Construction Company in Glacier Club CO
Sachs Construction has spent 22+ years building and renovating in the Durango area, bringing practical mountain-building knowledge to Glacier Club CO.

Frequently Asked Questions
La Plata County uses elevation-based snow-load requirements, and the exact parcel controls. At 7,500 feet, the current table lists 61 PSF live roof load and 86 PSF ground snow load, with higher requirements at greater elevations.
Yes. Glacier Club is subject to development agreements and standards separate from ordinary county development requirements. Exterior materials, architectural character and site compatibility should be addressed early in the design process
Yes. Remodeling can be an excellent way to improve kitchens, baths, interiors, energy performance and mountain-living functionality without starting from scratch.
Absolutely. Local examples emphasize natural stone, timber, large windows, covered outdoor spaces and strong connections to the surrounding landscape. Good design should make those features work with the climate not against it.
