Our commitments

What you can expect from MAE.

Board-formed concrete walls with wood-grain texture over waterproofed base and gravel plane01

Building science in every decision

We plan water, air, insulation and soil-gas details together. Each layer is coordinated with the structure and the way your home will be used.

Mechanical room with heat pumps and ventilation02

Testing with a clear purpose

Testing and documentation are agreed for each project. They may include concrete, airtightness, indoor-air and radon testing, with the applicable records handed to the owner.

Concrete pour in progress from above03

Real numbers early

Discuss the working budget early, make assumptions and allowances visible, and update the figures as design, site information and selections develop.

About MAE

Character in the home.
Care in the construction.

A home is shaped by its architecture, its materials and the life it holds. MAE connects those priorities with building science and careful construction, from the foundation to the finishing details.

What we stand for

Easier to measure.
Better to live with.

A custom home is a personal undertaking. Our role is to connect your priorities with the decisions that shape the finished home: a clear plan, open budget discussions, coordinated construction and documentation of the work behind the finishes.

How we work

Room for the vision.
Clarity for the decisions.
