Because Clarity is Kindness.
Knowing what you can expect as you consider Fairbank Construction as your builder is the first step to eliminating anxiety.
A high-level view is outlined below.
A Team Designed Exclusively For You
Regardless of the size or style of the home you envision, we are committed to eliminating the anxiety of construction and prepared to bring your vision through a smooth and enjoyable process.
​
Because every project is unique, a “design-build” team will be selected by our management team to partner with you through your project. Your team will include one of the partners, estimators, a project manager chosen specifically for your project, and a superintendent who will be on-site to coordinate and keep the job moving forward. The team will meet with your architects, designers, and consultants to ensure that the home reflects your intent and budget. We adapt to your desired level of personal involvement, keeping our promises regardless of your presence.

Building Your Dream Together
Controlling cost starts with astute attention to the details of your project.
​
We begin with a snapshot estimate of your budget and the project's requirements, based on a preliminary set of plans. Then working from your preliminary plans, we categorize each aspect of the job to create a detailed estimate of the projected cost.
​
We'll ask you or your interior design team to select materials and certain design elements. Together at planning meetings, we'll offer suggestions and share areas that may affect your project's timeline and cost.
​
Careful, advance planning is the backbone to eliminating or reducing surprises, and keeping you informed is our goal from beginning to end.
Partnering Is Parmount
Our history and reputation as a long-standing premier Northwest builder has afforded us partnerships with sub-contractors and vendors that mirror our commitment to integrity and excellence. These partnerships allow us to work together to value-engineer your project, brain-storm how to work around budget restrictions, and supply you with an outcome built on detailed information, not surprises.
​
Your Fairbank Construction team will work closely with hand-pick subcontractors to identify all "gray areas,” craft a Scope of Work, outline a Construction Schedule, and seek cost efficiencies through competitve bids.
By clearly identifying solutions early on, there are fewer change orders, and we can complete construction in a timely manner and according to plan.
Your Dream Realized
At last, your new home or remodel is complete!
Before you move in, your team will walk through your home with you, noting any questions or concerns you may have. At this time, we also address extended warranties and explain maintenance care. You'll receive a manual specific to those warranties and maintenance needs.
​
We take great pride and true joy in the relationships we build with our clients. While many would be one-time customers to other contractors, Fairbank Construction is proud to serve many of our clients through multiple projects as well as serve to maintain their existing homes through the care of our Special Services team.

At Fairbank Construction, it’s more than building structures, it’s about family and building community.
