The Crew

Brent

Brent was born and raised in a small town in Iowa to a family whose main passions were the visual arts, classical music, education, domestic travel, and camping. As a young man, Brent and his parents relocated to Oregon in order to be closer to extended family. As a result, Brent’s university education took place out here, and he earned his BA from Portland State University in 1997 and his MArch from the University of Oregon in 2009.

Regarding his experience as a builder, Brent began building wooden projects as a kid, alongside his father, in and around their Iowa home. His father’s projects included home maintenance, home remodeling, a new garage, furniture, job-related projects, and innumerable other things. Brent’s experience with industry standard construction began in 1990 when he was first employed by Antarctic Support Associates – an operations & construction contractor for the National Science Foundation.

Jahaziel

As the son of a lumber mill worker and carpenter, Jahaziel learned to love wood and all the many things that can be created with it. From a young age, Jahaziel would help his father with many varied projects. Ranging from furniture and fencing, to flooring and framing projects. Jahaziel’s fondest memories are the ones where his hands were manipulating the wood toward a design stemming from his own imagination.

On the side, and later as a sole proprietor, Jahaziel added residential drafting services to his skillset. Providing local homeowners, regional building contractors, and sole architects with personalized and professional service, Jahaziel takes pride in knowing how to express his ideas to the craftsmen who will build them. This pride is evident in the high-quality final products that he delivers. Read More

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does your average project cost?

Since we work with such a wide variety of clients, there really is no “average” project. We price transparently and will create a detailed estimate for your project based on what you need.

An ADU is a small dwelling on the same grounds as, or attached to, a single-family house. For example, it could be an apartment over the garage, a basement apartment, or a stand-alone house in the backyard. An ADU can be used to house a family member or for additional income through rent.
