Thorsen is a 3rd generation boutique custom builder with a passion for constructing meaningful architecture. Since 1976, Thorsen has been consistently asked to collaborate on the region’s foremost residential projects. In each instance, Thorsen works closely with the design and ownership teams to create one-of-a-kind, truly bespoke homes.
Our firm is comprised of a seasoned management team and a group of highly skilled “in-house” craftsmen. The ability to have a portion of our work performed by Thorsen employees results in greater efficiency and project control in 3 key areas: 1) Quality control 2) Cost control 3) Timeline control. This “in-house” approach coupled with our 40+ years of building experience is one of the reasons why Thorsen was recently voted Custom Builder of the Year.
