Randy Pritchard is a residential custom builder and has been flawlessly completing jaw-dropping designs and construction projects as his profession his whole adult life. Janelle Pritchard is a life-long professional with a career background in finance and a deep affection for client service, interior design, and construction project management.

The Backwoods Design Build Company is a family-owned business and was created on the foundation of both Janelle and Randy’s strengths and passions. They felt the mainstream construction industry needed refinement in the areas of client experience and service, creativity in residential architectural design, and workmanship. The Backwoods is known and respected for its level of integrity, professionalism, and workmanship both in the office and in the field.

Simple and straightforward, the design-build process can transform a typically stressful project into a cooperative and enjoyable experience. For any size, construction project communication is the key to efficient and successful execution. The design-build method ensures that the contractor, architects, designers, trade partners, and clients are all in frequent, open communication because we all work on the same team.

As a design-build firm, The Backwoods takes ownership of the complete project, progressing a project through the varied creative design phases and into successful construction completion. Our clients love the process because they don’t have the headaches of coordinating information between their architects, designers, and general contractor. We are one team and your one point of contact from start to finish.

With full accountability for the final product, we flip the traditional model for project management and execution. Committed to quality materials, streamlined process, and transparent communication, our design-build method is the most time-efficient and cost-effective approach to any new custom home build, home addition, home renovation or remodel project.
