Our Team
Steel Ledge Construction
General contractor
We turn approved plans into finished homes, managing the trades, the schedule and the budget so residents can move in on time to buildings made to last.
Our story
Built right, built to last
Steel Ledge Construction is a new general contracting company, being formed now to build the affordable homes Hearthmont and its partners plan. Our name says what we care about: solid structure, careful work and a firm footing for every family who will live in the homes we build.
We believe the people who build a neighborhood should come from it whenever possible. We intend to hire local trades and suppliers, run clean and safe job sites, and treat the neighbors around each project with respect while work is underway.
Most of all, we want every resident to walk into a home that is well made, comfortable and easy to live in, whatever their age or ability.
What we do
From groundbreaking to move-in day
-
Preconstruction and estimating
We review drawings early, price the work carefully and suggest practical ways to build better for the same budget.
-
Constructability and value review
We work with architects and engineers so designs are buildable, durable and cost-effective.
-
Trade and supplier procurement
We bid out the work fairly, with a priority on qualified local trade partners and suppliers.
-
Construction management
We lead the job site day to day, coordinating every trade and keeping the work moving.
-
Schedule and cost control
We track progress and costs closely and report honestly to the owner and lenders.
-
Site safety
We plan and run job sites with clear safety rules, training and daily oversight.
-
Quality control and inspections
We check our work at every stage and coordinate with inspectors, testing agencies and the design team.
-
Closeout and warranty
We finish every punch-list item, hand over complete documentation and stand behind our work after move-in.
How we work with Hearthmont
One plan, one team on the job
Hearthmont is the nonprofit sponsor of each project and keeps a controlling role. Steel Ledge Construction builds under a written construction contract with a defined scope, price and schedule, reviewed by Hearthmont and the project’s lenders.
We work hand in hand with Landmark Peak Development during design and with Charter Key Property Management before opening, so that the buildings we hand over are easy to maintain and ready for residents.
- Construction contracts reviewed and approved by Hearthmont’s independent directors
- Open-book cost reporting to Hearthmont and lenders
- Regular site meetings and progress reports
- Fair, competitive bidding of trade work
Our commitments
