Quality work is the lifeblood of Five Quarter Construction. This means realistic expectations, fair and transparent pricing, clear communication, and of course, good old fashioned skilled carpentry and project management.

We use quality materials and build with a “belt and suspenders” mindset, where durability is a primary goal. While this is a job, it’s also our craft and we take it seriously.

This 8-month rammed earth build involved specialized construction methods. The 2-foot thick walls required careful formwork and close collaboration with the structural engineer to achieve code compliance and the energy efficiency the homeowners wanted.

Key features:

  • Super-insulated walls with an R-Value of 41

  • Custom pigmented rammed earth layers creating unique patterns

  • Structural engineering coordination for load-bearing earth walls

  • Airtight construction for optimal energy performance

Testimonials

“I worked alongside Five Quarter Construction for 8 months while building my rammed earth house and I would recommend Walker without hesitation. He’s an honest contractor, does excellent work and takes pride in it. He was consistent in his effort and communication for the duration of a long, taxing project and does what he says he will. He’s extremely reliable, punctual, and pays attention to detail. I’m very pleased with the outcome of the work and look forward to working with him again!”

Residential framing

As the framing contractor on this custom home build, we handled the structural phase that creates the “bones” of a house. When we arrived on site the foundation was both out of square and level. We took the time to work with what was there and with a few tricks of the trade built a plumb, level and square house.

Key features:

  • Moving and lifting heavy structural beams

  • Coordination with mechanical and electrical rough-in phases

  • Quality lumber selection and precise cutting to minimize waste

  • On-schedule delivery of structural framework

  • Custom tile work including floor, shower surround, and accent features
