Whether your intent is a true custom home, a luxury estate or a high-end commercial venture, Jim Edwards and Andy Smith bring over 75 years of combined experience to your project. They've developed and continue to optimize a highly systematized, yet personalized approach to every aspect of the building process, resulting in well-built homes that with proper maintenance and care will stand the test of time. 

Edwards Smith Construction is a Luxury Custom Home Builder whose artistry and attention to detail are the hallmarks of our success. Building for both the residential and commercial markets, the craftsmanship and beauty of an Edwards Smith structure speaks for itself. 

We serve those looking to build in northern Idaho - including Gozzer Ranch and The Golf Club at Black Rock - and limit the number of projects we accept each year so each gets the time, attention and expertise it deserves. Our years in the business provide the added assurance we have the experience to deal with and resolve any complexities your project may entail. 

We’re also thrilled to announce that owner Andy Smith is the first and currently only builder in North Idaho to be designated a PHIUS (Passive House Institute US) Certified Builder. Structures constructed to meet the Passive House Building Energy Standard are ultra-efficient and characterized by superior indoor air quality, thermal comfort and durability. We are pleased to include passive construction as one of the options available to you.

"Our driving force is to make it an extraordinary journey for our clients and we think we are preeminent at that. We are proud to say that we focus on the clients' needs, excel at presenting options and ideas to enhance the design and the cost effectiveness, and do so with a commitment to excellence from top to bottom, beginning to end. We quite simply are committed to and experienced at building incredible homes that exceed expectations.

**★★★★★ — Clearwater Summit Group, Sept. 2013**

> I have worked with Edwards Smith ever since I started my landscape company in 1996. Over the years we have developed a process within the construction sequencing that allows this team to deliver outstanding results. Their commitment to delivering the entire project to the customer rather than just the home itself is so important in today's connection to the outdoor room(the landscape). They include us in this process during design and budgeting which typically leads to cost savings as we determine how to integrate the landscape.
> I have no other building relationships that put this much emphasis on landscaping so early in the game and I think it shows in the customer experience that Edwards Smith delivers.

**Comment from Edwards Smith Construction:**

> Whole project integration is key to the ultimate success of our projects. Clearwater Summit Group intrinsically understands how this integration works in delivering cost savings with the greatest value to our clients.

**★★★★★ — neilandbo, June 2013**

> The best builder you can hire.  Our project was a total of two years including design.  Andy Smith, owner, is a great person, honest, and hard working.  Attention to detail in everything they do.  Our house building project was fun and enjoyable.  You would be doing yourself a favor by hiring Edwards Smith Construction.

**Comment from Edwards Smith Construction:**

> Thank you Neil & Bo. It was pure pleasure working with you, building your house & walking the journey with you. The ES team is very proud to have been part of your project and we value the relationship we've built with you.

## Community Q&A

**Q: Exterior colors?** *(in Photo Questions)*

Is there anyway I could find out the name of the siding and shingles used on this home and their colors? Thanks!

A: Thank you for your interest in this lovely home. It was completed a number of years ago so we don't have specifics readily available. (We imagine color names have since changed as well.) The grey shingles are cedar. The white portion of the home is a frame and panel application that, as memory serves, was out of fir. We hope this is of some help. All the best!

**Q: How big is this room?** *(in Photo Questions)*

A: You're welcome. Hope everything turns out as planned.

**Q: What is the paint color on the walls?** *(in Photo Questions)*

A: The plaster walls were embedded with a customized color that doesn't have a specific name.
