Chanelle was born into a family of builders renowned for their work constructing schools, hospitals and churches in the south of England.

Her roots in construction can be traced as far back as 1671 when Thomas and Jeremiah Hagger (Chanelle’s maiden name) are on record employing 12 men building in the city of  Great Chesterford, England.  Much of their work still stands today and a street is named after the family.

Her first project was a remodel where she transformed a 900 square foot, 3 bedroom single level home into a 3,000 square foot, 5 bedroom, two-story country house.

After moving to the USA Chanelle worked with top custom home builders on the family’s own homes, first in Cincinnati, Ohio and then Raleigh, North Carolina to gain an understanding of the differences between construction in England and the USA.

In 2003 Chanelle brought her passion for building to Pagosa Springs, Colorado.  Through her attention to detail and personal involvement in every step of the construction process, she has quietly earned a reputation for building some of the finest quality custom homes in the area
