Honest Estimating
If we quote it, we mean it. Real scope, real numbers, real timelines — not a number designed to win a job.
We're a design-build contractor that lives where the plans meet the dirt. From the first sketch to the final inspection — we're accountable for the whole foot.
By The Foot LLC was built the same way our projects are: one careful measurement at a time. After more than two and a half decades on job sites — framing walls, pouring slabs, hanging trim, and pulling permits — we put it all under one roof so clients get a single team accountable from concept to closeout.
We're equally at home stick-framing a custom home, panelizing a multi-unit project, or pushing a tough plan check through a tough department. That breadth is what keeps timelines honest and budgets tight.

One team, one number, one person responsible. No finger-pointing between architect, framer, and GC.
We started in the trades. Every plan is built with the field in mind, and every field call is made with the plan in mind.
A clean site is a safe site, and safe sites finish on time. Order on the deck means order in the books.
