Patrick Patterson is the proprietor and general contractor of Sugarhouse Builders, located in West Dover Vermont. Patrick has decades of experience in creative designing and constructing of quality Energy Star homes across Southern Vermont. The designs vary from post and beam construction, to standard stick frame construction. Patrick uses only quality building materials, utilizing local suppliers. He has exemplary recommendations, which are available upon request. Michael Fayette is also an experienced quality builder, who has worked side by side with Patrick on all projects. Michael compliments Patrick with hard work and ability, overseeing and completing projects.

Once building plans are complete, the home construction process begins. Each job is overseen by the owners Patrick or Mike who are responsible for the day to day activity and progress on the job. They also make certain that the work being performed is in accordance with our standards and they are available to address any concerns or questions the trade contractors and/or Owners may have pertaining to the construction.

Prior to the start of any building project, a schedule is developed to guide the progress of each phase of construction. This schedule is maintained in-house and all of the major suppliers and trade contractors are notified of the time they are expected to start and complete their part of the project. This enables us to deliver our custom-built homes and renovation projects within the allotted time of completion stated in the Contract.

A Selections Sheet is created and given to our customers prior to start of construction. The Selection Sheet guides the customer through the process of selecting items to be built into their home such as types of kitchen cabinetry, counter tops, flooring, lights, etc. The Selection Sheet also includes a list of suppliers we recommend to work with, based upon past experiences. This Selection Sheet will also let the customer know when the items need to be available on site in order to maintain the construction schedule. This helps the customer and the suppliers they choose arrange for delivery of the products on time.

At the start of the building project we also provide our customers with a Project Manual. This enables the customers to maintain any documents /correspondence relating to their home in an organized manner. We provide them with a copy of their Contract, a set of plans, Change Orders, Selection Sheets, Appliance Specifications, etc. We also maintain the same book in-house so that all correspondence between the customer, our office and any trade contractor is easily accessible.

We utilize these and other methods to make the process of construction efficient, effective and pleasurable.
