Yamazanmai works as an independent consultant alongside you—and in absolute confidence if required—to provide advice and assistance.

Planning to Build?

There are simple things that can be done during the design and construction phases that will make maintaining your asset much easier, and cost-effective. If you are considering building, it is wise to consider things such as the prevailing winds in winter, the effects of dry winters and humid summers, how the snow will shed (or not), snow clearance and/or removal, road maintenance, exterior cladding, insulation, internal tiling and plumbing, local wildlife, bugs and pests, and so on.

We work with you to review building designs, materials, property aspect and countless details to ensure you have a property that will stand the test of time for many years of enjoyment.
