The firm
A DISCIPLINED APPROACH TO BUILDING AT PROMONTORY
Vitruvius Built approaches custom home construction at Promontory with the same rigor we bring to complex mountain homes across Park City and the Wasatch Back.
Vitruvius Built also maintains a strong working relationship with Promontory’s Architectural Review Committee and a clear understanding of the review process, community standards, and the coordination required to move an ambitious custom residence from design through construction.​
​
Early involvement allows our team to work closely with owners, architects, designers, and consultants to evaluate constructability, site conditions, cost planning, procurement, and sequencing while the design is still taking shape.
​
That approach is particularly important for estate-scale homesites and highly customized residences, including those within Pinnacle at Promontory. By aligning design intent, community requirements, construction strategy, and financial planning early, we create a clearer path from concept through completion.
Our goal is straightforward: protect the architecture, reduce avoidable uncertainty, and execute the home with precision from the beginning.

BUILDING IN PROMONTORY
BUILDING A CUSTOM HOME IN PROMONTORY
Building at Promontory requires close coordination between architecture, site conditions, community standards, and the realities of mountain construction. Early decisions around grading, access, retaining, snow management, drainage, materials, landscape integration, and long-lead procurement can materially shape both design and execution.
​
For estate-scale homesites, including those within Pinnacle at Promontory, early builder involvement becomes even more important. Vitruvius Built works closely with owners and design teams to identify these considerations early, coordinate through review, and move from design into construction with greater clarity.

PINNACLE AT PROMONTORY
ESTATE-SCALE HOMES IN PROMONTORY’S MOST EXCLUSIVE ENCLAVE
Pinnacle at Promontory offers some of the community’s most significant opportunities for highly customized residential architecture within the community, with large estate homesites, expansive views, privacy, and the scale to support highly individualized architecture.
​
For projects at this level, early builder involvement is especially important. Site planning, grading, access, structural strategy, glazing, long-lead procurement, mechanical systems, landscape integration, and cost planning all benefit from being evaluated while the architecture is still developing.
Vitruvius Built works closely with owners, architects, and design teams to align those decisions early, protect the design intent, and establish a clear path from concept through construction.
ESTATE-SCALE HOMESITES
Large, highly individualized residences shaped around site, privacy, and long views.
ARCHITECTURE-LED CONSTRUCTION
Early coordination to preserve design intent while resolving constructability.

