Interior finishes for the Mountain West's finest homes.

Every finish surface inside the house, from cabinetry, stone and tile to stairs, glass and metal. The builder builds the shell. We run the interior.

Arris Interior Works

We design, coordinate and install the finished interior of estate homes across Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, Utah and Colorado. The builder hands us one package instead of a separate subcontract for every trade, and we manage the sequence from first measure to warranty walk.

Drawn before it is built

Every room modeled in CAD and Revit.

We design inside the architect's Revit model and send it back, so clashes with structure, mechanicals and lighting show up on screen instead of on site. Our renderings pull in the designer's furniture, tile and flooring and the actual view out the windows. The owner approves the room before it is built.

Built for the whole team.

For builders

Your project managers are already stretched thin. We take flooring, tile, countertops, stairs, glass, doors, trim, cabinetry and hardware off their list, along with the calls asking whether the site is ready.

For architects

We work inside your Revit model and hand it back through Autodesk Forma or as an IFC file. Shop drawings are tied to the architecture, with every elevation, section and transition detailed for your review.

For designers

We pull your furniture, tile and flooring into our renderings so the owner approves the whole room. The finished house should match the intent you started with.

For the builder's margin

What one finish contract is worth to a builder

A builder's margin on the finish phase is decided by hours nobody bills for: chasing trades, re-measuring, re-cutting a scribe, waiting on a template. On an estate interior that work is spread across a dozen or more subcontracts, and every one of them lands on your project manager, your superintendent and your accounts payable desk. We modeled it trade by trade.

711 hrs

of builder staff time saved per project, about two-thirds of the time spent managing the finish package.

2 positions

of project manager, superintendent and back-office capacity freed at six estate projects a year.

$183,000

in modeled savings per project on a $5 million finish package: staff time, rework avoided between trades and three fewer weeks of general conditions.

Carry more work with the same team

A project manager who is not running thirteen finish trades can take on the next house. Growth stops depending on the next hire.

Keep the fee you bid

On a fixed fee, rework between trades and extra weeks of site costs come straight out of the builder's margin. We own the interfaces where that rework starts.

Give the owner one answer

When a reveal is off or a drawer won't close, there is one firm to call. Your superintendent stays on the critical path instead of refereeing trades.

Modeled on federal wage data and published construction research. Request the full study and the Excel model and run it with your own numbers.

One team for the whole interior.

Tile goes in before cabinets. Countertops go in before the cabinets come back. Shower glass gets measured off the finished tile and stone. On most estate homes each of those is a separate subcontract, and the builder's project manager owns every handoff. We take the whole finish package as one contract and run the sequence, drawing on a trusted network of makers.

01

Project review

We sit down with the builder, architect and designer before anything is drawn. When the design and the budget don't line up, we work out how to get the look within the number now, before it turns into a change order at production.

02

Design in Revit

We design inside the architect's Revit model, or build one if there isn't one. We don't charge for revisions. Our design operations team checks every set before it goes out, so the first version you see has already been corrected once.

03

Measure at framing

We measure at rough framing, before drywall, and put cabinet plans and section views on site before rough-in. The electrician knows where the outlets land and the plumber knows the P-trap heights. We come back for a spot check before anything goes into production.

04

Sourcing and production

Each element goes to the right maker in our network and is finished in the shop, where conditions can be controlled. If the design calls for 144-inch European veneer, we plan for it early and bring it in rather than settling for what the local distributor stocks.

05

Install and closeout

Cabinetry goes in after drywall finishing, so dust stays out of the slides. We recently installed a 6,000-square-foot house in four days. We protect finished surfaces and walk each room with your superintendent before it gets covered.

Questions builders ask

Working with Arris

What does Arris Interior Works do?

We design, coordinate and install the interior finish package for estate homes under one contract with the general contractor. That covers cabinetry, architectural paneling, beams and ceilings, flooring, tile, countertops, doors, trim, hardware, stairs, fireplace surrounds, interior glass and mirrors, architectural metal, built-ins and upholstery, wine rooms and specialty wall finishes.

Where do you work?

Estate homes in Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, Utah and Colorado, including Big Sky, Whitefish, Sun Valley, Jackson Hole and Park City.

When should a builder bring Arris in?

During design development, before the finish package goes out to bid. We measure at rough framing and put cabinet plans and section views on site before rough-in, so outlets, blocking and plumbing land where the finishes need them.

How does one finish contract save the builder money?

Our builder time study compares thirteen separate finish subcontracts with one Arris contract. It models about 711 hours of builder staff time saved per project and about $183,000 in savings on a $5 million finish package, from staff time, rework avoided between trades and three fewer weeks of general conditions.

Do you work in Revit?

Yes. We design inside the architect's Revit model, or build one if there isn't one, and share it back through Autodesk Forma or as an IFC file. Owners approve photorealistic renderings of each room before production.

How do your proposals compare with other bids?

Every finish basis is written out: species and cut, finished interiors, drawer organizer allowances, renderings and site protection. A builder leveling three bids can see exactly what is included and why a number moves.

Bring us in early.

We can tighten a schedule, but we can't make up lost time. The earlier we see the drawings, the fewer surprises at production. Send us the set and we'll find a time to meet your team.
