Our Process:
Every project follows the same five-stage process—intentional, detailed, and built around eliminating surprises.
First, we establish the scope and budget early, creating clarity around the investment before the design process is complete.
Next, we enter preconstruction, working closely with the architect and designer to resolve the details, selections, and constructability before construction begins.
Then, we build with a plan you can trust. By the time construction begins, you understand the scope, the schedule, and the investment—and we have a clear path forward.
No shortcuts. No guessing. Just a disciplined process designed to deliver the home exactly as intended.

From start to finish
Our Process
Our five-step process turns complexity into a predictable sequence.
1
Discovery & Alignment
We start by understanding how you live, what the design must achieve, and what constraints matter most. We align budget parameters, timeline expectations, and decision-making so the project has a clear foundation.
THE RESULT:
- Fewer miscommunications
- Faster decisions
- A smoother path forward.
2
Pre-Construction Excellence
Preconstruction is where risk is reduced and confidence is built. We coordinate with your architect and consultants to refine documents, confirm feasibility, and develop accurate pricing. We also plan permitting, site conditions, long-lead items, and finish selections.
THE RESULT:
- A clear project roadmap
- Design intent protected
- Stable investment and timeline before construction begins.
3
Contract & Mobilization
Once scope, investment, and timeline are aligned, we formalize the agreement and prepare to build. This includes securing trade partners, ordering key materials, setting jobsite logistics, and confirming milestones.
THE RESULT:
- Clarity on expectations, sequencing, and responsibilities before the first day on site
4
Disciplined Construction
We execute with consistent leadership, disciplined scheduling, and rigorous quality control. Trades are coordinated proactively, inspections are managed, and decisions are tracked so the build stays aligned with the drawings and specifications.
THE RESULT:
- Steady progress
- Fewer delays
- Craftsmanship that matches the design.
5
Completion & Ownership Transition
Closeout is managed with the same rigor as the build. We resolve punch items, verify system performance, and deliver keys alongside warranties, manuals, and maintenance guidance.
THE RESULT:
- A clean handoff
- Clear documentation
- Support that continues after move-in.

Don’t just take our word for it
Hear from some of the amazing people that we've worked with over the years.
“Faust is exceptional. They are present on the job site and was always available to discuss our project. He has a keen eye for detail and design, building us a beautiful mid-century modern pool cabana and backyard retreat. Hire Faust Construction for your project–it was a pleasure to work with Brian and his team.”

“Faust Construction gave my family the most professional remodeling job anyone could ask for. Workers completed jobs on time, within budget and the work quality was second to none. Faust performed a variety of jobs at my home, including painting, staining cabinets, installing wood flooring, lighting, and a new bathroom with tile, shower, bathtub, cabinets, and quartz vanity. I would highly recommend Faust Construction to anyone.”

“Brian and his team were the consummate professionals on a master level remodel project at my home. Their craftmanship was top notch, their work ethic and attention to detail was impressive, and their creativity saved me thousands of dollars when they discovered - but then solved for - issues that were related to a previous remodel of the same space from decades earlier. I cannot recommend Faust Construction highly enough!”
Clayton F.
Client, 2022
“We have worked with Faust construction for 10 plus years. He is a great asset to the Kansas City building community. Brian will stop at nothing to complete your project on time and with the highest quality materials and craftsmanship. I would recommend Faust construction to anyone.”

“Over the years, I have built one house from scratch and substantially renovated three others. As a result, I have dealt with a number of general contractors and subcontractors. Quite simply, Faust Construction provided the best service I've ever had. Not only was Brian Faust responsive and helpful but every one of his subcontractors behaved and performed in similar fashion. Brian took the time to understand what we expected and made sure to meet our expectations. I recommend him without reservation.”
E.J. Holland Jr.
Client, 2018
“Brian Faust and his team did a stellar job on a recently completed renovation. He gave personal attention, had great craftsmanship and worked as a team member to solve problems when they popped up (as often do in renovations!). He was able to do this on time, without change orders and while the owners were living in the house... not an easy task. As an architect I couldn't ask for more. If you are considering using Faust Construction on your project, I wouldn't hesitate at all to hire him.”
KEM Studio
Project Partner, Architect Firm
“Brian and his crew have met all my expectations on several projects. Modern design leaves nowhere to hide mistakes or inattention to detail. Poolehaus' projects attempt to edit dozens of ideas and possibilities down to a few critical design moves and materials, and the craftsmen have to understand exactly where those points are, and must plan each step of the construction process to converge those points with great accuracy. I can trust Brian Faust to shepherd that process without compromise.”

Project Partner, Architect
“Brian has completed 6 projects for me over the years. Each one has been done to the highest level of quality and professionalism. He has an incredible attention to detail and always keeps me updated and feeling a part of the process. There have never been any surprise charges and I feel that the quality and timeliness Faust Construction delivers is awesome. We are in the process of getting ready to do another project with Brian and would give him the highest recommendation possible!”

“I've heard of nightmare stories about dealing with contractors, and being thousands and thousands of dollars over budget... NOT the case with Faust Construction. My wife and I are very pleased with working with Brian. Brian finished our home ahead of schedule, and on budget. Most importantly everything was done right!! Faust Construction = Professional Genius.”
Rue B.
Client, 2012
“To have obtained the level of quality and consistency throughout construction process is a testament to Brian's leadership and ability to field the right team. There was strong communication between the architects, engineers, sub-contractors and vendors for our new construction project. We felt well informed and that they had our best interests at heart. The quality of work was exceptional, it was on budget, and on time. Brian's company, Faust Construction, has earned our highest esteem.”