The Vitruvian standard
Firmness. Utility. Beauty.
More than two thousand years ago, Vitruvius defined enduring architecture through three principles: firmness, utility, and beauty. They remain the standard behind every Vitruvius Built home in Promontory.
Firmitas
Firmness
Built for the mountain
Promontory homes demand a disciplined response to elevation, snow, wind, drainage, access, and the long-term realities of mountain construction. We build with the structure, envelope, detailing, and durability required for homes intended to endure.
Utilitas
Utility
Built around how you live
A Promontory home is both retreat and operating system. We plan for how families arrive, gather, ski, golf, entertain, store equipment, host guests, and return across seasons, so the home performs as naturally as it feels.
Venustas
Beauty
Architecture that belongs to the site
We protect the architect’s vision through constructability, cost planning, coordination, and field execution, so the design remains intact and the finished home feels inseparable from its setting.
The difference
An Intelligent Build Experience™
Founder and CEO Charles Ochello spent his first career as an emergency physician, leading teams in life-critical environments. That training shaped the way Vitruvius Built approaches construction: deep listening, pattern recognition, disciplined communication, and calm decision-making under pressure.
​
This lens shows up in the way we run a project: proactive communication, weekly owner-architect-builder meetings, real-time cost planning, and a preconstruction process designed to resolve complexity before construction begins.
​
It is a calm, disciplined approach to building highly customized mountain homes where the architecture, site conditions, client expectations, and financial plan all demand precision.
We build the home, and the experience of getting there.
Charles Ochello · Founder & CEO
How we work
Three phases, one continuous standard
I
6–16 months
Where most risk is reduced before construction begins. Intent discovery, architect and designer alignment, site and soils strategy, design-review navigation, early trade input, and disciplined cost planning are brought together before construction documents are finalized. For owners evaluating a homesite or assembling a design team at Promontory, our preconstruction process helps align site evaluation, cost planning, constructability, design review, and schedule before construction begins.
II
Construction
14–30 months
Build science executes the vision. On-site leadership, weekly meetings, photo documentation, transparent cost tracking, stringent quality control, weather-adaptation protocols, and design-review compliance guide the work from mobilization through completion. Our concurrent projects are deliberately limited to six to seven homes at a time so attention never thins.
III
Delivery & Legacy
Handover and beyond
Final quality control, systems training, full documentation, warranty support, and long-term maintenance advisory. We hand over not just a completed residence, but a generational asset with the records, relationships, and stewardship needed to support it over time.
Field notes
BUILDING A CUSTOM HOME IN PROMONTORY: WHAT TO KNOW
Building in Promontory requires a clear understanding of the site, community standards, architectural review, mountain climate, and the sequencing decisions that shape cost and schedule long before construction begins.
SITE & TOPOGRAPHY
The site shapes the home
Promontory homesites vary significantly in slope, exposure, views, access, and retaining requirements. Early site evaluation helps the architect and builder understand how grading, foundations, drainage, snow storage, and staging will influence the design.
-
Stepped foundations, helical piers and caissons
-
Retaining walls, cantilevers and engineered drainage
-
Downhill lots: better views and flow, more complex engineering
ARCHITECTURAL REVIEW
Navigating Promontory’s Architectural Review Process
Promontory’s Architectural Review Committee plays an important role in maintaining the character and quality of the community. Vitruvius Built’s familiarity with the review process allows us to coordinate closely with owners and design teams, anticipate requirements early, and help move the project from design into construction with greater clarity.
-
Building, grading, utility, and access approvals
-
Fire marshal and residential sprinkler requirements
-
ARC submittals, design-review coordination, and community sign-offs
CLIMATE & BUILD SCIENCE
Designed for mountain conditions
Snow loads, freeze-thaw cycles, solar exposure, wind, waterproofing, envelope performance, and mechanical systems all require careful coordination. These decisions are most effective when resolved early rather than corrected in the field.
-
Engineering for mountain snow loads
-
Triple-pane windows, ERV/HRV ventilation, high R-value envelopes
-
Ice-dam mitigation, heat cable and snowmelt systems
​
COST & SCHEDULE PLANNING
Resolve complexity before construction
Site conditions, long-lead materials, seasonal access, community requirements, and design complexity can materially influence both cost and schedule. Early cost planning, trade input, procurement strategy, and schedule development allow those variables to be addressed while the design is still flexible.
-
Early cost planning aligned with architecture, site conditions, and scope
-
Long-lead procurement and seasonal sequencing identified before construction
-
Preconstruction used to reduce financial and schedule uncertainty
-
Dedicated project leadership with clear accountability
In their words
TRUSTED BY CLIENTS AND PROJECT TEAMS
My husband and I have loved working with Vitruvius Built to build our home!
Their team are exceptional communicators and they are always transparent with the details. Vitruvius attention to budgets and schedules are beyond fantastic with what we have ever experienced with a build out of other homes.
We would highly recommend Vitruvius Built to anyone looking to build a exceptional custom/detailed home in the Park City area.

I have worked side by side with Vitruvius Built for quite some time and they never cease to amaze me!
Gorgeous homes showcasing style and creativity in their design and an unbeatable team working with clients every step of the way!
They are progressive with their approach, I love how they embrace technology and always have the environment in mind. I have referred Vitruvius to some of my clients and they've absolutely gone out of their way to take care of them.

Vitruvius Built is one of the most organized and professional builders we work with in the Park City luxury residential market.
Their team plans early, communicates clearly, and understands how important procurement, sequencing, and detail coordination are on a custom home.
What stands out most is the respect Vitruvius Built has for the entire project team. They treat vendors and trade partners as important contributors to the finished home, not just as line items. That combination of precision, professionalism, and collaboration is rare.
