Craft That Shows
Rob has a background in art and finance, which sounds like an odd combination until you see what it produces on a job site. He catches things others miss and finds solutions that save money without giving anything up.
One Builder, Start to Finish
CHS operates as the GC on every project. No project managers, no handoffs, no one reporting up a chain. The work happens alongside your architect from the earliest stages, where the decisions that matter most are still easy to get right.
Full Financial Transparency
Every draw is backed by individual invoices. No material markups, any trade discount goes back to the client. CHS's fee sits as its own line on every project summary. No surprises on the invoice means no surprises on the build.
WHO IS CHS?
CHS builds custom homes in one of the most demanding construction environments in the country. High-altitude sites, complex terrain, tight build seasons, and clients who don't have patience for a builder who isn't on top of it. Rob Van Deren has been GC on hundreds of residential home projects. Together with his trusted and skilled team, he oversees each and every project.
In practice, CHS manages every decision, every trade, every detail from ground break to final walkthrough, getting involved early, working directly alongside architects, and drawing on a subcontractor network vetted over two decades. Problems get caught before they land on the client.
The process is collaborative by design. Whether you're still working through the concept or have plans ready to go, CHS works with clients at every stage. The earlier the better, but there's no wrong time to reach out.
