Putting it All Together

he clean lines of this contemporary home evoke ease and tranquility. Raised ceilings, window walls and skylights open up the spaces and capture the sylvan setting. Extensive renovations in the main living areas blend seamlessly with a 900 square foot addition. A gourmet kitchen, accent lighting and a spacious master suite round out the modern, must-have amenities.

It looks as though it must have always been his way, yet it almost never happened.

Plans languished for nearly two years as a series of contractors struggled with all the tricky details, such as the steel frame over glass-to-glass corner windows in the breakfast nook. Soils and foundation problems complicated matters. Budgetary constraints threatened the whole project.

Enter D.J. Dowling Inc. Working with the architect and soils and structural engineers, we coordinated cost effective solutions and laid out a tight critical path schedule. Then, we made it all come together, on time and within 1% of the client's original budget. That's why we say, "If you can dream it, we can build it."
