HISTORY
The
MarKar team has over 50 years combined experience
in the building trades and business management. Marshall
has worked in every phase of construction; he is
a highly skilled craftsman and an excellent project
manager. Every decision he makes is with the customers
long term benefit in mind. Karla has a creative flair
in the design of each home, always building in storage
areas, good traffic flows and keeping the customers

BUILDER
INVOLVEMENT
Marshall
inspects each site two to three times per day and
spends a significant amount of time each day working
closely with each material provider and subcontractor
to ensure specifications and expectations are met.
COMMUNICATIONS
Marshall
and Karla each work very hard to keep the communication
lines open between the entire building team keeping
everyone informed on specifications, requirements,
customer requests and changes. Each customer wants
to be involved at different levels of the process
so MarKar works closely with their customers to ensure
they are informed with the levels of detail they
need. There are several meetings to walk through
the home during the building process with the home
buyer to discuss progress, changes and concerns.
CRAFTSMANSHIP
MarKar
achieves consistent craftsmanship because they seek
out the finest craftsman and materials then they
build long term relationships with each of them.
Because MarKar uses the same team on every home,
the construction, workmanship and end product can
be consistent from home to home. Also, if there is
a problem that arises, the subcontractor that was
involved is still around and is eager to resolve
the issue.
HOME
DESIGN
Karla
is a skilled designer and by using a CAD system she
is able to work closely with her customers to quickly
make modifications and changes as needed to meet
the needs of customers. This reduces the long drawn
out design process. There is also a team of engineers,
architects and interior designers available to ensure
full design services.
INTERIOR
DESIGN
Karla
is skilled in the coordination of color, paint, carpet,
vinyl, cabinets, hardwood, stone, tile, granite,

of your new home. Additionally, there are interior
design specialists available for your convenience.
