Our Process
We have a time-tested process that works for everyone. From a comprehensive interview to understand your wants and needs, to working closely with your architect and designer from the start; we tap into a variety of channels to ensure your plans and vision are executed flawlessly from beginning to end.
From there, we gather all the necessary front-end documentation including architectural plans, specifications, engineering, and pricing. We provide a detailed good faith estimate, construction schedule, qualifications and detailed bid documents.
We understand that nobody likes surprises when building their custom home, so we are completely transparent and detailed throughout our process. This ensures you know exactly what you are getting for the price. It is in everyone’s best interest to tightly control quality as well as costs.
Once everything is approved, construction begins. We assemble the best team of experienced contractors based on the particular needs for the home. Unique to Phillip Wentzel, we have an experienced project superintendent on-site throughout the entire construction process to ensure that quality, standards, safety, deadlines, and budget are all met. Our superintendents have an average of 25 years of construction experience and know what to look for. They know how to recognize any potential problems and have the expertise and experience to solve them, ensuring the project runs smoothly from start to finish. We produce daily reports and progress photos, and keep you informed every step of the way.
Once your home is built, we provide an outstanding service and warranty program as well as detailed homeowner maintenance guidelines.
Our History
Phillip Wentzel Campbell founded PWCampbell in 1910 as a general contractor in the Pittsburgh area constructing stunning, iconic wrap-around porches and other general construction projects. Since then, the company has evolved into a fourth-generation, full-range professional firm providing consulting and construction services and Phillip Wentzel Custom Homes was a natural part of this evolution. Through the years we have experienced dozens of significant historical events, market ups and downs, and changes in homeowner needs and styles, but one thing has remained constant: our role as a leading custom residential builder committed to satisfying the needs of a growing number of clients each year.
Being family-owned and managed has been in the DNA of Phillip Wentzel since the very beginning. With a strong reputation for quality work, more than two-thirds of our projects come from referrals or repeat clients.
