FAQ
What’s the first step in planning my residential build or remodel in Missoula?
In the first phase, we identify the essential players for your project. We can help select an architect and interior designer, as well as any engineers or project-specific subcontractors. Or we can easily collaborate with your existing partners. We will meet as a group and ensure all parties are the right fit(s) for your project.
What can I expect from the design phase?
In the design phase, we will capture your intent for look and feel of the project. Architects and designers produce preliminary plans, and we provide preliminary estimates to insure the project can meet your budget goals.
When will I understand the budget and timeline?
The next phase is the full selection process. Here, we’ll bid out the project and produce the full schedule. This phase can take several months depending on the scale of your project.
What’s the build timeline?
After all the hard work of planning, the “easy” part begins — project kickoff. Projects vary in scope and timeline and we pride ourselves on clear communication and transparency regarding timelines.

Joe Jensen from Confluence Construction did an excellent job building our structurally insulated panel home. Since the house site was away from Missoula, he pretty much camped out at the site during the build. Because of this and his great insite, he was able to make suggestions during construction that made our home even more livable. He was very good about keeping us on budget when sending us out to select building materials. All I had to do was ask what the budget was and then only asked to see materials within that price range. We consider him to be more than our builder, he is now our friend, too.

Joe and the Confluence team did a fabulous exterior remodel on our 1960's ranch style house. Way beyond our expectations. Still enjoying it today, six years later.

We recently completed a major renovation of a house in the U district in Missoula. We picked Confluence Construction because they gave us a solid quote and seemed honest and trustworthy. We are exceptionally pleased with the end result. Joe Jensen and Mickey Niland were both terrific. They were very responsive and easy to work with and they had very good suggestions for improving the project. They stayed within the overall budget and provided a very useful tracking sheet to help us determine how much more we owed and what we could afford for "add-ons". The project ran over the original timeline by a few months, but that was expected given all of the supply chain impacts from COVID and labor shortages in Missoula. Also, we added more scope to the project which caused some delays in completion. The quality of the work was excellent and when we wanted something changed they were very flexible and got right on it. We would not hesitate to hire them again!
