WHAT WE DO

Everything . . . you can be as involved or not involved as you wish.   We take care of A to Z.

​

Whether you're building a 50,000 ft mansion or a small shed, the same processes are involved:  inspection of property, design, permit submission and approval, site preparation, foundation, utility connection for water, electricity, and sewer, installation of unit, obtaining a certificate of occupancy.    

 

The major difference with Backyard Homes West is design and time.  We try to make this as easy as possible.   Once you select the model, we provide you with an "Options" list where you select siding, colors, flooring, window and door positions, and options like a washer/dryer.  We take care of the rest.

​

Lastly . . . Time.   Your time is valuable and our time is valuable.  Assuming the City inspections are done on a timely basis, we'll deliver your home from the time permits are obtained and escrow is funded between 4 and 9 months depending on construction type.
