Custom Home Builder

Marquand Contracting Corp. is a locally owned general contracting company responsible for some of the finest custom homes in Irvine and surrounding communities. Utilizing award-winning architectural firms and top trade subcontractors, we are proud of our ability to rapidly complete projects that embody top quality materials and finishes at a reasonable cost.

Quality

Quality workmanship is an integral element in our home-building process, and is exemplified from the foundation through the finishing touches. The mantra that we instill in everyone that works on our projects is to complete their work “the best way possible”: This attention to detail is apparent in every aspect of our finished work product. The constant guidance we provide to owners extends from concept and design through material selection and execution of finishes. We pride ourselves on being insightful—we don’t just want to find the answer, we want to help discover the right answer for that particular owner and that particular decision. Our deep experience allows us to provide intelligent and nuanced “pros” and “cons” regarding almost any product or material consideration.

Speed

One of the most challenging aspects of home construction owners typically face is the timeframe involved. We are unique in our commitment to maintain a “time to complete” that is routinely months less than competing homebuilders. This efficiency is made possible by our selection of dedicated subcontractors with the capacity and manpower to work quickly and diligently on our projects.

In addition, we utilize a sophisticated project management software system (BuilderTREND) that provides us with daily subcontractor performance tracking and monitoring which enables us to react promptly to any emerging problems that could impact the schedule.

This dynamic system also provides email reminders to our owners of pending material selection needs and deadlines, thereby eliminating roadblocks that could otherwise develop if timely decisions were delayed.

Communication

Effective communication between our homeowners and our employees is the hallmark of our firm. Our fully staffed Irvine office is the nexus of our communication, but direct email, text and phone contact between project managers, company management and our owners is encouraged and fully supported.

Our use of the BuilderTREND web-based management software allows for robust, two-way communication with our owners regarding change orders, material selection, schedule visibility, warranty details and many other aspects of the homebuilding process.
