The process of selecting a home site, interviewing home designers and general contractors
is a huge time consuming and complicated process for anyone including the most
experienced home building clients. This is never more true than for customers that are
pursuing their vision of a custom "one of a kind " luxury home. This is principally due to the
challenges of developing a trustworthy design team (designer, general contractor) that is
like minded in their design goals and can function as a team. The design teams purpose
should be in transforming their clients dream like image into a functional and purposeful
product. Developing functional and tailored living space is both a science and art. It is a
very subjective process that is dependent upon the owners ability to articulate their visions
and lifestyle needs, which is the basis of a custom "one of a kind " luxury home. The success
of the design project is contingent upon trust, open communication, good listen skills and a
passion for designing a unique product that will serve their clients interest.
Marwood Construction strives to reach these goals with our distinguished clients. Our
design build team shares the 38 years of diverse and unique building styles and methods in
our contribution of our uniquely distinctive construction experience and process
knowledge to every project.
