Paragon is one of the region's most respected project and construction management firms.

We offer a full spectrum of construction management services for custom homes.
Project Management is a highly professional system designed to facilitate planning, coordination and control of a project from inception to completion. With multiple project stakeholders, and each team member focused on their particular contractual role, an experienced, technically competent project Manager is like the glue holding the process together, helping to define project goals - beginning with initial programming to define of scope, functions, roles & resources, aesthetics, providing technical and managerial expertise where required, controlling budgets, initiating cost savings ideas, mitigating risks, and ensuring communication.
Paragon’s capabilities are based on the combined knowledge and experience, technical capability, and advanced expertise developed over many years in the construction industry - and a dedication to the project management profession. We thoroughly understand that successful projects require a thoughtful blend of knowledge and capability, vision and leadership, and a respect for the processes that come from years of experience - to guide our projects from inception through planning, design, construction and fit-up. Certain fundamental understandings must be developed and maintained between us and our clients so that the many collaborative processes work very well. We have a particularly strong ability to understand and interpret our clients’ preferences and translate this information into effective project programming – not surprisingly, this “connection” is a great source of trust and satisfaction to everyone involved.
Quality: Our quality management is based on experience, methodical practices, diligence and commitment. We are committed to quality – it is one of the best ways we know to build good relationships with our customers and, we fully understand the many aspects of managing and controlling quality from the early stages of our projects, through to occupancy.
Fundamentals - exceptional custom homes begin with a well considered vision – which must be followed by thoughtful, creative and methodical design development, to create complex solutions to each unique matrix of aesthetics and functionality. this is a boiler plate fundamental that at the foundation of all of our projects. For example, in addition to its functional effectiveness, a well designed home has to consider the environment, the neighborhood, views and natural light, path of the sun, whether the site is sloped or flat or treed or rocky - and the opportunities created by a “really interesting” site, locations of neighbors and the public, opportunities to create naturally private outdoor spaces. In addition to the design being a contemporary response to existing conditions (of a neighborhood or natural setting), once the home is completed it should contain qualities that, regardless of budget, location and size, make it feel familiar and comfortable to the owners, like it has been there for years.
