About Corvane
An eighteen-person general contractor with one rule: the person who prices your job is the person who runs it.
Since 2009
Corvane Builders started in 2009 as a two-person framing crew. Today we are eighteen people: site leads, carpenters, an estimator, a project manager and an office that answers the phone.
We still work the way we started. Every job has one site lead from survey to handover, every price is written down before work starts, and every Friday you get a short report with photos and the plan for the next week.
We only take work within 40 miles of Ferrow Valley, so every crew can reach its site before 7:30 am.
How we work
Prices in writing
Every estimate is itemized. Allowances are labeled as allowances, and changes are priced and signed before the work is done.
One site lead
The person who walks the job with you runs the crew, orders the materials and answers your calls until handover.
A clean site every day
Dust protection goes up on day one. Tools and waste are cleared at the end of every shift, not at the end of the job.
The people you will deal with
