John Eland and Iron Forest Building Company are fantastic! John is an expert on the design, permitting and building process and was able to clearly articulate the process to my wife and me. John has an incredible sense of ‘function’ and ‘style’, meaning that his creations are highly functional and absolutely beautiful. We were on a tight budget and a few times during the design phase John highlighted something the architect had drawn and say, ‘If I build it this way it will cost 20% less and look just as good or better’. Every time it turned out better! In the end our new mountain home far exceeded our expectations and is a dream come true for my family! Adam Garvert was the lead foreman on our home and he is equally as great. Not only are John and Adam incredible builders, they are also honest, kind and all around great people! Five stars. Highly recommend!

We hired John Eland and his crew to help us with our restoration of our home in Dillon, CO. John is the kind of general contractor that everyone would love to have. He is knowledgeable, responsible and patient. We were pleased with the quality of work his crew has done and how helpful he was through the whole process of the restoration project. He was able to meet deadlines that he promised and kept budget in line, We wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to our friends and family.

John Eland managed our project (he was working for another comapny at the time)
John Eland was the project manager on our (7,000 sq.ft.) house construction in 2010 thru 2011. He was very easy to work with, very competent and professional. It was in the middle of the down-turn and we got some good prices, but we also suffered delays due to suppliers not having supplies. Now I realize how hard it is to find and keep good tradespeople in the mountains I realize what a sterling job John did, chasing up people and supplies to keep the project on schedule. I definitely recommend him and would be very happy to use him again if we took on another big project.

We've had homes built and completed a few remodels over the years and I must say, our project with John and Iron Forest Building was one of our best experiences by far. Iron Forest completed our Breckenridge condo remodel. We went all the way down to the studs. John was fantastic to work with. He was very thorough in his estimates and accurate with his timelines. The quality of work is exceptional. He was a pleasure to work with. My husband and I HIGHLY recommend John and won't hesitate to call on him again.

The distinguished homes of Iron Forest Building represent the highest level of service delivered. Working with Iron Forest Building on multiple projects over the past few years has been a great experience. The integrity shown and tremendous rapport that John has with all his clients is a "win" for everyone.
The stunning details and mountain charm of Iron Forest Buildings' homes set them apart.

John Eland and his team at Iron Forest were better than excellent. Our. Master Bedroom addition went better than planned and came in over 10K under budget. If we have any other building needs, John and Iron Forest would be the only company we would use.

The guys from Iron Forest are very professional and provide highest quality of craftsmanship. We had multiple projects done by the crew and everytime the outcome was very pleasing. Between my ideas and John's (owner) and his workers', I was able to creatively express my idea of the project and they were able to put it to life; very often guiding me through and suggesting their own version/ small changes to make the project even better. The guys are pleasure to work with; always friendly and similing.
