About Us

We build the way we’d build for ourselves.

Build It Right Design is a Pagosa Springs general contractor operating as Bird Networks LLC. We take on a small number of custom homes each year so that every framing detail, every air-seal, and every finish gets the attention it deserves.

Passionate Builders

This is a craft, not a production line. We are on site, hands on the work, answering your questions ourselves rather than handing you off to a call center.

Energy Experts

Passive-house principles guide every decision — envelope, orientation, glazing, and mechanicals are designed together so the building works as one system.

Custom Designs

Detailed blueprints and site execution under one roof. Your home is drawn for your lot, your light, and the way you actually live — then built to match the drawings.

High-Performance Building

What is a passive home?

A passive home is engineered to hold its own temperature. Instead of burning energy to fight the weather, the building itself does the work — so the furnace barely runs, even in January at 7,000 feet.

01

Ultra-low energy use

Up to 90% savings on heating and cooling compared with a conventionally built home of the same size.

02

Super insulation

Thick, continuous insulation with thermal breaks that stop heat from leaking out through the framing itself.

03

Airtight construction

A tested, verified air barrier — no drafts, no dust pathways, no snow blowing through a hidden gap in the wall.

04

Continuous fresh air

Balanced mechanical ventilation with heat recovery delivers filtered outdoor air around the clock, without throwing away the warmth.

Why choose us

  • Lower bills. The savings show up on every utility statement for the life of the house.
  • Maximum comfort. Even temperatures room to room, no cold floors, no drafty corners.
  • Clean, healthy indoor air. Filtered ventilation keeps pollen, smoke, and stale air out of your living space.
  • Sustainable materials. Eco-friendly product selection that lowers the footprint of the build itself, not just the operation.
