Highland Builders

At Highland Builders, we are more than just a construction company. We are a team of professionals dedicated to creating custom homes that exceed our clients' expectations. Our story began when two like-minded individuals, Todd Wolff and Shane Pionkowski, came together to form a company that would prioritize quality, value, integrity, and clarity in every project. With a shared passion for architecture and engineering, they drew upon their extensive experience in the construction industry to create a unique approach to homebuilding.

Our Custom Home Building Process

At Highland Builders, we understand that every home is unique, and we take pride in creating custom homes that reflect our clients' personalities and lifestyles. Our custom home design process is designed to bring your vision to life, whether you're looking for a modern farmhouse or a sleek contemporary home.

Step 1: Gathering Information

Our process begins by gathering information about your lifestyle, preferences, and design goals. We accomplish this through a comprehensive questionnaire, photo examples, and an initial meet-up to discuss your needs and priorities.

Step 2: Schematic Design

Once we have established the scope of the home and the preliminary budget, we can start the design process. At this stage, we sign a "Schematic Design Contract" with you, which outlines the scope of work and a preliminary budget.

Step 3: Final Design

In our final design phase, we finalize the home's design, including elevations, floor plans, and specifications. This is the final stage before we begin construction.

Conclusion

At Highland Builders, we are committed to delivering exceptional custom homes that exceed our clients' expectations. With a focus on quality, value, integrity, and clarity, we strive to create homes that not only meet but also exceed our clients' dreams. Whether you're looking to build your dream home or simply need a trusted partner for your remodeling project, we invite you to explore how we can help you achieve your vision.
