Built for the complex ones.
Difficult sites, demanding logistics, and the projects other builders turn down.
Silverstone Building takes on a small number of complex and remote projects each year (difficult sites, demanding structural work, and hard-to-reach locations), from the Seattle area to remote islands in Alaska and the jungles of Hawaii.
What we mean by complex.
Some projects are hard because of the structure: demanding engineering, difficult retrofits, work that has to hold up under real stress. Others are hard because of where they are: steep or remote sites, no easy access, materials and crews that have to be planned around like a small expedition. We take on both.
Where we've worked.
We've built on remote islands in Alaska and in the jungles of Hawaii: places where the nearest supplier is a boat or a flight away and there's no room for a missed delivery or a half-solved problem. That kind of work demands planning, self-sufficiency, and a crew that can solve things on site. It's a small part of what we do each year, and it's some of the work we're proudest of.
Why it matters for your project.
You may never build on an island. But the discipline those projects demand (planning for what could go wrong, solving problems before they become expensive, running tight logistics) is the same discipline we bring to a difficult remodel three miles from our shop. When your project turns up something hard, it isn't unfamiliar territory.
A note on fit.
These are involved projects, and we take on only a handful each year. If you've got something genuinely difficult (structurally, logistically, or by location), that's exactly the conversation we most want to have.
Complex & remote projects FAQ.
Demanding engineering or retrofits, or difficult locations: steep, remote, or hard-access sites where logistics have to be planned like a small expedition.
Yes, for the right project. We take on only a handful each year; if you've got something genuinely difficult, that's the conversation we most want to have.
The same discipline (planning for what could go wrong, tight logistics) is what we bring to a difficult remodel close to home.
