story    |    a study in contrast.

It’s been said that a picture is worth a thousand words. And we’re definitely trying for that here. The truth is: our founders, Bryce Gahagan and Mark Eddy, are polar opposites when it comes to personality and personal interests (even if their work-ethic, timeless style, and attention to detail is only inches apart).

In the same way that contrast is an effective principle of design (because our eyes appreciate dissimilarity), contrast in leadership accounts for better outcomes in business. 

We built Gahagan-Eddy with that in mind, which means that we can focus on what we’d rather be building – your home. (Plus we think longevity matters. How long will your builder be around for you?)

Then if you’re particular about the type of relationship you want with your builder, you know we have you covered.

If you prefer someone who’s liable to stick around for a bourbon neat as the day is wrapping up, will debate the merits of the two barely discernible shades of white you’re considering for your media room, or will definitely concur that you should move that mirror in your dressing room by 1”, Bryce is your guy. He’s known for being outgoing, humorous, and psychologically there for you while keeping all of the details in check.

Or, if you’re the type who just wants things done, values your free time, and prefers to be updated at predetermined check-points (especially if you’re not based in Kansas City), then Mark’s quiet leadership can help you maintain control of your work-life balance. Mark is a nuts-and-bolts type of guy who meticulously does what needs to be done behind-the-scenes, so you can confidently go about your day with zero concern. He’s easygoing, low-key, and conscientious of your needs.

Contrasting personalities. Identical work-ethic, timeless style, attention to detail, and (of course) exquisite outcome.
