PRIVATE MOUNTAIN LIVING IN MORGAN, UTAH
Wasatch Peaks Ranch Custom Home Builder
Precision-driven construction for architecturally significant custom homes at Wasatch Peaks Ranch.
Vitruvius Built partners with clients, architects, designers, and owner’s representatives to deliver disciplined preconstruction, meticulous craftsmanship, and exacting execution in a demanding mountain environment.
The firm
A WASATCH PEAKS RANCH CUSTOM HOME BUILDER DEFINED BY PRECISION.
Vitruvius Built is a luxury residential construction firm based in Park City, Utah, specializing in architecturally significant custom homes across Wasatch Peaks Ranch and the Wasatch Back.
We work alongside the architects, interior designers, consultants, owner’s representatives, family offices, and real estate professionals our clients choose. By integrating early, we help protect design intent, constructability, schedule, and the financial plan before construction begins.
Vitruvius Built takes on a limited number of projects so senior leadership and field teams remain closely involved at every stage. This supports faster decisions, stronger coordination, and a consistent standard of execution from preconstruction through completion.
The result is a disciplined, highly personal construction experience built around precision, transparency, and long-term stewardship.

CUSTOM MOUNTAIN HOMES
THE WASATCH PEAKS RANCH COMMUNITY
One of North America's Most Exclusive Private Mountain Communities
Wasatch Peaks Ranch is a private mountain community in Morgan County where members can enjoy skiing, golf, and year-round outdoor recreation. Its scale, terrain, and setting create a distinctive environment for architecturally significant custom homes.
PRIVATE SKIING
A member-focused alpine experience shaped by expansive terrain, direct mountain access, and the ability to move between home and recreation with ease.
MOUNTAIN GOLF
Golf at Wasatch Peaks Ranch is part of a broader year-round mountain lifestyle, bringing together recreation, landscape, and a highly considered private community experience.
YEAR-ROUND LIVING
Beyond skiing and golf, the community is built around four-season outdoor access, privacy, and a close connection to the surrounding Wasatch landscape.

ARCHITECTURALLY SIGNIFICANT HOMES ACROSS PARK CITY, DEER VALLEY & THE WASATCH BACK
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 home we build.
Firmitas
Firmness
Build science for mountain conditions
Homes at Wasatch Peaks Ranch must respond to snow, wind, solar exposure, freeze-thaw cycles, drainage, complex structural systems, and long-term exterior performance. We coordinate these conditions early so foundations, envelopes, roofing, glazing, and mechanical systems are resolved with precision.
Utilitas
Utility
Built around how your family lives
A Wasatch Peaks Ranch home may support ski days, golf, wellness, entertaining, remote work, extended family, and long periods of year-round use. We help organize the home around that rhythm, from ski rooms and gear storage to guest suites, wellness spaces, outdoor living, and intuitive daily circulation.
Venustas
Beauty
Architecture that belongs to the land
We protect the architect’s vision through constructability, cost planning, technical coordination, and disciplined field execution. The goal is a home that feels composed, enduring, and inseparable from its mountain 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.
In private mountain communities, that discipline matters. Complex site conditions, mountain access, long-lead materials, and exacting expectations for privacy and service all need to be considered early. The result is a calmer, more precise building experience where the architecture, site, family, and financial plan are carefully coordinated.
We build the home, and the experience of getting there.

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, mountain-access considerations, design-review navigation, early trade input, and disciplined cost planning are brought together before construction documents are finalized.
For owners considering a homesite or assembling a design team at Wasatch Peaks Ranch, our preconstruction process helps align lot evaluation, constructability, schedule, and the financial plan before construction begins.
II
Construction
22-36 months
On-site leadership, weekly owner-architect-builder meetings, transparent cost tracking, photo documentation, stringent quality control, winter planning, access coordination, and design-review compliance guide the work from mobilization through completion.
A focused project portfolio allows senior leadership and field teams to remain closely involved, supporting faster decisions, stronger coordination, and a consistent standard of execution.
III
Delivery & Legacy
Handover and beyond
Completion is managed with the same discipline as construction. Commissioning, closeout documentation, owner orientation, seasonal reviews, warranty coordination, and long-term service planning are organized to support the home well beyond move-in.
Field notes
BUILDING A CUSTOM HOME AT WASATCH PEAKS RANCH: WHAT TO KNOW
A concise guide to the conditions that can shape custom homes at Wasatch Peaks Ranch, from site access and mountain performance to design coordination, schedule, and cost planning.
SITE CONDITIONS & ACCESS
The homesite shapes the build
Mountain homesites can involve slope, snow, drainage, excavation, retaining, utility coordination, and seasonal access considerations. These conditions should be studied early because they influence architecture, structural systems, logistics, schedule, and the financial plan.
Early site analysis helps the full team understand the opportunities and constraints before the design advances too far.
-
Slope, soils, drainage, and retaining requirements
-
Driveway access, staging, deliveries, and winter logistics
-
View orientation, privacy, solar exposure, and outdoor living
-
Utility coordination and community infrastructure
DESIGN REVIEW & COORDINATION
Private-club standards require disciplined planning
Projects at Wasatch Peaks Ranch require close coordination across community design review, architectural standards, consultants, permitting, utilities, access, and site logistics. These tracks need to move together so architecture, engineering, schedule, and the financial plan remain aligned.
Early builder involvement helps reduce redesign and late value engineering by testing constructability, procurement, and cost while the design is still evolving.
-
Community design review and architectural guidelines
-
Architect, interior designer, landscape architect, and engineer coordination
-
Early trade input and long-lead procurement planning
-
Permitting, utility, access, grading, and site-disturbance requirements
MOUNTAIN PERFORMANCE
Build science must support the architecture
Homes in this environment must respond to snow, wind, solar intensity, freeze-thaw cycles, and significant seasonal temperature changes. These conditions influence the roof, envelope, glazing, waterproofing, ventilation, drainage, and mechanical systems.
The strongest homes resolve these systems early so technical performance supports the architecture rather than competing with it.
-
Snow-load engineering and roof detailing
-
High-performance glazing and building envelopes
-
Drainage, snowmelt, ice mitigation, and waterproofing
-
Mechanical zoning, ventilation, and indoor air quality
Cost & timeline
What a true Wasatch Peaks Ranch custom home requires
Every residence is unique. Cost and schedule depend on architecture, site conditions, structure, glazing, interiors, specialty systems, procurement, and the depth of preconstruction completed before work begins.
A credible cost plan and schedule are more useful than a single headline number.
-
Approximately $1,000 to $2,500+ per finished square foot
-
Approximately 32 to 48 months from early design and site evaluation through move-in
-
Disciplined preconstruction to align scope, schedule, procurement, and cost planning
-
Focused senior leadership and field-team involvement throughout the project
In their words
What clients & collaborators say
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 the project financials and schedule 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.

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.
Cole K.
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.
