Transparency is the foundation of a healthy business. We always recommend having a site sketch plan done before breaking ground on road and site construction.

All of Maine, though our primary hub of business is in Bristol and Lisbon Falls. Counties we regularly serve include: Lincoln, Sagadahoc, Androscoggin, Cumberland, Knox, Kennebec, and Waldo.

Our design process involves collaboration with clients, focusing on their needs while emphasizing longevity and the use of local resources. We have no way of giving a timeline range without knowing you, your intent, the site, time of season, and available materials.

We primarily serve our local Maine community, ensuring our projects reflect the unique characteristics of the area and its natural resources available. First we talk for 30 minutes, then we see the site or talk about possible land acquisitions that would suit your needs, and finally we create rough build plans and designs based on the specific site and client desires. From there, depending on the end goal, other professionals are brought on for expertise or we finalize the plan right away with room for adaption as the projects move forward.

A Site Sketch is created from public records of deeds, surveys, plat maps, Maine Statutes, satellite imagery, lidar topography data, apparent site features, wetland delineations, resource protection zones, artistic depictions, and anything you would like to see displayed that clarifies and conveys the project scope and direction in a scaled drawing.
