Maple Valley Design Build, Inc opened doors in 2011, literally and figuratively . . . the goal was to completely integrate the design and construction process in order to provide the client with a better PROCESS and a better PRODUCT.
To this end, Owner and Architect, Greg Boshart AIA has patiently assembled a team of craftsman as a melting pot of ideals, experiences and expertise woven deeply into the design and construction fabric that is Maple Valley Design Build. With carpenters and architects under one roof, the process is inherently more interactive and agile.
In the end, this means more VALUE, better QUALITY, greater EFFICIENCY and a BETTER PRODUCT . . .
