Dustin and Paul joined forces in 2017 to start Active Design & Build, a remodeling company in Denver. They started the home renovation company because they are both passionate about construction and remodeling in particular. But more than that, they combined Dustin’s experience in the military and Paul’s operational management experience to create a ground-breaking technology-forward construction process that yields exceptional quality at reasonable cost.

DESIGN

The interior designers at Active Design & Build utilize Chief Architect architectural home design software to design and plan your project. Chief Architect is a leading 3D design software that enables us to both generate detailed technical drawings and provide 3D views and walkthroughs so that you can get an idea of the look and feel of your space before we begin.

ADB’s standards for blueprints ensure all relevant and key information is specified for each trade working on your project. The plans are printed on durable laminated sheets in large format (4’x3’) and posted clearly in your home for everyone to see. The project coordinator stops by most days to ensure everyone onsite understands the scope listed on the plans. These documents serve as our internal work instructions, but also contractually as your scope of work so that you know exactly what you are getting and what is included.

TECHNOLOGY

Construction is more than knowledge of how to build. Construction on your home is a complex project with many moving parts that must be managed. Though our project coordinators and project managers are highly experienced in construction, they are managers first. We use a cutting edge construction project management software platform, called Buildertrend, to keep our team and schedules on track. Best of all, you have access to Buildertrend through your desktop and mobile so that you can stay informed on the progress of your project, even from out of town!
