Custom Homes from Hammerskil 

At Hammerskil Homes, we believe that every house should be as unique as the family it shelters. As a local, family-owned, and operated business serving the Northern Colorado community for over 30 years, we take immense pride in crafting high-quality, sustainable homes tailored to your specific needs and desires.

Custom Home building has a lot of moving parts and we know it can be confusing and stressful. Ongoing project communications is key to reducing stress.  Here is an overview about how the building process with Hammerskil works with you.

Step 1 – Let’s Talk.

During this phase we will get acquainted to see if we are a fit for each other.  Since you are reading this document, that process is already underway. We will do a deep dive into your vision and make sure that we “get it.” We will talk about your budget in relation to your vision, consider possible options and explain how financing or payments to us work. We will talk schedule, your role in the project and what you can expect from us. We will leave you with a complete guidance kit full of useful information to help you understand not only who we are but also how projects like yours works.

Step 2 – The Professional Services Agreement

Prior to entering into a Construction Agreement together there will be pre-construction processes for which there will be fees. These fees are separate from the construction contract. These pre-construction processes will be handled with what is called a Professional Services Agreement or PSA. Your PSA will usually include costs for doing a detailed. The PSA will usually cover design services and sometimes some demolition and discovery work if required. The PSA does not obligate you to enter into a Construction Agreement with us and you own the results of the design work covered by the PSA.

Step 3 – Project Development

With the signed PSA in hand, we will begin a series of meetings with you to talk about and make selections for your project. As part of this process, we will go through a detailed design checklist that goes over every aspect of your build from details of the building site to what texture the drywall will have. We will go over the scope of work, project plan, progress payments, timelines, logistics and concerns. You will meet your personal project manager and discuss how communications can be handled.

Step 4 – The Construction Agreement

We will now have all the information to provide a budget for your project, we will have agreed on the design and production plan. We will provide an Agreement for our mutual signature and go over and explain every deal of our straightforward Agreement.

Step 5 – Project Management

During the building phase we will handle all the details of ordering materials, scheduling, oversight, and coordination. Concurrently we will keep you up to date on progress and issues.

Step 6 – In-Process Changes

No matter how carefully we plan your project together there will probably be some changes along the way. We are prepared to accommodate any changes you want to make. Our Agreement will explain how costs associated with your changes will be handled.

Step 7 – Project Completion

During this completion phase we will meticulously inspect to ensure that craftsmanship level have been maintained throughout the project. We will do a final review meeting with you to answer any operational questions regarding appliances, heating and cooling systems and any other operational questions. We will do a final clean up to the highest standards possible both within the project and anything on the property that we touched. And finally, you will benefit from our industry-leading, three-year warranty on our work.

Step 8 – Enjoy your home and thank you for letting us be a part of your dreams!
