Why choose NFD as your construction management company?

I. Focus
Whether you are building your mountain home getaway or your next primary dwelling, managing the building process is a huge undertaking. Doing it yourself can require incalculable costs of your time and energy outside of your full time job and family.

Managing the building process of custom homes is our primary focus. We take the worry, hassle and time commitment out of your hands. Your Project Manager will be at your construction site daily to maintain tight control over progress and budget. We will communicate with you weekly in person or via teleconference. For added convenience, we will send you a regularly updated schedule and budget, as well as post current photographs of your home construction in progress to our Client Showcase (link to client showcase).

II. Experience
There is a very good chance that this is the first or second home you have considered building. There are many factors that are involved in mountain home building that can’t be communicated in homebuilding books or guides, especially when it comes to custom homes.

New Frontier Development has over 10 years of experience building more than 80 custom homes in Grand County. With this experience, NFD can insure quality and control building costs from design to completion. We know what to expect in every phase of construction and what is required to keep things running according to plan.

III. Relationships
Contractors are the foundation to a well built home. Even with research and references, it is difficult to really know if a particular sub-contractor will be best suited for your home or how the expertise of each trade will blend as your home comes together.

NFD has relationships with numerous local sub-contractors of all trades. We are deeply familiar with their craftsmanship, work ethic, and business practices. Because we manage a very high volume of home construction in Grand County, we can leverage our presence to engage high quality sub-contractors to work on your home. We understand where one trade ends and another begins and can manage the cooperation between sub-contractors to bring together every detail.

IV. Communication
Building a home on average could take 20 or more sub-contractors. Constant communication with each sub-contractor is key to making sure it all comes together in the end. Managing this communication on your own can take countless hours of your time.

Your NFD team will be the channel of communication throughout the building process with your NFD Project Manager as your primary point of contact. We will work with you on your strategies, design decisions, and budget and manage the many sub-contractors that will bring it all together. In turn, progress including photographs and expenditures will be communicated back to you throughout construction by teleconferences, e-mail, and this website.

V. Environment
Extreme weather in the Colorado Rockies can certainly bring some challenges to home building, which will mean some unforeseeable costs. From digging a foundation in the frozen earth to snow removal to high winds in the spring, measures will need to be taken to work with the environment to maintain progress on your home.

NFD has prior experience of the environmental considerations of building a home in the mountains. We can anticipate challenges depending on the time of year you choose to build and can help set expectations as we work with you on your schedule and budget.
