"The Build Ex Difference"
By Salley Keeney, Staff Writer

Build Ex utilizes the best craftsmen in the area combined with a network of quality local and national suppliers to construct truly high-quality, distinctive homes while controlling costs. Instead of reducing the quality of material and work in order to control expenses, Build Ex relies heavily on the design/build concept: the builder provides input while plans are being established in order to produce a cost conscience design that meets clients' expectations.

Build Ex is a truly "hands on" builder. "We take our responsibility of quality control seriously and make sure the design is followed," Chris Ehrenfeld said. "The licensed contractor is the first one at the job site every morning and the last to leave at the end of the work day. We realize that the more the builder is actually on site, the more control he has. We limit the number of projects we take on each year to assure the highest service to each and every client."

Build Ex is a client service driven company. Build Ex strives to not only meet but also exceed client expectations. From beginning to end, all members of the Build Ex building team are readily accessible. Build Ex includes a warranty program that offers prompt one-call solutions to any part of the house that is not meeting client expectations. "We also build each house as if we were building our own home and personally oversee all aspects of the work to keep the project on time while maintaining quality standards," Dell said.

Build Ex maintains excellent relationships with its clients, subcontractors and the environment. We develop a personal trust with our clients that makes the building process friendlier. Build Ex demands the highest quality and on-time results from subcontractors. In turn, Build Ex keeps its promises to ethically execute contracts. Build Ex couples the latest materials and building techniques to make their houses energy efficient, which reduces the amount of wasted energy and lowers the homeowner's cost of living. Build Ex also relies on environmentally conscious products that use technology to minimize environmental waste while creating stronger, more reliable and safe buildings.
