FAQs

What types of projects are a good fit?
If you're planning a remodel, custom home, addition, ADU, or a small commercial project like a tenant finish or restaurant, you're in the right place.
Do you work in my area?
Projects are completed throughout Northern Colorado, including Fort Collins, Loveland, Windsor, Timnath, and nearby communities.
Are you properly licensed and insured?
Yes—your project is protected with full licensing, general liability, and workers’ compensation coverage.
Can you help with design, or do I need that first?
You don’t need everything figured out—we can connect you with trusted designers or collaborate with your existing team.
When should I reach out to a contractor?
Earlier than you think. Getting input during the design phase helps you avoid budget surprises and costly revisions later.
How much is this realistically going to cost?
It depends on your goals, finishes, and site—but you’ll get clear, honest pricing as early as possible so you can plan with confidence.
How long will the process take?
Timelines vary, but you’ll always have a clear understanding of what to expect based on your specific project and scope.
Will I have to deal with permits and inspections?
No—those are handled for you, so everything meets local requirements without added stress on your end.
How do I know what I’m actually agreeing to?
You’ll receive a detailed proposal that clearly outlines scope, cost, and timeline—so there are no gray areas.
Can you work with my architect or designer?
Absolutely. Collaboration is a big part of the process, and projects often come with an existing design team.
How do payments work?
Payments are broken into manageable phases tied to progress—not large upfront sums.
What if I want to make changes along the way?
That’s normal. Changes are handled through a clear process so you understand any cost or timeline impact before moving forward.
Will I know what’s going on during construction?
Yes—you’ll get regular updates and clear communication so you’re never left guessing.
How do you make sure the work is done right?
Through detailed planning, experienced crews, and consistent oversight focused on quality from start to finish.
What’s the first step if I’m interested?
Start with a conversation. You’ll get clarity on your options, your timeline, and what makes the most sense for your project.

Cory & Beau are contractors you can trust to take care of your needs and complete your project on time and within budget. We hired them to finish our Barre Forte fitness studio in Loveland, CO - from start to finish, everything went smoothly and the results are beyond our expectations. They are both upfront and honest, and available when needed. This was our first time going through such a project, and they were patient and understanding and helped us work through decisions. Could not speak more highly of our experience with Poudre Construction.
