Kenai Peninsula Project Planning & Intake

Start Your Project With S.Hines

A successful build begins with clear communication, honest expectations, and realistic planning. Complete our project intake worksheet below to prepare for a direct conversation with Shane and Stormie Hines.

1

Rough Talk vs. Serious Bid

A 20-minute phone call helps identify ballpark ranges, property readiness, and zoning feasibility. A formal bankable bid requires 20+ hours of subcontractor bids, supplier freight quotes, and completed architectural plans.

2

Land & Material Realities

In Southcentral Alaska, site conditions drive budgets. Soil bearing capacity, DEC septic setbacks, well depth, and winter freight all impact your project before framing nails ever hit the jobsite.

3

Selective Project Scale

We are not a high-volume production builder. Shane is hands-on on every jobsite. We anchor our building season around one major custom build with select remodels, shops, and additions built to craftsman standards.
