Blue Brick Construction was created for one purpose, to provide value for homeowners by utilizing improved construction materials and building practices, creating thoughtful, efficient, quality homes. Value can take many forms, be it longevity, efficiency, functionality, or comfort, to name a few. Realizing that value is a function of planning and execution, giving attention to the even the smallest of details.

As a kid I was fascinated with the history of construction, how things were created and what those things could become when given new life many years later. Being able to create, expand, or otherwise improve your home carried with it a sense of pride. Helping my father work on our home or our camp, or building a shed, or working on cars came with a sense of dignity I remember fondly. “Do it right and you only have to do it once,” I remember him saying, and now find myself repeating to my children. He was as right then as I am when I repeat it now.

My education led me in a different direction. Instead of construction, I was drawn to business. My career in accounting taught me many things that I find relevant to the construction process. Early in my career, I was given simpler tasks like cost analysis, or reporting on company performance. As I progressed further, I was able to work on things more impactful to the people and processes I was a part of, such as optimizing inefficiencies in repetitive processes, or implementing new tools that provide new insight into performance.

Those experiences all serve to answer the same question, “How do I make this better?” When my wife and I built our home in 2014, and again when her parents built their home in 2019, that same sentiment rang constantly in my ears. While still working in my own career, I dove into all the training materials, building science literature and product marketing materials I could, to find products and practices that would make my home or my wife’s parents’ home better. I became convinced that investing only a little more than the minimum, and committing the time to understand and oversee the small details could dramatically improve the efficiency, durability, and longevity of our family’s most important asset, our home.

When I had the opportunity to take that passion for quality and value and make it into my own business, I couldn’t let it get away. I want every client to feel the pride I feel in knowing it was done right.
