"When we met with David the first time, we figured that since we were not
doing your run of the mill house that he would either decline due to the complexity of a "non-standard" house or
he would want to have full control of every aspect from start to finish. To our surprise, David jumped at the chance
to do something different, was very aggressive in maintaining the initial budget that we agreed upon and allowed us to work
on certain aspects of the home and pick some of our own subcontractors. He was a pleasure to work with because when
it comes to the budget David is a stickler about doing what he says and goes the extra mile to ensure he comes in on target
and there are no surprises for the client. Additionally, David is very particular about the quality of work and holds
his sub-contractors to a high standard of craftsmanship. We would definitely recommend David to others."

"We selected David Langham to build our new custom home after interviewing multiple
builders. His references were impeccable which seemed almost too good to be true. His relationship with everyone; construction
clients, subcontractors, suppliers, other builders, etc., came back extremely positive. The words they consistently used were
"professional", "honest", "dependable", "reliable" and "knows how to build a
house". If he was half as good as everyone said, he would work out great.
Throughout
the entire design/build process, he made every effort to deliver exactly what we had in mind, developing a detailed cost estimate
and then watching the budget throughout.
His years of experience building
custom homes were immediately apparent in his design review comments with our Architect and he was able to see potential issues,
come up with alternative ideas and discuss the most cost effective methods of building the home.
He proved his experience in the field with his close working relationships with his hand-picked sub-contractors,
who have enormous respect for him and know he will only accept perfection from them (so they do the job right the first time).
His attention to detail is exceptional, almost fanatical, and shows with the end result being a perfect home.
His integrity, honesty and respect showed in all aspects of the process, making the
Construction Project a pleasure. Knowing you can trust your builder makes all the difference in the world when investing in
a new home. I would not hesitate for a minute to recommend David to anyone, regardless of the scope of the job."

"We contacted David during a critical time in our lives. Our son-in-law was paralyzed as the result
of a dirt bike accident in late June. As he recovered in a rehabilitation facility in Denver we decided to invite him
and our daughter to move in with us when they returned to Rio Rancho. Our home is one level but was not handicapped
accessible. We contacted David with our dilemma and he responded immediately. After our initial visit he did
some research and listened to us as we together designed "Bryan and Jen's Suite." David and his crew
had to work quickly to complete the project for our children's return in early October. The result of David's work
is both functional and beautiful. Our son-in-law is able to have access to everything he needs from the ramps
into the house to a beautifully designed bathroom and bedroom area. We are thankful for David's help in our
time of need."

"We were fortunate in being referred to David by our
friends, who spoke so highly of him and his workers. We decided to make an appointment with him to visit about the construction
of the Gazebo that we wanted. We had met with several people about this before but hadn't really felt comfortable with
any of them. It was well worth our time in getting to know David and the design that he came up with for our Gazebo
was fantastic, as was the way that he created our budget. David takes pride in his work and is a terrific Craftsman,
we would recommend him to anyone who would want to undertake a project! Our Gazebo is beautiful, Thank you and your
workers!"

"Although we did not work with David Langham while he was building our home in
Rio Rancho, we have thoroughly enjoyed working with him since purchasing the home in May 2008. David's homes are visually
stunning and exceptionally well built. Upon entering our home for the first time, we were immediately taken by its design,
the quality of workmanship, and the amazing mountain views that had been captured in virtually every window by the placement
of the home on the half acre lot. Equally impressive was David's follow-up after purchase. His attentiveness to
every request and detail further underscored the quality of his work. We were fortunate to have David's assistance with
a subsequent fence and landscape project in our backyard. Under his constant supervision, the project was beautifully
completed on time and within budget. Our David Langham home has become our dream home in New Mexico, and we recommend
David's work to anyone seeking a truly creative and conscientious builder."

"From
beginning to end, David Langham provided us with top-notch service in the construction of our home. He was extremely
easy to work with and was very responsive to all of our questions and requests. To start with, David assisted us in
the design of our home and gave us valuable aesthetic and cost-saving tips. Upon the commencement of our home construction,
David oversaw every aspect of the process with precision, never-ending attention to detail, and budget-conscious decisions.
The quality of his construction is outstanding, due to his abovementioned attention to detail and highly-skilled subcontractors
(we should mention that his subcontractors were great to work with and really listened to us, as did David). He actually
completed the project under budget and ahead of schedule. We are extremely happy with the end product and we've received
numerous compliments from family and friends on the beauty and quality of our home. We would highly recommend David
to anyone wanting to build a house (and we are already recommending him to friends and acquaintances for home remodeling jobs!)."

"David is a Gentleman and a true Professional! What a treat to find no surprises on the final bill
and have all of the expenses be exactly what they were supposed to be. After a while, we learned that we didn't have
to worry because David did all of the worrying for us, and since he is a perfectionist, that meant that we didn't have to
be! We sure missed David and all of the workers when they were finished with the job, our dog became quite depressed.
We told our good friends all about David and he did a project for them, they love their new space as much as we love our new
Pergola. Thanks, David!!"
Alvin and Libby D.
"David built us an Award Winning Home and made sure we had a good time doing it! His attention to detail, patience, and professionalism made
building our home a lot of fun and we experienced much less stress than we had originally anticipated!! His extensive
experience and professional guidance helped turn our vision for our dream home into a reality. His honesty and truthfulness
in budgeting meant the world to us. On-time and on budget are not common in the construction industry, but David worked
to assure that our project was just that. If we didn't love our home so much - we'd be ready to build another one with him!
David's homes are built with a level of craftsmanship that is enduring."

"Being
relatively new to Albuquerque, we weren't sure who to visit with regarding the garage and Casita that we added behind our
home so my wife began asking people that she knew who they would recommend. David had just completed a remodel for one
her friends and he was highly recommended. We had our initial meeting and decided that we would like to work with David
and it was definitely a good decision.
He brought my design of the
Garage/Casita to life. He also was understanding when I made some design changes along the way. With any construction project,
not every day is a perfect day but what's most important is would you recommend your Builder to someone else and I can unequivocally
state that I would have no reservations recommending David to anyone.
David
is conscientious, the people that he works with are pleasant, and at the end of the project, my wife and I are very pleased
and happy. I believe that anyone would be pleased with working with David."
Eric and Jeanine D.
"David,
Sorry this has taken a bit but we wanted
to get the feel of the house before sending it. Now that we have been in here a little over a month I am completely
overwhelmed with how well this house was built.
Coming
from a tract home to a custom home is of course a huge difference, but you thought of so many things like lighting, electrical
plugs etc. The kitchen and the cabinets with so many different details within them makes organization a breeze.
Your tile work throughout the house is absolutely beautiful.
I would recommend you to anyone who is thinking of building a new home. You positioned this house to take
advantage of the view and it does, I love it. Thank you again!"
