"In the twenty-five years that we have lived in Asheville we have had the privilege and pleasure of having Forward Construction build two custom homes for us and renovate an historic home in Grove Park. We could not have been happier with both the process and end result of all three projects. The attention to detail and quality of work is unsurpassed. Jim, Sue and the entire Forward Construction Team are a delight to work with. They are cheerful and approachable while adhering to the highest standards. You can trust Forward Construction to build a home that you will love!" Amie and Graham Paul "Initially, Jim Forward had misgivings about building a house for us. My husband is a lawyer and I'm an interior designer - a combination that could be difficult. Once he agreed, though, we sailed forward, smoothly all the way. It was a delight to work with Jim and his family. He accommodated all my desires to use old building materials, barn beams, antique doors and light fixtures, tiles and stone work. We gave up on old flooring, but Jim tried and decided it was risky because of quality. Jim provided us with a wonderful house, hand crafted to perfection. We were very grateful for the quality of his work." "We would be delighted to talk to anyone who is interested in using Jim as a builder." Kim and Bill Lowndes "Forward Construction is one of the most conscientious builders I've seen. I often use them as an example of one of very few builders that puts the attention to detail into their work that we wish every builder did. As a true family business, they are a pleasure to work with and have real pride in what they do." Matt Siegel, Green Building Director "It has been 10 years since you handed over the keys to our home near Town Mountain Road in Asheville. That is plenty of time to find construction mistakes...but there are none! If I were to do it again there is only one change I would make and that is to listen to your advice with respect to materials. It never ceases to amaze me at the number of compliments we continue to recieve from friends and neighbors regarding the fine craftsmanship that you brought into play in the construction. Thanks for being there when we needed you." Liz and Jerry Birdwell Endless Suppy Company has worked as a subcontraactor for Forward Construction, Inc. on numerous projects. From the moment you walk onto one of their jobs, you can recognize their attention to detail, the quality of their workmanship, and their regard for the customer's property. Jim and his crew pay close attention to details-both seen and unseen. These are the types of details a customer would seldom notice but Jim notices all the little details and wants to do things right. We have worked with Forward Construction, Inc. on new construciton, remodels, and commercial projects and have seen the same attention to detail on all of these projects. In the time that we have worked together, Jim has helped to improve the quality of our work by setting a very high standard. Unlike most contractors who simply focus on price, Jim focuses on quality and doesn't mind paying a little more to get the job done right. I highly recommend Forward Construction, Inc. to anyone who is considering building or remodeling and wants a builder that cares as much about the end result as the owner themselves.

In the summer of 2000 we bought our dream lot in a rural setting south of Asheville. Over the next four years we got ideas together and searched for the perfect builder. Upon focusing on Forward Construction, we toured several of his previously built homes and talked to their owners. The impression of impeccable quality was uniform as was the complete satisfaction of previous clients. A visit to a home under construction revealed an immaculate building site. Our general ideas for our home were refined by Forward Construction's design-build program. As construction proceeded we were 350 miles away and were able to visit the site only sporadically and at long intervals. Nonetheless construction proceeded on schedule and at the highest level of quality. We moved in on the exact day promised fifteens months from breaking ground. The house was perfect at that time and over the ensuing year any minor problems that arose were handled expeditiously by Jim and his crew. Two years after moving in we added an outdoor room, so naturally turned to Forward Construction. This past summer we added solar hot water and expanded our cisterns for collecting rainwater, once again retaining the services of Forward Construction. In short, we are completely satisfied with the integrity and quality provided by Forward Construction. If seeing is believing, please arrange to visit our home or one of their other quality houses.
