It isn't hard to find a contractor willing to build your custom project. Affording the bid is another matter. Take a look at any truly exceptional contractor's own house and you will understand just why home improvement projects cost so much. General contractors make huge profits.

The problem a lot of people run into is that there is no middle ground between the do-it-yourself project and one handled by a contracting firm. It's an all or nothing atmosphere that suits the hands-off customer... or the extremely well funded. For the rest of you, the choice is often to either to scale back the scope of the project, postpone, or abandon the idea altogether.

Enter The Constructionist . I believe that there is a better way to efficiently handle your building or remodeling needs without making you decide which aspects of your design you can't afford.

We can accomplish this is various ways:
    - We encourage the use of your own sub-contractors. If you have a friend or family member that can be used, by all means use them! It's generally cheaper and makes for good brownie points.
    -We try to handle all of the design aspects in house, between you and us, avoiding paying a 3rd party designer.
    - Since we cater to homeowners not afraid to be involved in the process, in many situations you can actually perform some tasks yourself! Save the money of paying someone else to do something you can do yourself.
