Low-Carbon, High-Craft, High-Fives

Based in Seattle, we’re custom builders who believe in good people, great design, and a job done right.

Bucktide was named for our founder Alex’s grandfather — a ship captain and second-grade teacher who spent his summers on a fishing boat. Folks called him “Bucktide” for a reason. He wasn’t one to follow the current, and neither are we.

That spirit anchors everything we do. We’re a design-focused, craftsman-led construction company driven by relationships, collaboration, and high performance. Spanning new construction, remodels, and home additions, our projects are built to last. 

Low-carbon building is central to our work at Bucktide. Alex is a certified Passive House builder specializing in sustainable material choices, airtight assemblies, and energy-efficient systems. For us, sustainability isn’t a trend; it’s a practical, proven approach to building better homes.

The Bucktide Process

We’re both adaptable and precise. We follow the project where it leads, allowing the best ideas to rise to the surface. Collaboration comes first, determination second, and innovation ties it all together.

We’re determined, not stubborn. Craft-driven, not fancy.

And when the tide turns, we team up, lean in, and keep building.
