"As a licensed landscape architect and former land developer, Matt brings a tremendous breadth of experience to his work as a builder. My wife and I hired his company to build our home, and were greatly pleased with his work. It is rare to find someone so talented who is also so customer-oriented — listening, empathizing, and providing great service in addition to a great product."
Chris Rooker, Team Leader, The Harrisonburg Homes Team

Bringing it all to life

PROJECT MANAGEMENT
We assign a dedicated project manager (PM) to each of our construction jobs. This experienced individual works to ensure your project runs smoothly. They deal with subcontractor and supplier scheduling, budget creation and quality control. Their overarching responsibility is customer relationship management — i.e. keeping you up to date and involved to ensure your home reflects the design you worked so hard to perfect. One of the tools we utilize to do this is an online project management and collaboration service. This keeps direct lines of communication open between you and your PM. In addition, we issue each PM an iPhone and laptop computer, making every jobsite a mobile office.

ESTIMATING & BUDGETING
Building a custom home requires a fair amount of trust and vulnerability between our clients and Stratford at every stage. You share your needs and dreams, along with your financial information with us, entrusting us to provide creative solutions and a quality product. We believe one way to reciprocate this trust is to operate with open-book accounting. This means that you see the cost of everything including labor, materials, overhead and profit margins for every item in the estimate. We empower you to make choices that align with your budget and your priorities.
