Experience the Art of Fine Homebuilding

“All Homes are designed, few homes are designed well”

Evan Sawyer Master Builder offers fresh innovative design with our award winning personal design service. We have received many awards and recognition on both local and national levels for our timeless designs. Our in house personal design service caters to you individual needs, specific ideas, and special features. Whether you already have plans & ideas that need modification or you want fresh innovative design, Evan sawyer will transform your dreams into reality.

We carefully evaluate the building lot conditions, utilize a site plan, and then combine homeowner requirements to create a preliminary concept of their dream home. Once preliminary concepts are established, we then produce auto cad computer generated drawings. This level of technology minimizes the potential of human error while allowing any changes and adjustments with ease. All Evan sawyer home plans are carefully examined, certified, and stamped by a licensed professional structural engineer.

Evan Sawyer’s unique approach to design will save thousands compared to an architectural firm, give you exactly what you want, & keep the project within the budget. Our designs are also very practical by properly utilizing materials to get the very most out of every board. This dramatically reduces waste while increasing square footage capabilities. The result; more house for the money! Our designs not only make sense, they work. If you want to get it right the first time, you have found the right builder!

Our foundations are the best in the industry.

We fully understand how critical it is to a well-built home. We build steel reinforced concrete with continuous footers for girders and beams. Our girders are actually steel I-beams. Unlike conventional wood, steel has superior strength and will not shrink or compress.

Our Stem Walls are much stronger than conventional code requirements. Utilizing Thermal Mass construction we build sealed conditioned crawl spaces & absolute dry waterproof basements, both are insulated and both with a poured reinforced concrete slab/floor. Literally no dirt under your house! ESMB developed this exclusive method by incorporating both building science technology and green build practices.

The result is a dry pressurized crawl space or basement that is not susceptible to dampness, mold, critters and termites while dramatically reducing heat and air conditioning energy costs.

ESMB offers the option of continuing “Thermal Mass” construction throughout the rest of the home.

When building a conventional home with wood framing, ESMB only uses genuine sawn lumber for floor joists and wall studs. Conventional sawn lumber is much stronger, has less deflection and is naturally more fire resistant than fabricated floor joists commonly known as T.J.I.’s. Fabricated floor joists (TJI’s) are made with wood chips and glue (known accelerants) and will actually delaminate over time. The (TJI’s) have an estimated lifespan of about 50 years.

From the footing of the foundation to the last shingle on the roof, our building materials are carefully selected for quality, value, & performance. We stay on the cutting edge of our industry carefully researching and scrutinizing the latest innovations concerning materials and methods of construction. We are very cautious and fully understand that “newer” or “latest” is most often a cost-cutting method that could be inferior to good old-fashioned time honored and proven “old school” construction.

Your home will reflect a level of unsurpassed craftsmanship and skill. We employ only the finest trades and purchase the best materials.

The disapointment of lesser quality remains long after the sweetness of a lower price.

Evan Sawyer Master Builder will give you the best of good old-fashioned Fine Homebuilding combined with the latest style and cutting edge technology. You will be confident and having “peace of mind” knowing your Master Builder custom home will be safe & secure, it will stand for generations.
