ABC Construction SW
About
I construct with the most energy efficient products. Structural Insulated Panels (SIP's) Insulated Concrete Forms (ICF), and RASTRA. Build off the grid homes as well.
I have spent 20 years building on the Navajo Nation. Both HUD and NAHASDA (Native American Housng Assistance and Self-Determination Act (1966). I employ very multi skilled Navajo workers.
I was located in the Four Corners USA. I had projects in all four states. I am a Design/Build Company. I sit down with my clients and draw with several CAD programs.
To be able to sit down with my clients and start from the ground up with their needs. I've literally sat down with a piece of butcher paper and started to scetch out ideas. To see the project go from digging a hole, to handing the clients the keys to the door has been very rewarding for me and my crews.

I built a seven structured Dude Ranch in Lisbon Valley, UT. It was very remote off the grid and hotter than heck. We camped out and worked four ten hour days.

I build only with the best energy efficient products available today. My projects go up quickly as everything is pre-cut. Very little waste on the job site.

Study your home site for the most solar gain. Think things throughly. Compile a Q&A work sheet. I will furnish brochures on all my products. I will do an on-site evaluation. Study plans available to get a good start.
