Design/Build

OUR DESIGN/BUILD PROCESS HAS NO BOUNDARIES

From elevators, professional recording studios and wine cellars, living room concert halls, hobby/art collection rooms, to art studios handling toxic materials and special needs individuals details,  nothing is out of your reach in the design and build of your new J.G. Madueña custom home.  Every nuance of your lifestyle, needs and desires will be valued to ensure your new home is everything you want it to be.

Good design and careful communication is paramount to Jim’s build plan.  The design phase will culminate with the Detailed Project Plans and Specifications.  Every detail is addressed including budget for your home. There are no surprises!

"The home has exceeded my expectations" are the kinds of comments from our long distance clients. 

IT’S ALL ABOUT YOU

J.G. Madueña is Designing and Creating your “One of a Kind” Home Reflecting Your Unique Style and Taste.   If you have an idea of what your home will be like or are undecided, Jim  will work with you to translate everything you want…everything you have imagined into the perfect home for you.  Your partnership with Jim  is a collaboration facilitated by his guidance in design and construction.

Jim’s Program for Design can accommodate even the busiest clients. Jim will listen to you and  ask a lot of questions.  He will  learn what matters to you… what styling is right for you… what features will best enhance your daily life. And in the process, together as a team, explore new ideas… fresh concepts… and push the limits to ensure your home is right for you from day one and for the rest of your life.

We’ll talk about your needs today, but we’ll also explore what those needs may be in the future.  Accessibility may not seem important right now, but it’s an important long-term consideration… one that, if taken into consideration now, could save you thousands later on.

YOU’LL BE CONNECTED, INFORMED AND INVOLVED

In building with J.G. Madueña, you’re putting a great deal of confidence in us.  That’s why we focus on transparency and communication.  We are committed to ensuring that you are connected, informed and involved from start to finish.

Whether you are here in New Mexico or out-of-state during the design and build, you can be sure that we’ll work hand in hand with you through every little decision and choice… and all the big ones as well.

We’ll keep you informed regarding building techniques, deliveries, installations… all the details that matter to you.  If there’s any question about anything, no matter how big or small, we’ll contact you. 

EXCEPTIONAL STANDARD FEATURES

The Standard features in a JG Madueña Home are not the typical standard building codes. The standards for our homes are above the ordinary required building codes and these features  are included in the base price of your home. Standard building codes are a place where we could cut corners. But, we won’t because JG Madueña sets the bar above the ordinary (standard building codes) to create highly efficient and beautiful homes and that is one big reason why our clients love their JG Madueña home.

When we sit together and review everything that will be included in the price of your home, we know that you will clearly recognize that we are partners in this process… two parties working together to build an exceptionally well built beautiful custom home and a lasting relationship… one that is valued now and for the years to come. 

BUILDING GREEN

There are standards in green building, and there are choices.  Your home can be as green as you want it to be.  Together, we’ll review the many choices, from construction techniques and materials to the extensive differences in efficiencies and ratings that you’ll find in windows, appliances, lighting and more.

Owner, Jim Madueña, is a “Certified Green Professional” through National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) and a graduate of the advanced Building Science Courses.  He served as 2010 Chair of the Home Builder Association (HBA) of Central NM Green Build Council.

Why is that important to you?  The value is this: Jim will leverage his expertise in residential building techniques, materials, design, building orientation, and green technologies in the design and build of your new home, giving you peace of mind knowing that you’ve selected a builder who is committed to being an industry leader and the best in new home construction, sustainability and energy conservation.

OUTDOOR LIVING

Living in New Mexico affords one an enviable lifestyle… one that incorporates outdoor living into daily life.  And that’s exactly why we feel so strongly about working together with you to maximize your outdoor living spaces.

It starts with designing, orienting and building your home to blend in naturally with your home site, vegetation and landscape.  And, it continues with a focus on an indoor-to-outdoor living environment that transitions seamlessly… visually and functionally.

Decks, patios, walls, seating, shade structures, outdoor cooking, fire pits, water features, planters and lighting are just some of the many considerations we’ll review with you.  We’ll explore options in materials to create a naturally, visually-appealing outdoor environment, yet one that’s comfortable, inviting, and sustainable for everyday living and enjoyable entertaining.

SITE SELECTION & ORIENTATION

The setting…. the landscape… the views… all are important considerations when choosing your home site.  Perhaps you’ve already selected a site.  If so, we’ll spend considerable time there to consider how to best orient your home to enhance views, natural light and energy efficiency.

If you’re looking for a site, we’ll talk with you to learn what factors are most important to you, and then will explore and present every option that we believe will meet your wish list.

QUALIFICATIONS & CERTIFICATIONS

Your confidence, trust, and peace of mind are important to us.  As a custom home builder, we know that your design/build experience will be shared.  And that’s why we take our role as designer and builder, and our relationship with you, so seriously.

Every step we take… every detail… is planned and executed with you, and your satisfaction, in mind.
We work hard to earn your trust.  That includes excelling in the home building industry.  Below are our qualifications and certifications as demonstration of our commitment to quality, in the industry as a whole, and in building a home you’ll enjoy and treasure for a lifetime.
