More Than Three Decades of Construction Experience

Brian Macuga has worked in construction since the early 1990s, and his experience goes well beyond one type of project or one role.

Over the course of his career, he’s worked across:

• Hands-on construction, including framing, tile work, and footings
• Remodeling and custom home construction
• Production home building
• Customer service and homeowner relations
• Construction management and executive leadership
• Large-scale residential construction, including leading teams responsible for building and servicing thousands of homes
  
  

That range matters because every home and every project is a little different. You’re working with an existing structure, and sometimes you don’t know exactly what you’ll find until work is underway.

Brian’s experience shapes how we approach those moments. When an unexpected issue comes up, the goal is to understand what’s happening, talk through the options, and figure out the best way forward.

 

 

Straight Answers Without the Sales Pressure

A remodeling or custom home conversation shouldn’t feel like a sales pitch. At 7Acre Construction, the goal is to understand what you want to accomplish, answer your questions, and give you a clear sense of what may or may not make sense financially.

That means being willing to talk honestly about:

• Whether your goals are realistic for the home
• How your investment lines up with the scope you’re considering
• Whether your desired timeline is achievable
• Options that fit what you actually want, rather than steering you toward a larger project
  
  

Sometimes the most useful answer isn’t the one that leads to more work. Brian describes his approach as straightforward, knowledgeable, and calm, with an emphasis on giving homeowners useful information without putting pressure on them to move forward.

 

A Design-Build Approach That Starts With Your Goals

You don’t need to show up with finished plans or even know exactly how your project should come together. You can start with what you want to build and a rough idea of your ideal budget.

From there, our design-build process follows this sequence:

• Preliminary sketches and estimating to establish the general direction and cost
• Detailed plans based on measurements and existing conditions in the case of a remodel
• Product and finish specifications as the design takes shape
• Engineering and outside design expertise when the project calls for it
• A defined scope of work that brings the plans, selections, and project details together
• Permit planning so required permits are accounted for before construction begins
  
  

The advantage is that design and construction considerations develop together. Instead of designing the entire project first and figuring out how to build it later, the scope, design, and investment can be considered alongside one another from the beginning.

 

A Family-Oriented Approach to Remodeling & Custom Homes

A remodel isn’t happening in an empty building. It’s happening in the place where your family lives, gathers, and spends a big part of everyday life. And a custom home isn't happening on a ready-to-go plot of land.

That’s something we keep in mind throughout the project. Their approach is built around understanding how homeowners actually want to live in their homes and what the land needs to be completely ready to take on a custom home.

For families, that might mean thinking through:

• How spaces need to work for everyday routines
• Where the family naturally gathers and spends time together
• How the home can better support children, guests, or multiple generations
• What isn’t working about the current layout
• How the family’s needs may change over time
• How to make the remodeling experience feel manageable while work is underway

A Track Record of Customer Service & Quality

Long before starting 7Acre Construction, Brian Macuga learned that building a good home and taking care of the people who live in it go hand in hand.

While serving as Vice President of Construction for a national home builder, Brian led teams responsible for building and servicing more than 3,700 homes. During that five-and-a-half-year period:

• His construction and service teams consistently ranked among the top five nationally in independent customer-service surveys.
• The teams achieved first and third place for overall quality and customer service in three of those five years.
• His responsibilities covered both construction and post-construction service, giving him experience with what happens after homeowners move in.

That experience still influences how Brian approaches the work today. Quality matters, but so does the homeowner’s experience along the way.

A Team That Stays Involved Through Completion

Finishing construction isn’t quite the same thing as finishing the project. 7Acre Construction has a defined process for reviewing the work with homeowners and addressing remaining items before everything is signed off.

When a project reaches about 98% completion, the team schedules a completion meeting to walk through the space, identify anything that still needs attention, and establish a date for completing those final items.

And the relationship doesn’t end there. We provide a one-year limited warranty on remodels, custom homes, and commercial upfits, subject to the terms of our warranty agreement.
