Selected Projects 

• Lake Washington Residence – Led crews through the extensive renovation of this historic residence, designed by the noted Seattle architect, Arthur Loveless.

• Tobias Residence – Foreman for this residential construction project where extensive high-end finishes and inventive solutions to challenging issues set it apart from most. The fast-track job features numerous modern designs requiring extreme attention to detail.

• Tsunami Residence – Charter's scheduling and coordination skills were put to the test during construction of this 9,500 SF lakefront home and garage. The home features a soaring “butterfly” roof supported by Douglas fir timber framing.

• Salt Water Bluff – Located on a steep, environmentally sensitive slope overlooking Puget Sound, the Saltwater Bluff residence required considerable shoring before construction could begin. Construction methods and products were equally complex.
