Most contractors keep you in the dark. We built OVB around the opposite principle — you'll always know where your project stands, where your money is going, and what comes next.
Six phases. Clear communication at every one. No surprises, no guesswork — just a process built to protect your investment and your peace of mind.
We start with a no-pressure 15-minute call to understand your project, your goals, and your timeline. If it's a good fit, we schedule a site visit — evaluate your property, ask the right questions, and tell you honestly what's realistic.
Whether OVB is the right fit for your project — and if not, we'll tell you that too. No wasted time on either side.
We build a line-item Cost Plus estimate — not a lump sum with hidden margin buried inside. You see the actual cost of every trade, every material, and our management fee. No guessing what you're paying for.
Exactly where your budget is going before you sign anything. If the number surprises you, we'll talk through what to adjust before moving forward.
Once you're ready to move forward, we finalize the contract, build your project schedule, and lock in the right subcontractors — vetted tradespeople who show up, do quality work, and communicate.
Who is working on your home, when each phase starts, and what the full project timeline looks like — before a single tool hits the ground.
Your project is managed daily. We coordinate all trades, track progress against schedule, and handle every issue before it becomes your problem. You receive weekly updates on progress, upcoming work, and any decisions that need your input.
What happened this week, what's coming next week, and whether we're on schedule — without having to call and ask.
Before we call anything complete, we do a thorough Commissioning walkthrough with you — going line by line through every finish, fixture, and detail. Anything that doesn't meet your expectations gets addressed. No cutting corners at the finish line.
Every item has been reviewed and signed off. Nothing gets swept under the rug because the project is "basically done."
Our relationship doesn't end at the final walkthrough. Every OVB project includes a 36-month warranty — triple the Utah standard. If something isn't right in the first three years, we make it right. No runaround, no fine print.
You're covered. We built your home like we'd want our own built — because our reputation depends on every single project.
Most contractors bid a fixed price with their markup buried inside. You never know what the actual costs were, or how much they made on your project.
We operate differently. Every invoice, every subcontractor bid, every material cost — you see it all. Our management fee is transparent, agreed to upfront, and never changes without your approval.
OVB charges a management fee on top of actual project costs. This covers project management, coordination, scheduling, quality oversight, and your 36-month warranty. It's a percentage of total project cost, agreed to before we start — and it never changes without your approval.
Every subcontractor invoice, every material receipt — you have access to it all through our project management system. You're never left wondering what you paid for or whether the numbers add up.
With fixed-price bidding, contractors are incentivized to cut costs after signing. With Cost Plus, our incentive is to do the job right — because you see everything. Our reputation is built one project at a time.
Our management fee scales with project size — larger projects carry a lower percentage. We'll share exact numbers on your intro call. No surprises.
Every contractor says they do quality work and communicate well. Here's what that actually means at OVB.
Our 36-month warranty isn't a marketing line — it's a commitment backed by licensed workmanship and quality subcontractors. If something fails in three years, we fix it. No debate, no runaround.
Weekly project updates, real-time access to your job in our project management system, and a direct line to Taylor. You'll never have to wonder what's happening on your job site.
We're a licensed Utah GC with your contract, your budget, and your project in our name. If something goes wrong, we don't point fingers at subs — we own it and fix it.
Honest answers to the things every homeowner wants to know before hiring a contractor.
With a fixed bid, the contractor builds their margin into a lump sum and you never see the real costs. With Cost Plus, you see every invoice and pay actual costs plus an agreed management fee. Full visibility, full control.
Only if you approve it. Every scope change requires your sign-off before work begins. If we encounter something unexpected, we stop, tell you, and present options before proceeding. You're always in control.
It depends on scope, permitting timelines, and material lead times. A basement finish might run 8–12 weeks. A major addition can run 6–12 months. We'll give you a realistic schedule before you sign and track against it weekly.
Yes — permitting is part of our process, not an afterthought. We pull the appropriate permits, schedule inspections, and make sure every phase is code-compliant. This protects your investment long-term.
We primarily serve Eden, Huntsville, and the Ogden Valley, along with Morgan Valley, North Ogden, Summit County, and Davis County. If you're on the Wasatch Back or northern Utah, reach out.
We focus on projects where our Cost Plus process adds real value — typically $75K and above. Smaller projects may not benefit from our full management system, and we'd rather be honest about fit upfront.
No pressure, no commitment. Tell us about your project and we'll tell you if we're the right fit — usually within one business day.
