Earned Advantages | Three Reasons to Consider Bontrager Builders Group | Pensacola, Florida

/in /by

Bontrager Builder’s Group has been a leading luxury home builder in Pensacola, Florida, for nearly 30 years. The company’s experience in luxury home construction throughout the Gulf Coast region has made them the top choice for homeowners seeking a quality build that caters to their unique needs. Our commitment to our community along with our long-running experience allows us a number of advantages – some of which we will magnify in this post.

A Local Connection

A primary advantage of Bontrager Builder’s Group’s history in Pensacola is its extensive knowledge of the local landscape, weather patterns, and building codes. This knowledge enables the company to create homes that are not only stunning but also structurally sound and built to withstand the elements unique to our region. The company’s expertise in the Gulf Coast means that they understand the challenges that come with building in this area, such as hurricanes and flooding, and know how to design homes that are resilient to these conditions.

A Long-Running Attention to Detail

We are fortunate to work with clients with discerning tastes. Attention to detail and the selection of only the finest elements is key to the Bontrager Builder’s Group recipe. President Roger Bontrager got his start in the construction field as a member of a framing crew, before moving on to master finish carpentry and trim work, and ultimately, earning a contractor’s license and founding Bontrager Builders Group, Inc. Attention detail was built into our company’s DNA from the very beginning.

Focused on the Result

As the builder, we understand that we must represent the client’s wishes to our partners throughout the construction process. Bontrager Builder’s Group’s long-standing reputation in the Emerald Coast area has earned us a network of trusted professionals, including architects, designers, and suppliers. This long-built trust allows us to keep your project moving efficiently and focused on the end result – a beautiful home worthy of the client’s dreams.

Our commitment to service and attention to detail has been hard-won over the last 25+ years. We bring that hard-won experience to the table on each project we undertake. We have a history not just in business, but in our community. We can provide references and portfolios to prove the quality and beauty of our luxury projects. Since Bontrager Builders Group’s founding, our focus has been on more than building the perfect home or commercial space – we aim to build long-lasting client relationships that live up to our guiding principles of honesty, integrity, and the highest quality.

The Push to the Finish Line - The Bontrager Builders Group Process - Florida

The Team Push to the Finish Line | The Bontrager Builders Group Process

/in /by

Formula 1 racing is considered to be the pinnacle of motorsport. With so much camera time placed upon the drivers and the on-track team members, it can sometimes mask the monumental level of work required by hundreds of others to get a car to the track and into championship-winning contention. Teams and organizations have a process that gets them from the planning stages to the final execution. Much like a well-oiled race team, we here at Bontrager Builders Group have a process in place that can take you from the discussion phase to being handed the keys to your new, luxurious home.

Kimi Raikkonen - Alfa Romeo at Silverstone, 2021.

Kimi Raikkonen’s Alfa Romeo takes a curve at Silverstone. One of the legendary ‘Flying Finns’, Raikkonen ended his career in 2021 with more race starts than any other driver in Formula 1 history, proving a calm, committed demeanor can often win the day!

The discussion. Each project is different but united by our desire to ensure that the final project matches and exceeds your expectations. This means constant communication between you, the client, and the Bontrager Builders Group team. This is particularly crucial in the beginning stages of the project and allows us to sort through potential issues to ensure a solid foundation for the entire project. This initial consultation and discussion phase is critical and one that we pride ourselves in executing cleanly every time.

Relationship. Although it may seem fairly straightforward at first, we understand that there is more to the luxury homebuilding process than the structure itself. The emotional attachment you have to the project is paramount to the process. Our expert staff devotes an uncommonly high level of care and attention to detail to each of our clients. We don’t take it lightly when you choose to join the Bontrager family! We are always here to consult and assist.

The finish line. When the final detail is affixed and the keys are handed over, we hope that the relationship we have built throughout the process continues. Bontrager Builders Group’s goal is to always establish trusted, lasting relationships and lines of communication with our clients. We take the responsibility of building your dream home with great seriousness and pride. You deserve a finished home that meets and exceeds your expectations. That is always our goal here at Bontrager Builders Group.

A solid team with a clear vision. That is our company goal and one we work towards each day on every new construction and renovation project we are asked to undertake. Our attention to detail and ability to adapt to the tastes of any client has made us one of Northwest Florida’s premier luxury custom homebuilders.

Learning to hit the curveball - working through stress - bontrager builders group - Pensacola, Florida

Learning To Hit The Curve Ball

/in /by

Sometimes life comes at us like a fastball. Straightforward. Right down the middle. We as individuals and as a business can get into the swing of a rapid life. But then, life can throw us the old-fashioned curveball. We swing, we miss, and we are out.

Bontrager Builders Group is currently working on a large commercial project in the Pensacola, FL region. My staff along with the commercial facility’s staff meet weekly for an early morning meeting to stay in the same playbook. A few weeks ago, my construction superintendent noted how he gets everything lined up and ready to go for the coming week – and then the inevitable curveball comes in and throws the plans for a loop. Another person in the meeting commented, “You just need to learn to hit the curveball!”

That is all well and good, but what can we do to make sure our swing connects?

Break the stressing-out cycle

Issues with a project can easily cause a bit of stress. Stress can often be cyclical. Why exactly are we feeling stressed about a situation? Is it something that we can control or is it something we have to push through with the understanding that we just have to get out from under it? Stress and busyness are a normal part of our everyday life – however, we need to be cautious to not allow them to overtake us. Often, when working on projects, the list of ‘to-dos’ can quickly become a source of that stress. Our team often uses the satisfaction of completing a project-related task as motivation to move onward.

Be prepared to adapt

The motto of the Boy Scouts is “Be Prepared.” Ask any Scout or Scouter and they will quickly assure you that the best plans can quickly meet reality. (A relaxing camping trip can be quickly turned into a field test for rain gear by a passing thunderstorm.) The motto speaks more to a mindset than it does anything else. Be prepared. Make notes and plan ahead, but do so with the full understanding that you may have to pivot when it comes to execution. The day’s construction plan may call for the installation of the kitchen renovation’s granite countertops on Thursday, but you may have to work on another segment of the project if the supplier comes up short. The shortages and unpredictability seen in the building materials market have kept us on our toes recently. When issues that require a solution rear their head in any renovation or construction project – that’s ok! It’s a normal part of anything intricate. We accept the issue and work through the solution. When you’ve been in the business for more than twenty-five years, you have seen it before and you know you will see it again. You have to acknowledge the challenges of any job and tackle them with the same high attention to detail every time. Find consistency in life’s inconsistencies!

In baseball, a curveball can throw the batter for a loop. However, once it is thrown by them again and again, they can quickly dial in their swing to hit the ball out of the park. That is what the Bontrager Builders Group strives to do each day on every new construction and renovation project we are asked to undertake. Our attention to detail and ability to adapt to the tastes of any client has made us one of Northwest Florida’s premier luxury custom homebuilders. Interested in our services?
