R. Faucett Construction

What R. Faucett Construction does

R. Faucett Construction is a private, founder-owned custom residential and light commercial construction firm headquartered in Flemington, New Jersey, operating across Central New Jersey and Eastern Pennsylvania (Princeton, Bucks County, Titusville). Founded by Robert Faucett — who holds an Architecture degree from the University of New Mexico and 35+ years of construction experience — the company delivers custom homes, whole-house renovations and additions, historical restorations, commercial buildouts, and PHIUS-certified passive house / high-performance construction. The team of approximately 9-10 core professionals includes co-owner Don Pentz (joined 2018 as General Manager), seasoned construction managers, project managers, estimators, finish carpenters, and an in-house custom millwork shop capable of replicating period details and producing bespoke doors, windows, cabinetry, and architectural elements.

The company's underlying technical capabilities are anchored in three differentiated assets: (1) PHIUS Certified Passive House Builder (CPHB) credentials enabling energy-efficient construction with advanced air sealing, insulation, and high-performance envelope systems; (2) an in-house custom millwork shop supporting period replication and bespoke architectural elements unavailable through standard supply chains; and (3) JobTread cloud-based project management software providing clients a centralized portal for scheduling, daily progress logs, and Q&A tracking. Multiple project delivery methods (Design-Bid-Build, Design-Build, Pre-construction-Build) are offered to accommodate client and architect preferences.

The business operates on project-based, quote-driven revenue across five service lines (New Construction, Renovation & Remodeling, Commercial, High Performance Building, and Construction Consulting). Pricing is custom per project and not publicly disclosed; the company operates by appointment only with free initial consultations. Go-to-market relies primarily on word-of-mouth referrals, an architect partnership network (Ford3, BINYAN, Dowling Studios, Studio Hillier, Joseph Hobart Weiss), and a portfolio-driven website supplemented by Facebook and Instagram presence. Customer segments span individual homeowners (primary), architects and designers (primary collaborators), business owners and developers, and educational institutions.
