We knew Ben and Kate were the right fit for us 2 years before we broke ground and we feel honored and privileged to have worked with them. They held our hands every step of the way, were our advocates and champions, and were incredibly transparent about the process. For us, this was a gigantic project, with a fairly strict budget, and a few gut-wrenching moments...and we finished strong and consider the Somraks some of our closest friends. They are honest, reliable, and ultimately just good people and were a pleasure to work with. **★★★★★ — brewingyeast, June 2021** > This is my first custom home build and Ben Somrak and his team were exceptional in every phase of the project. Somrak Concept and Structure designed and built one of the most beautiful homes in Crested Butte and that says a lot. They were extremely integral in the design and the custom details from the team make my home stand out from the rest. I get so many compliments. **★★★★★ — Jay Whitacre, June 2019** > Man-oh-man...when I walked into Ben & Kate's office a few years ago and said, "I want you to build my house and help me design it" they began by taking all suggestions and requests with the utmost consideration and care though every step of the way! His team was consistently incendiary in the products that they put together to make our dream into a reality! They helped with every step of the way: design, permitting, structural support, building advise, invoicing explanation, locating supporting supply sourcing, communication, and follow-up to ensure all needs were met. I truly couldn't have imagined a better support system for our DREAM HOME!!! **★★★★★ — Mountain Colors Design Shop, Oct. 2018** > I have worked closely with Ben Somrak and his team providing paint, lighting and hardware retailer for their custom homes built in Crested Butte, Colorad. They are professional, detail oriented, and on trend design wise. I look forward to every project we have together and appreciate their support of my business as a retailer as well. **Comment from Somrak Concept and Structure, Inc.:** > Thanks for the glowing review, Kim! It's always a pleasure working with you. We are lucky to have such an excellent resource for lighting, hardware and paint here in Crested Butte! **★★★★★ — User, Jan. 2018** > Ben and his team have helped numerous clients of mine and he is top notch! One of the fastest growing construction companies in Crested Butte. **★★★★ — jonfrancisco1, Dec. 2016** > Ben and his crew kept things moving so well that our new house was finished in just over five months. Two months ahead of schedule! **★★★★★ — Chad and Shelby Mauldin, Nov. 2016** > We had the pleasure of working with Ben during the design phase and Jeremy during the construction phase. In short, it was a very smooth process with very few hiccups. When we first met with Ben, he took a lot of time to really understand our needs and goals for our home. His first draft of our plans were 90% on target. After a few rounds of minor revisions, it was time to hand to project off to Jeremy to break ground. > > We broke ground on August 19, 2015, and received our certificate of occupancy on April 4, 2016. Needless to say, we were very pleased with that timeline, especially considering we built throughout the winter. Jeremy is probably the most organized person we have worked with. We never waited on subs or suppliers and he managed the timeline perfectly. Quality-wise, we are extremely happy with the final product. When Jeremy turned over the keys, the house was complete and ready for move in. Any minor issues that came up after we moved in were dealt with very quickly. > > Building a home can be very stressful, and we would be lying if we said there were not stressful moments. But Ben and Jeremy minimized those stressful moments and made the process fun and enjoyable. As it should be! We completed the project ahead of schedule and on budget. What more can you ask for! > > We recommend Somrak Concept and Structure enthusiastically and without reservation. If you would like to speak with us directly, feel free to get our contact information from Ben or Jeremy. **★★★★★ — cindyglow, Sept. 2016** > From design to final product, Ben Somrak and his team have been great to work with. His attention to detail and professionalism is top-notch. He kept us on budget and was able to turn our visions into reality. Every detail exceeded our expectations. He delivered an amazing home that is better than we ever could have imagined. **★★★★★ — Stephanie Land, Feb. 2016** > The remodeling of this 1893 historic home in Crested Butte was our > second project with Somrak Concept and Structure, Inc.

The attention to detail and craftsmanship delivered were top notch as it can be seen in our project pictures. **★★★★★ — clb\_123, Dec. 2015** > I contacted Ben for a bathroom remodel that included a steam shower with a custom mosaic. After meeting Ben and discussing the project, I had no doubt about his ability to complete the work to our satisfaction. The bid was fair, and his staff was both respectful and experienced. The results are amazing. We highly recommend Somrak Design if you are looking for a professional that can deliver high end results. **★★★★★ — Dirk Williamson, June 2014** > Ben Somrak and the Somrak team were fantastic to work with throughout the process. We purchased a Mountain home which was in need of a full updated renovation. We met with Ben and shared our vision of the transformation we were targeting. Ben was a great partner throughout sharing ideas from previous projects, looking for opportunities to repurpose existing items in the home and keeping us informed from afar throughout the project. Ben works with top notch sub-contractors and has a keen eye for detail. He demands excellence from his team and works with only the highest quality partners. Our home was recently featured in Crested Butte News highlighting the transformation. We could not be more pleased with the outcome and look forward to enjoying many years on the Mountain in our fantastic "New" Home. ## Selected projects - [Dead Horse Retreat](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/dead-horse-retreat-pj-vj~6562554) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 14 - Description: A custom reclaimed timber home with a touch of mountain modern on the fence line of Buckhorn Ranch. - [825 Elk Ave](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/825-elk-ave-pj-vj~2773085) - Location: Crested Butte, CO - Photos: 20 - Description: Ultra-Custom ADA compliant home in the town of Crested Butte.
