Innovative Contracting, Llc

It was fate that brought Drew, Will, Jim, and Matt together. Jim was in construction as early as 1954 working with his father for his grandfather's construction company. After graduating from College, he ended up in the world of Financial Services but never lost his love for construction. Drew was always in construction. He worked for several years as the main trouble shooter for a home building company in Utah building up to 600 plus homes per year. After his children were in school, he decided he wanted to raise them in a smaller community so he moved to Montana. While Jim was working in British Columbia, he became friends with the owners of Pioneer Log Homes of BC who helped him design the "Post and Beam" log home that Drew built on their small ranch in Montana where they are now living. Will, Matt, and Drew met and became friends through their association as "Volunteer Firefighters". One day, while sitting on the deck at the ranch, Will said, "This place is amazing, let's start our own contracting company." From that day, a friendship and partnership was born. They quickly identified the philosophies that would define their new firm, INNOVATIVE CONTRACTING. Every space is different. Every structure has its unique reason for existing. Commercial projects are pretty straight forward. But, when it comes to building someone's dream home, well... We might produce a thousand ideas before arriving at the perfect one for a client. It's a necessary part of the creative architectural process and one that we take seriously. Here's how we do it: - Start with several interviews to get a true picture of what the Client's vision of their dream home looks like - Create Architectural drawings and building plans Review the drawings and plans with the Client and make adjustments where necessary - Use the drawings and plans to arrive at the 3-5 top project objectives - Use the top 3-5 project objectives to brainstorm project goals in a non-judgmental environment - Let the project objectives and goals simmer and marinate for awhile - Rigorously review goals and objectives to assign a priority ranking - Create a project plan based on goals and objectives that includes milestones and contingencies
