MEET THE TEAM
Elaine Cawlfield
Owner, CEO
MEET ELAINE
Elaine is a Colorado native and grew up in the building (construction) industry. Her integrity and values of providing the best home for our clients was instilled from an early age and is the foundation of the values of Villagree Luxury Homes.
Elaine has a degree in Business Management and an MBA in Technology Management. She is a Real Estate Broker and offers our clients the ease of being able to sell their current home or locate a lot so they can build their dream home.
As a General Contractor and being in the custom home building industry for over 30 years, her favorite thing is being on the build site when she has time.
She is proud of her company. “We have a terrific, passionate team at Villagree and go the extra mile when it comes to building an incredibly sound, beautiful home.”
Certain aspects of our builds we deem as essentials that some other builders do not. A number of these are elements you will never see such as added structural engineering, focusing on quality control, enhancing energy efficiency, and high-quality materials and finishes.
Every home is ENERGY STAR certified. We strive for much more than just meeting building codes.
Elaine values the importance of using the best trades for our builds so as to not compromise the integrity and quality of the home. Trade relations are a vital component of every build process.
At Villagree, our goal is building a dream home for our clients that they can enjoy for years to come. As a fixed-cost builder, our clients know up front how much their build is going to cost vs the cost-plus model which can easily price someone out of being able to build the home of their dreams.
