Distinctions
How we think and act matters as much as how we build.
The Business of the Build
The truth is, there are many contractors that can build your home. We are not free-lance project managers. We are a team, dedicated to proven processes. Equally passionate about excellence in carpentry, building science and business. We are a collective of like minded professionals working together to build legacy homes.
Ethical Transparency
We work tirelessly to maintain trust. You have a question and we will answer with integrity. We are not afraid to show you what's behind the curtain.
Building a home is complex, it's a process with many moving parts, many people, financial investment and hiccups along the way. We are here with you and for you. This is your home - your haven.
Communication Excellence
We work in alignment with architects and designers. They are the visionaries behind the beauty we build. We speak the same language, respect the intent behind every detail, and have honest, thoughtful conversations about how decisions affect timeline and budget, so there are no surprises down the line.
Recognition
We don’t do this work for recognition. But when it comes, we’re proud, it tells us we’re honoring the work the right way.

Value Aligned Actions
Chris sets the foundation for Elysian’s value-aligned actions. He cares deeply about people and the stewardship of this industry. In 2020, he became a Certified Passive House Builder (CPHB), reflecting a commitment to building science, performance, and doing the work the right way. That commitment also informs Elysian’s approach to employee development and long-term stability.
