The Mountain Building Resource Hub

Building in the Blue Ridge Mountains requires a specific set of skills and knowledge that you will not find in a standard construction manual. At Ruckle Construction Reality Inc, we believe an educated homeowner is a confident homeowner. This hub is designed to help you navigate the complexities of Western North Carolina construction with ease.

Getting through the misinformation

The biggest threats to a successful build are Contractor Uncertainty and hidden site challenges. Without the right information, you might face Budget Creep or a home that does not properly account for mountain terrain.

We are here to provide the "straight-talk" you need to make informed decisions for your family legacy.
