How We Build
A Structured Approach to Mountain Construction
Every Bulldog Construction project follows a documented, four-phase process — designed for accountability, cost transparency, and precision execution.
The Four Phases
From Consultation to Closeout
Consultation & Budget Planning
- Review architectural plans and design intent
- Assess site conditions and access logistics
- Establish preliminary budget range
- Identify permitting requirements by jurisdiction
- Outline project timeline and milestones
Detailed Estimating & Allowances
- Line-item cost estimate via Buildertrend
- Clear allowance structure for owner-selected finishes
- Financing options and payment scheduling
- Subcontractor bidding and selection
- Final scope documentation and contract execution
Construction Execution
- Structured scheduling with weekly progress updates
- Progressive milestone invoicing via QuickBooks
- Real-time photo documentation through CompanyCam
- RFI tracking and change order management via Monday.com
- Continuous quality inspections at each phase
Final Walkthrough & Closeout
- Comprehensive punch list and resolution
- Final inspection and certificate of occupancy
- Warranty documentation and handover
- Complete project photo archive delivered
- Post-project follow-up and satisfaction review
Our Systems
Integrated Project Management
We operate through a coordinated suite of professional tools — each designed to deliver structure, clarity, and accountability at every stage of construction.
Progressive Invoicing
QuickBooks OnlineStructured billing tied to completed milestones. Clients see exactly what has been completed and billed — no surprises, no ambiguity.
Detailed Estimating
BuildertrendLine-item estimates with clear allowance structures. Every cost is documented, reviewed, and approved before construction begins.
Project Scheduling
Microsoft ProjectCoordinated timelines with weekly progress tracking. Subcontractors, materials, and inspections managed against a living schedule.
Client Communication & RFIs
Monday.comCentralized communication for requests, changes, and decisions. Every RFI is tracked and resolved with full documentation.
Photo Documentation
CompanyCamEvery phase photographed, timestamped, and organized — accessible to clients at any time through a secure project feed.
Quality Assurance
Internal QA ProtocolRigorous inspections at each milestone. Detailed punch lists and verified craftsmanship ensure nothing is overlooked.
Precision. Transparency. Accountability.
Real-Time Photo Documentation
Every Bulldog Construction project is documented through CompanyCam — a professional photo tracking platform that provides verified, timestamped documentation of every phase.
This isn't a marketing gimmick. It's an operational standard. When a foundation is poured, the photos are taken before the forms are stripped. When insulation is installed, it's photographed before drywall begins. Every critical juncture is captured, organized, and available to clients in real time.
- Timestamped, GPS-verified progress photos
- Organized by project phase and trade
- Client access via secure project feed
- Pre-cover documentation for all concealed work
- Complete project archive delivered at closeout
For homeowners managing a build from out of state — or simply wanting verifiable progress between site visits — CompanyCam provides the visibility that other builders leave to assumptions.

Why This Matters
Construction Without Ambiguity
Mountain construction is complex. Remote sites, seasonal weather constraints, multi-jurisdictional permitting, and specialized subcontractors all create opportunities for miscommunication, cost overruns, and quality compromises.
Our systems exist to eliminate those risks. When every dollar is tracked through progressive invoicing, every decision is documented through centralized RFI management, and every phase is photographed through CompanyCam — there is no room for ambiguity.
Whether you're building a luxury custom home in Aspen, executing a high-end remodel in Vail, or managing a mountain estate build from out of state — our process delivers the same level of structured accountability.
This is how we've completed 200+ projects across the Roaring Fork Valley and Vail Valley with a 5.0 Google rating and A+ BBB accreditation.
