The Calderco approach

One builder,
answerable for the whole house.

Calderco builds, repairs and documents residential construction. The same contractor who manages a new home is retained by attorneys mostly to explain what was done wrong at a property, and what it costs to make right.

Spaces made for living.

Reports & Observations

Chapter 558 reports, construction-defect observations, repair cost estimates and testimony, for attorneys and the parties they represent.

Reports
Study model

What is behind the finish.

A builder knows how a house is put together. A report starts at the same cut: what is behind the finish, and whether it was built as it should have been.

Drag the line, or drag the model.

Before it is covered

The part of the house you never see.

Waterproofing, framing and roof structure are photographed before they are closed in.

The same record a homeowner gets at handover is the record a report relies on when something goes wrong.
