like access, slope, soil or drainage. That visit can keep you from buying a lot that is expensive to build on.
