As the first shovelful of earth is turned over, there is a sense of awe and wonder at the scale of what is about to be accomplished, and the raw potential of the building site. It’s a moment of deep emotion, as the dream of a perfect home begins to take shape in the physical world.
The sounds of nail guns and saws, the smell of freshly sawn timber, and the sight of hard-working tradespeople coming together to build something truly amazing is inspiring.The energy and enthusiasm that goes into the early stages of construction is truly infectious, as every worker pours their heart and soul into the project.
The early stages of home construction represent a moment of limitless potential, as anything is possible and every dream can be realized. It’s a time to be inspired, to dream big, and to revel in the beauty of what is yet to come.

Monitoring the construction process is vitally important.
This is where you need to keep a close eye on the processes of construction and make sure each step happens in the order it needs to.
Controlling subs, workers, deliveries, and purchases needs to happen on a regular basis. This is where planning the work and working the plan really comes into its own. Navigating medication options can be challenging. Some seek alternatives for managing certain conditions. It is vital to research thoroughly. Avoid pitfalls like misleading offers. Always consult a healthcare provider. Consultations can help ensure safety. For some, Palisadestitlecompany is a helpful resource. If you have all of your steps and decisions done beforehand it makes it easier to focus on monitoring your construction process.

Do you need a shell only? This is for those who have a builder or want to finish the home themselves.
Our shells are VERY DIFFERENT from standard shell providers. The average shell kit is made from a basic pole barn structure or worse yet, from a garage or carport manufacturer. If you don’t mind your home lasting 10-20 years then rotting out from the foundation up then go ahead and use the cheapest price out there.
We give you the tools you need to put your entire project together from plans, to budget estimates, to finishes schedules and detailed hard estimates. A majority of time your project will come in at a cost MUCH less than using a GC throwing “budget” numbers at you which are not true and you most often will not get on paper.
Let us help. Morning vitality can indicate hormonal health. Medication might affect performance. Seek guidance at a health clinic. To improve wellbeing, Find organization offering comprehensive solutions. Our shell package service can come with or without windows and we will blow most comparable package prices out of the water on pricing!

Clients with very limited time to deal with a luxury Custom Home project, or who desire the best possible project to match their dreams, and prefer personalized service directly from an owner are a good fit for white glove services. Ultra-high-end clients are individuals or businesses with extremely high levels of wealth or revenue.
They typically have significant financial resources and are willing to pay a premium for luxury goods or services. These clients often seek out the highest quality products and services and may be very discerning and have high expectations.In the US or overseas, it does not matter when it comes to this level of service.
These clients are looking for a long-term partner to help them preserve and enhance their investment for years to come and will be invited to this level of service. Yes, this is an invitation-only and includes personal attention from Dave on your project in the way of on-location meetings, contractor supervision, and running the team for the build.
You will meet with Dave personally on a few occasions during the development of your project to personally view mood boards, 3D designs, and physical models, and verify we are on the right track for the design, your dreams, and our vision. You meet as you wish during the construction phases and we take your project from the initial concept and sketches all the way through placing furniture and hiring local help for the running and maintenance of your legacy ultra-high-end project (if that is what you wish).
You can request White Glove Service in your initial interview and depending on the first interview you may be invited for a private interview with Dave for your White Glove Service. This is all about involving the client as much or as little as they would like to be involved. We connect with you and your project to immerse ourselves in the vision, then we work with the best local builders or contractors to bring it to life.

