Our experience with this builder was unsatisfactory. Some of the issues include: flaws in basic construction, significant deviations from the architect's plans, and what we consider to be substandard quality in finish work throughout. The project was significantly over budget and we did not feel that communication was timely, professional or transparent.

Gavin's input, expertise, and craftsmanship were invaluable in getting my straw bale house to completion. Time has not faded my appreciation.

Built 9 years ago by Pure Vida our straw bale home continues to delight us with its comfort and beauty. Our utility bill savings are greater than we anticipated.
