Calling Park City Home
by Alex Clarkson
A plaque on the Elevated Builders office wall reads, “Show Up, Work Hard, Be Kind, and Take the High Road.” The high road is in fact what attracts people to Park City. Building a home in Park City is the best way to tap into the town’s rich local culture, and working with Elevated Builders means not only partnering with a world-class team, but also getting a first-rate introduction to the community.
Geordy Bishop founded Elevated Builders with the mission to build luxury mountain contemporary homes while tapping into management philosophies and a toolbox of resources he acquired during his years in commercial building and development. The Elevated Team immerses itself in each project, offering absolute transparency, hands-on project management, and a passion for the building process. Elevated focuses on projects in the heart of Park City, ensuring that the team members can easily access each jobsite daily. Rarely is a project more than minutes from the main office in downtown Park City.
“We’re here to support each other and ensure that our clients’ dreams come to fruition.”

The team’s decision to maintain a local and condensed geographic workload enables the company to offer care and attention to details that align with their management-intensive philosophy. Furthermore, their hyper-local presence positions them well to harvest and employ local talent, a strategy that helps them maintain a business that not only contributes to the local Park City community but strengthens it as well.
Strong Teams Build Exceptional Homes
From regionally harvested natural stone to classic reclaimed hardwoods, Elevated Builders brings the natural palette of the West to life. When first kicking off a project, the team at Elevated Builders invests an extraordinary amount of time up front, getting to know their clients on a personal level. Developing an understanding of clients’ goals, preferences, and even lifestyles helps the team members act as their clients’ true advocates on the job every day.
Clients are invited to all aspects of the building process. They can expect a high level of transparency and communication from Elevated Builders. “We’re here to support each other and ensure that our clients’ dreams come to fruition. We’ll ask tough questions and challenge the process as necessary. Our work is fueled by our desire to serve our clients’ best interests every step of the way,” explains Bishop.
Constructing a custom home is a sum of the decisions made throughout the building process. A custom home builder must be able to iterate, and the team promotes open dialogue put forth from all project stakeholders to ensure that they take the optimal course of action. Relationship-building and diligence are rooted in the daily workflow of each Elevated project, reinforced by their true passion for client satisfaction.
The boutique size of the company allows Bishop and his team to focus on a select number of projects and execute them with the utmost care and individualized attention. The team embraces new building technologies and management tools as they arrive to the market and continues to evolve. “In the luxury home building space, clients continue to challenge local building capabilities. Our ability to find solutions to deliver a finished product that meets these expectations raises the bar and drives us to come to work motivated each and every day,” explains Bishop.
During the pre-construction phase, the company engages with third-party stakeholders including architects, landscape architects, civil engineers, interior designers, specialty consultants, and subcontractors, ensuring alignment from the beginning. For buyout and material procurement, the company leverages its deep ties to local vendors and suppliers. Budgeting, scheduling, and constructability reviews round out the pre-construction process, preparing the team to mobilize to the jobsite and harmoniously begin the build.

Discipline and Detail
Financial accountability is a point of pride at Elevated Builders and another valuable facet of their professionalism. The company maintains a proven track record of diligently managing budgets and treating their clients’ money like it’s their own. Elevated Builders is a process-driven firm and clients can rely on diligent reporting – from budgets to invoicing to status updates.
Elevated is committed to delivering clients a home as efficiently and transparently as possible. The singular focus on process management in the custom residential sector allows the firm to offer an overall best-in-class experience for every client. The company recognizes frequent pain points for clients and proactively addresses them. Bishop leads by example, ensures the workload is sustainable, and cares for his employees. That investment in the company culture is in turn felt by clients who engage Elevated for their Park City home projects.
The relationship with Elevated does not end when they hand over the keys and a homeowner walks through the front door. Whether it is after three or thirty years down the road, the team will always be there to answer questions from the homeowner or property manager about how best to care for a home they have built. “Our willingness to be here forever means a lot to our customers, our employees, and our community,” explains Bishop.
“Not only will we build your house, but we’ll also introduce you to our community – like where to socialize and which nonprofits to support.”

Restraint is often the indication of luxury, and Elevated Builders offers a bespoke custom home building experience. The choice to work with Elevated signifies a desire to support local business and make a meaningful and sustainable contribution to Park City’s evolving landscape.
“Not only will we build your house, but we’ll also introduce you to our community – like where to socialize and which nonprofits to support,” explains Bishop. It’s this mentality and mission of making one’s home in our town that will continue to position Elevated Builders as the leading partner for custom mountain contemporary homes in Park City.
