We adhere strictly to the International Building Code (IBC) with particular emphasis paid to the Florida Build Code (FBC), Residential Chapter with St. Lucia being in a high wind zone. We do not deviate from prescribed fastening or nailing schedules, and we certainly do not go by the old St. Lucia adage “that good gasa”.

How we get the job done right

Working Process

  • Plan, Plan, Then Plan Some More

    Mistakes are costly, and doubly compounded when working the lumber and its with that in mind we examine all the details and specifications of your designed plans. We review your PDF or CAD files taking note of all dimensions, elevations, framing materials to be used and the fastener or nailing schedule specified. In cases where we have questions or suggestion, they will be communicated to you for referral before proceeding.

  • Precision and Craftmanship

    Our lead carpenters bring over xx years of wood working experience to your project. Nothing during the framing process just eyeballed or left to chance, we work strictly with precise measurements, and established best work practices.

  • Speed and Technique

    Ridgeway Builders provides your project crew with all the tools necessary to perform their task. There is no sharing of critical tools on site, and each crew member is equipped with their own specialized tool bag. Why is this necessary, you'd be amazed to know how many days can be lost over a six (6) month project with crew members have to walk back and forth to borrow hammers, drills or even carry nails. To keep things moving along on the job site, we primarily use pneumatic nailing guns and battery-operated tools.

  • Built to Last

    Unfortunately, in St. Lucia onsite building inspections are rarely if ever carried out, and for that reason most builders are simply not aware or even worse ignore applicable building codes when building a lumber framed home. We at Ridgeway Builders adhere strictly to the International Building Codes and though not enforced in St. Lucia but still very relevant, the Florida Building Code, Residential Chapter.