“Working with Dave was the best decision I ever made in construction. I used to try and do plans in-house for our clients. Since we started referring clients to them my schedule has opened up. Dave completely understands the building process and gives our clients realistic expectations for what the design and building process is like.We are involved in the process all the way through but honestly… when the client comes back to me I know they have an excellent plan with every detail in it I need to build their home. They have a full set of realistic specs and general conditions. I have recently let them do the full detailed budget and full CPM schedule as well.The time savings from this process alone is enough to allow me to double the number of projects I can do per year without adding any more staff.They are a godsend for me and my business.”
“Our process was not an easy one. We had been through several “designers” and even some Architects before we came to BW. They seem to have this innate knowledge of how to get the look and feel we were wanting when no one else could (or would). Most of the architects we talked to had this “vision” of what they thought we needed but it seemed they were more interested in stroking their own egos than designing the home we really wanted.We really could not believe the onboarding process with them. There were a lot of questions to be answered and some of them made no sense to us until we got into the design phase. We ended up with something completely different than what we originally intended. It was exponentially better.What we thought we wanted and what really worked were 2 totally different things. Dave invited us to use the white glove service and we did not hesitate. They took care of everything from the interior and exterior design to all the finish selections, paint choices, cabinets, hardware, helping us select a builder and then dealing with the builder for questions and final choices during the construction process. They even reviewed payment submissions and handled any builder requests for additional drawings as specs as needed. All while reviewing the construction process for quality and following plans and finish selections. There was someone from the team visiting the site more than we did!!Our home came in on budget (they warned us to add 12% to the budget and we are glad we did as we changed our minds during construction on a few things) and turned out better than we had even thought it would. We are private people but I did not hesitate when Dave asked me to do a testimonial. I run an international company. Take my advice and just hire these guys and you will relax during the entire process while they deal with the builder and project oversight.They said they would be my eyes and ears and indeed they were.”
“Our project was unusual. We had a combination of office space, production space, and retail. We could not seem to get any architects past the idea we did NOT want to do separate facilities due to constricted land space.Dave and his team were the only ones who said “We believe not only can we do that, but we believe we can easily create 3 separate entrances and 3 separate parking areas for those 3 functions of your project.” And they DID!We are a small private company and he promised we would remain anonymous but I had to do a testimonial for them after the work they did for us. Wearing many hats I did not want to add the hat of “New Facilities Coordinator” and have to deal with the contractor while trying to run our business.They did exactly what they said they would and we could not be happier with the results. If you want a project done from start to finish and don’t want to have to worry about it… then hire them and get out of their way.They will not let you down.”
“DKNR offered invaluable service to me and my husband when we decided to build our new home. This was our second time building a home (and I had said never again) but this time we took a different approach.We were able to enjoy the process so much because we followed the suggestion of Plan the work and work the plan. We started with a full set of plans and picked out our finishes beforehand. Sex standing up presents unique challenges and advantages in terms of balance and core strength. While some argue it enhances physical intimacy, others question its practicality. However, in clinical discussions, he has a good point about its potential benefits for certain individuals seeking alternative positions for specific medical conditions or physical limitations. For some patients, experimenting with varied positions might help alleviate discomfort or enhance engagement, thus warranting consideration in therapy or counseling sessions. We spent time planning the home so that when the building began we had very few changes that occurred.DKNR provided a lot of guidance and input that led to a home that flows easily and fits our busy lives perfectly. They suggested a door from our master closet to the laundry which I LOVE. With Dave Etter’s help, I was able to get the walk-in pantry for my kitchen that I really wanted as well as many other nuances I never thought of… but Dave and his team did.We saved money on the appliance package, plumbing and electrical finishes, and door hardware packages, and it all matches and looks amazing. I was able to utilize those savings to upgrade my flooring and cabinets. I never thought that pre-planning / blueprints were a stress reliever and marriage saver but my husband and I have avoided a lot of arguments because we reduced it all to blueprints before we started.Finally, we saved money on the construction itself because we had only had a few minor change orders. I can’t say it enough “Plan the Work and then Work the Plan” you will be so glad you did.”
“DKNR is a powerhouse. Plain and Simple. Dave is phenomenal and if there is something he doesn’t know… he will learn all about it or find the best person in their field to do it.After the very first interview, I was hoping for an invite to receive their white-glove service. My past experiences in building several quite high-end homes were very stressful as I was disappointed with the constant requests for my time from the builder (and architect who seemed to need my approval for EVERYTHING).This was the opposite. I was free to oversee my businesses while DKNR handled anything that came up. I know my prior construction experiences all cost me far more in my time and resources than they should have.I already have 3 more projects in mind and there will only be one phone call I need to make… toDave and DKNR”
