Where custom home builds can rip dreams apart into micro decisions, stress and chaos, we set out to not only build an impeccable house but to breathe life and joy into your experience of building.
We set out to ensure the entire process of your build keeps the spirit of “why” alive until it’s manifested into something great.
At iLevel Construction, one of our main goals is for you to walk into your home where all the waiting, planning, and updates fade away, and your space fulfills the dream you had from corner to corner. To make that happen, we’ve developed pre-construction, integrating intentional tools to ensure even the most ambitious project runs smoothly.

Client portal for scheduling, budgeting, daily logs, change orders, and draw requests.

Immersive 3D scans documenting framing, plumbing, electrical, and mechanical systems before walls close. Accessible by link.

The residential design software behind every iLevel plan set and 3D rendering.

Line-item job costing where every actual cost is tagged, coded, and documented before billing.

Plan markup and revision tracking throughout the project lifecycle.

Portable satellite internet on every job site, ensuring connectivity at remote Black Hills and Wyoming locations.
Take a walk through one of our completed projects to get a preview of what walking into your new home will feel like.
Your ideas start to take shape. We’ll identify the priority details, refine the direction of the project, and ensure it reflects the way you plan to live in the space.
Materials are endless. Combined with your architect and interior designer, we work to build out a material list we can rely on and set proactive deadlines for material selection gaps.
We ensure all of this comes together into clearly communicated documents that can be shared with subcontractors and specialists.
We intentionally keep our workload controlled so every client receives the attention they deserve. Typically, we have 4–7 homes in active construction at one time, depending on the phase of each project. Some homes may be just starting excavation, while others are in the framing or finishing stages.
This balance allows us to maintain quality, communication, and proper oversight on every project.
Our project manager is involved multiple times per week, and sometimes daily, depending on the phase of construction.
Certain stages, such as foundations, framing, mechanical rough-ins, and finishing work, require closer supervision. We stay closely connected with our subcontractors throughout the process to make sure everything stays on schedule and is built correctly.
You’re welcome to visit the jobsite anytime with coordination.
We simply ask that you schedule the visits with us so we can ensure safety and avoid interrupting subcontractors while they’re actively working. Many clients like to visit during key milestones, such as framing completion, mechanical rough-ins, drywall, and finishing.
iLevel carries Builder’s Risk insurance on every project, which helps protect the structure during the course of construction. Your home is scheduled under our policy based on the project’s contract value, and that coverage stays in place until the project is completed and your homeowner’s insurance takes over.
Builder’s Risk typically helps protect against covered losses such as:
• Fire
• Storm damage
• Theft
• Vandalism
• Jobsite damage during construction
Many lenders require the homeowner to carry a Builder’s Risk policy as well.
In our experience, this creates dual coverage, which is a good thing. If something unforeseen were to happen during construction, having two policies in place provides additional protection for the project.
Communication is a big part of the iLevel experience.
We keep homeowners informed through several methods, including:
• Daily logs through our project management software, typically at least 1–2 per week, often more
• Jobsite photos
• Phone calls and Zoom meetings
• 3D scans of the home during construction, especially helpful for out-of-state clients
The goal is to keep you connected to the project, even when you’re not physically on site.
Communication happens consistently throughout the build, with updates happening weekly or as needed, depending on the stage of construction.
Some weeks involve more discussion when selections or decisions are required, while other weeks are simply progress updates.

“We started our SD building adventure in October 2024. Jason with iLevel Construction has been absolutely amazing to work with and we could not be happier with how it all came together!
After spending 6 days in SD putting the cabin together….late nights, early mornings, several trips to Rapid City and City Hall in Lead, many trial and error shenanigans and every muscle in our body aches but….Whiskey Bent Hideaway is complete, we didn’t kill each other and we are in love with the finished product!
“Jason Pedersen seriously…you have been awesome! Your attention to detail, your ideas, your honesty, and your communication have made this build very smooth especially from afar! And your crew is awesome too….helping us out with some things in the house! I have worked with several builders as a Realtor for clients and this is personally our 2nd build and you have far exceeded all of them! Can you please come build in ND?”
