The firm
tuhaye's most experienced and trusted custom home builder
Vitruvius Built has worked extensively within Tuhaye, collaborating with owners, architects, designers, and the Architectural Review Committee through the design and construction of highly detailed custom homes.
That familiarity with the community, its review process, and the realities of mountain construction allows our team to anticipate issues early and keep architecture, constructability, cost planning, and execution aligned from the beginning.
Our experience in Tuhaye also gives us a clear understanding of how site conditions, community standards, design review, procurement, and sequencing can affect a project long before construction starts. For clients and design teams, that means fewer unknowns, stronger coordination, and a builder who understands the community from the inside.

BUILDING IN TUHAYE
BUILDING A CUSTOM HOME IN TUHAYE
Building in Tuhaye requires close coordination between architecture, site conditions, community standards, and the realities of mountain construction. Early decisions around grading, access, retaining, snow management, materials, landscape integration, and long-lead procurement can materially shape both design and execution.
Vitruvius Built’s familiarity with Tuhaye allows our team to identify these considerations early, coordinate closely with the architect and design team, and move through review and construction with greater clarity.

WHY TUHAYE
A PRIVATE MOUNTAIN COMMUNITY WITH A DISTINCT SENSE OF PLACE
Tuhaye is one of the most established private mountain communities in the Park City area, shaped by expansive views, a strong connection to the landscape, and the broader Talisker Club experience. Homes here are highly individual, but the best projects share a common discipline: architecture that responds to the site, materials that feel appropriate to the setting, and careful integration with the surrounding terrain.
For owners, building in Tuhaye is often as much about long-term family use as it is about location. The homes are designed for changing seasons, extended stays, and generations of use, which places a premium on thoughtful planning, durable execution, and a building team that understands the community well.

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 Tuhaye.
Firmitas
Firmness
Built for the mountain
Tuhaye 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 Tuhaye 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 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
Preconstruction
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 in Tuhaye, 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 TUHAYE: WHAT TO KNOW
Building in Tuhaye 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
Tuhaye 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 the Tuhaye review process
Tuhaye’s Architectural Review Committee plays an important role in maintaining the character and quality of the community. Vitruvius Built’s extensive familiarity with the review process allows us to coordinate closely with owners and design teams and anticipate requirements as the project develops.
-
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 affect both cost and schedule. Rigorous preconstruction creates visibility early and allows informed decisions before construction begins.
-
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!

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.
