“Lifetime of Service” is more than just a motto for Structural Associates. It’s a reality that clients know well. Founded by Bruce Shugart and Shane Evans, Structural Associates has been building custom homes since 1982 and fulfilling the company’s mission to offer the highest quality custom homes, providing personal attention and unparalleled levels of service well beyond construction.

Due to the highly finished nature of custom home projects, Structural Associates is diligent in researching and testing new building products and techniques to ascertain if they will yield an added value to clients and if they will withstand the rigors of extreme mountain weather conditions. Structural Associates’ world-wide network of suppliers coupled with the company’s tenacity in finding the right material at the right price ensures each project’s excellence. This dedication to research allows Structural Associates to provide its homeowners the most unique and state of art construction materials and techniques available.

Structural Associates believes that the creative process of building a home should be a team effort and partners with the best resources available. Combining the components of architect, interior designer and client, Structural Associates assembles a team to oversee the development and achievement of each project’s goals. A Structural Associates principal manages each construction team, personally taking part to ensure the project’s success. The team is involved integrally through the project’s evolution - from start to finish and beyond - and team members are dedicated to assisting each client in getting to know their custom home as well as providing service for the home’s lifetime.

Technology continues to drive the construction industry and Structural Associates is dedicated to remaining on top of the curve. Utilizing the most up-to-date industry-specific software, Structural Associates has integrated its accounting, estimating and scheduling systems to increase the efficiency of all aspects of the construction process.
