Cascade Built

Cascade Built was founded by Sloan Ritchie to build quality, sustainable homes and buildings in Seattle. The company builds new custom homes, multi-family buildings and backyard cottages that emphasize its vision for contemporary urban design using sustainable building practices and a smaller environmental footprint. Cascade Built also offers general contracting services for commercial projects and substantial remodels and additions.

We approach every project by first seeking to understand the client’s values, goals, timeline and budget. We use a collaborative working style with clients and like to engage in the project as early in the design as possible. Our approach is to focus on planning, well before construction starts so the project runs smoothly, on schedule and within budget.

We are experts in Green Building methods, strategies and techniques, and implement them on every project we build. We overlay low-cost and no-cost green building strategies automatically, and then incrementally incorporate additional sustainable features per the project goals and client values. We built Seattle’s first LEED certified townhomes, and have built LEED Platinum homes as well as Built Green and Energy Star homes.

Each and every Cascade Built project emphasizes durable craftsmanship and product selection, livability through thoughtful modern design, non-toxic finishes, and comfort enhancing features, adherence to sustainable standards and affordability achieved through significant reduction in energy and maintenance costs.

We build the homes of the future, right now.
