The Preconstruction Investment
Before you sign, we build a real line-by-line budget from actual subcontractor quotes. Not a ballpark. Not a guess.
Questionnaire
You complete a detailed questionnaire about your vision, must-haves, and budget range.
Site Meeting
Ryan walks your property with you to assess site conditions, utilities, and buildability.
Real Budget
Ryan works with our subcontractors to build a full line-by-line budget with actual quotes.
Presentation
We review the budget together in detail — every line item, every trade, every allowance.
Fee Applied
If you sign with MCM, the preconstruction fee is applied toward your construction contract per the terms of your agreement.
Why This Matters
- Real budget from actual subcontractor quotes — not a ballpark
- You know the number before you sign anything

"We want your money to go into your home — not into compounding fees."
The Cost-Plus Promise
Cost-Plus: you pay actual costs + a fixed management fee. No markups. No surprises. Every invoice visible in JobTread.
You upgrade to a better countertop
Typical Cost-Plus Contractor: Fee is recalculated on the higher cost — you pay more in fees
MCM's Approach: You pay the actual cost difference only — no fee markup on upgrades
Material prices rise after signing
Typical Cost-Plus Contractor: Fee increases with the higher material cost
MCM's Approach: Our fee stays on the original contract scope — price increases don't compound our fee
You want to see where your money is going
Typical Cost-Plus Contractor: Summary invoices, limited detail
MCM's Approach: Every invoice is visible in JobTread — full backup provided with every request
A change order is needed
Typical Cost-Plus Contractor: Verbal approval, added to final bill
MCM's Approach: Written quote in JobTread first. Nothing proceeds without your written approval.
The short version: Our fee is calculated on the original contract scope and doesn't compound as you make upgrades or as material prices move. You'll have full visibility into what you're paying and why — every invoice is documented in JobTread.

We Build Any Style You Envision
There is no single style we specialize in — because your home should reflect you, not a catalog. From French Country and European Inspired to Modern Farmhouse, Craftsman, Contemporary, and everything in between, we bring your vision to life with the same disciplined process and personal attention regardless of style.
Modern Farmhouse
Clean lines, board-and-batten siding, metal roofing, and open living spaces that blend rustic warmth with modern function.
French Country & European
Steep rooflines, stone facades, arched entries, and refined details that bring old-world character to a new custom build.
Craftsman & Bungalow
Exposed beams, tapered columns, natural materials, and handcrafted details that celebrate artisan construction.
Contemporary & Modern
Bold geometry, expansive glass, open floor plans, and minimalist finishes for a clean, forward-looking aesthetic.
Traditional & Colonial
Symmetrical facades, brick or stone exteriors, formal rooms, and timeless proportions built to last generations.
Your Vision
Don't see your style listed? Good — we build to your vision, not a preset menu. Bring us your inspiration and we'll make it happen.

High-End Custom Home With Outdoor Living Space
A detailed look at how Morreau Construction managed a luxury custom home build — from preconstruction planning through move-in day — featuring an expansive outdoor kitchen, covered living area, and luxury interior finishes.
“Since we lived out of town during our home build, having someone we could completely trust through the entire process was extremely important. Ryan treated our project as if it were his very own home, managing every detail with care, professionalism, and true ownership.”
The Structure of a Larger Builder. The Accountability of One Owner.
Leadership & Accountability
Ryan Morreau directs every project personally. One point of contact, one person answerable for schedule, budget, and quality — from the first site walk to the final walkthrough.
The Trade Network
The same proven crews across 25+ builds: foundation, framing, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, and finish trades, coordinated on a disciplined schedule. Vetted relationships, not cold bids.
The Systems
JobTread project management, weekly written updates, written change orders before any work proceeds, full insurance coverage — and bonding when a project requires it. The infrastructure clients expect from a large firm — without the layers between you and the person in charge.
Let's Build Your Custom Home Together
MCM is intentionally selective about the projects we take on — not because of capacity, but because Ryan's model requires direct personal involvement at every phase, and that standard can’t be diluted. If your project is a fit, the first step is a straightforward conversation — no commitment, no pressure. Ryan will walk you through the Preconstruction Investment process and give you a real budget built from actual subcontractor quotes before you sign anything.
