In this episode, we’re putting the spotlight on two of our construction managers—Jack Daniels and Myles Sabrosky—part of the larger team who make every DJK home possible. These on-site leaders are the vital link between blueprint and reality, ensuring each detail comes together with precision, quality, and care.
Join us as our construction managers share what it takes to bring a fully custom home to life, from the first day of site prep to the final walkthrough. You’ll hear how they navigate daily challenges, manage timelines, and work hand-in-hand with our design team, trade partners, and clients to keep every build on track and every vision intact.
We’ll also give you an inside look at DJK’s hands-on approach—why being present on the job site matters, how communication drives success, and the teamwork that turns each project into something truly one-of-a-kind. Whether you’re curious about the building process, the client experience, or what makes DJK different, this is your chance to learn from the pros who live it every day.
From plans to perfection—our construction managers are the heartbeat of every build.
