TESTIMONIALS
We encourage prospective clients to speak with our past clientele to hear first-hand how wonderful their actual building experience was.
Rob and his crew are great to work with and we have had the pleasure of teaming up on several projects in recent years. As architects, it is rewarding to work with a builder that values our role and the designs we have developed with our clients.
Rob is a very good communicator and a friendly. honest professional who finds solutions not fault when problems arise. For these reasons and others, Open Meadow Builders is one of our preferred contractors and we are happy and confident when referring them to our clients.

Open Meadow has built our dream house! Every step was made with direction, guidance and professionalism and every step resulted in quality construction working with a quality building team. Within the exact time frame that was proposed (actually 2 days early) we were in our beautiful new home. We couldn’t be more satisfied with the final product and would highly recommend Open Meadow to anyone.

Selecting a contractor to remodel our home was always so difficult. Now that we’ve found Open Meadow we will never need to go through that process again. The Open Meadow team continues to exceed our expectations.

​
We were extremely pleased with the project that Open Meadow did for us. From the beginning, they were more than just General Contractors, they were an integral part of the design team, helped us make decisions and trade-offs, and gracefully surfed through several project changes. They worked hand-in-hand with Cummings Architects LLC to complete our project on time, on budget, and in a professional manner. We have done several projects in the past and the subcontractors that Open Meadow used were among the best we have ever seen. We enthusiastically recommend Open Meadow for your remodeling/ renovation project!

Open Meadow has performed a significant amount of renovation and repair work for me over the last two years. The work was well planned and completed in a timely manner. Estimates were detailed, and we had productive discussions on our options. Communication was excellent. I plan to continue working with Open Meadow on remaining projects for this house.

​
Getting to Know You: We care deeply about your experience and our process starts with a warm, welcoming initial phone call to introduce ourselves and to understand your project goals.
Initial Site Meeting: In this phase, we meet you on site to walkthrough the project together and get to the heart of what you are looking for. This phase may include taking photos and measurements and looking at any schematic plans that clients may already have.
Initial Estimate: based on our knowledge of current pricing and recent projects we have completed. The goal of this is to get good information for you early on in the process so that you can make good decisions regarding budget and scope.
Pre-Construction: During this phase of the project, if the budget and scope align, and the customer chooses to move forward, we work with the client along with the architect or designer to finalize the project’s scope. In this phase the architect will put together a construction set of drawings.
At this time, we share our preferred vendor list with our clients so that they can choose their finishes, cabinetry, flooring, etc. With this information, we then put together a final, formal proposal and construction contract.
​
Construction Contract: With the final proposal, we put together the contract. The signed contract allows us to pull permits, and schedule the work with our team and our trade partners. Once the contract is signed, we start bringing your project to life!
