Our ultra-precise off-site fabrication makes the entire process not only fast but as low-stress and seamless as possible for both the building professional and the homeowner.

They had also designed and supervised a Habitat for Home residence for a family on our street. I didn't physically work on the house but I would go up and make coffee for the men in the morning.

We have had the privilege of meeting and working with many faces and many names (many of whom we had not even met) associated with Bensonwood and all the amazing subcontractors; since day one of us making the decision to build a Bensonwood home back in 2017! Our architect and project manager assured us that we would have the “A-team” working with us; and early on in the process…..it was obvious that we were blessed with an “A++ team”! Every single person being pleasant, professional, patient and having the ‘we can make that happen’….’don’t worry; trying to keep any concerns
