Jackson Hole Builders Saving You Money

Jackson Hole Builders Spring Into Action
Jackson Hole cabin under glorious Spring sunshine.

It’s here.  Spring.  The glorious time of year where us mountain dwelling creatures come out of hibernation and bask in the glory of the sun for more than 5 hours a day.  Like true Jackson Hole builders you may know that we are like the postal service – we aren’t stopped by rain, snow nor sleet.  If timed properly we can save you money on your project by letting mother nature work on your behalf.

Inclement weather does bring a slight decrease in productivity on any job outdoors.  After all, it does take time to shovel snow off our materials at a job site when a three foot snowstorm rolls through the valley.  Framers can’t work as fast with driving rain and sleet.  So after our morning snow removal or weather abatement is done our team is as diligent as ever in working towards completing a log home of timber frame project in Jackson Hole.

Jackson Hole builders aren’t scared of the elements.  The variable weather is part of the reason that we love to live in the Rockies.  However, there are components of the construction phases that make sense to start when the weather is nice.  For example, excavation takes less time and can save you money if done during the Spring or Summer months. Similarly, framing can be done much more efficiently during the long days of summer when snow disturbances aren’t a factor.  You get the picture, I’m sure.

So if you are looking at Teton Heritage Builders to be the Jackson Hole builders for your next project we encourage you to call us on the phone or send us an email to talk about the best timeline for completing your project at the lowest cost.  Teton Heritage Builders has been in business for 17 years in Jackson Hole and have been through many iterations of scheduling.  We know how to get your project done on time and at the right price.  Let us help guide you in building your dream cabin in the Jackson Hole.

Should I Hire An Architect?

Granite Ridge Home During the planning stages of the building process you will probably ask yourself this question at one point: “Should I hire an architect?”  After building Jackson Hole and Big Sky custom homes for 17 years we have come across every type of homeowner.  From those that want to be involved in every step of the process to those who live far away and can’t wait to show up to their finished retreat.  Some want a design-build home and others want an architect to design the full spectrum of their project.  No matter what category you think that you may fall into you should investigate this topic.

There are many aspects to consider before hiring an architect for your building project, whether it is a new construction, remodel, residential or commercial building.  Some people make the mistake of taking on building projects that are beyond their scope of skills and understanding.  So we offer you nine reasons to consider when deciding “should I hire an architect”  for your project.

The topics we cover in this free white paper include Education And Experience, Vision, Creative Problem Solving, Prioritizing Building Goals, Cost Conciousness, Environmental Responsibility, Identifying Personal Needs, Clear Communication, and Project Management.  

We encourage you to visit our page and download this free guide.  It is written to help any prospective homeowner make a big decision in their home building quest.  We could go write a book on this subject, but we thought it was more appropriate to boil our knowledge down into a concise article to help guide your thoughts.

So download our paper and share with your friends.  Ask for advice from your trusted friends and maybe even call up a local architect to get their input on the matter.  Home building is an involved and lengthy process and it is important to make sure you are going down the correct path.

Spring Building in Jackson Hole

Spring Time in Jackson Hole
Bags on in the Rocky Mountain sunshine.

It’s no secret that building can be tricky during the winter months in the Rockies.  And now that March is here we are transitioning into our much anticipated phases of Spring building in Jackson Hole.  It’s a glorious fight with the weather each and every day.  Some days it is snowing and we have to spend time digging to get to our materials.  The next day it might be raining.  Some days a combination of rain and snow.  And other days are the blue-bird, sunny days that every builder yearns for.

This picture was taken on Monday at one of our newest job sites just Southwest of Jackson Hole.  It’s exactly this type of Spring day that gets us even more motivated than usual to get up on an exposed roof and ramp up production.

Here’s to a long season full of gorgeous Jackson Hole sunshine!
