R. Faucett Construction began as one person's vision and has since grown into a team of skilled professionals—experienced project managers, custom cabinet makers, finish carpenters, who each bring their own expertise to every project.
Our founder Robert Faucett combines 35+ years of construction experience with a degree in Architecture from the University of New Mexico, giving us a unique perspective on both the design and building process. This background allows us to work seamlessly with clients and architects from initial concept through final completion.
We believe in staying current. Our team regularly attends industry conferences to ensure we're using the latest materials, techniques, and best practices on every project.
Hands-on leadership and specialized craftsmanship
Every project gets dedicated attention from both a Project Manager and on-site Construction Supervisor who stay with your job from start to finish. This direct oversight means we can maintain our quality standards while coordinating our RFC team, subcontractors, and vendors seamlessly.
Our custom millwork shop is especially valuable for historic renovations and unique design challenges. We can replicate period details, match existing woodwork, or create entirely custom pieces—doors, windows, kitchen cabinets, built-ins, and architectural elements that simply aren't available off the shelf. This capability means your vision isn't limited by what's in a catalog.
R. Faucett brings experience across multiple project delivery methods, allowing us to meet owners where they are, and structure each project for success.
The owner's architect completes the full design, the project goes to competitive bid, and R. Faucett builds. A traditional approach offering price transparency and a fully defined scope before construction begins.
R. Faucett serves as the owner's single point of contact for both design and construction—simplifying communication, reducing risk, and delivering projects from concept to completion under one roof.
R. Faucett joins the team early, collaborating with the Owner and the Owner's Architect to build a realistic budget during design. When the team is aligned, we transition seamlessly into construction as both advisor and builder.

We’ve just completed our second renovation project with the RFC team, and we couldn’t be more pleased with the outcome. The work is impeccable with extreme attention to the big picture as well as the finest details from start to finish. We will never have any other contractor work on our house and would recommend RFC to anyone.

We had an incredible experience with Rob and his team. He was an engaged and committed partner in helping us work through our renovations, which were fairly considerable. The project stayed within budget and met an aggressive 6 month timeline. The crew was first class and it was even hard to say goodbye to them at the end of the project. My wife and I fully vouch for the integrity of their work.
Morgan B
Rob and his team did an outstanding job on our project from start to finish. They were very reliable and responsive to any questions we had along the way. We have high standards and they exceeded our expectations in creating a beautiful home and providing a great experience along the way. We would not use anyone else other than Rob and his team for any future projects. They are truly the best!

Rob was terrific to work with throughout the process of design completion and house construction in East Amwell. The house had a number of elements that required precision engineering and construction and all issues were professionally and personally managed by Rob. I would certainly utilize his services again, and would gladly recommend him to anyone contemplating high quality construction.
