Altura Custom Homes is a locally owned company specializing in custom home construction throughout the Rocky Mountains, including Fairplay, Alma, Blue River, and Breckenridge. Led by a Fairplay-based general contractor and builder, we bring a hands-on, detail-oriented approach to every build. Building in the Rockies isn’t like building anywhere else. From steep terrain and seasonal access to snow loads and well/septic systems, mountain construction demands specialized knowledge. As locals, we understand the land, the climate, and the process—ensuring your home is built to last in the environment you love. Our reputation is built on high-quality craftsmanship, clear communication, and a strong work ethic you can trust from start to finish. “Altura” means “height” or “elevation” — a fitting name that reflects both the mountain landscapes we build in and our dedication to raising the bar in custom home construction.
Altura Custom Homes was founded by Jon Foster, a licensed general contractor based in Fairplay, Colorado. With a background in both customer service and construction, Jon is known for his strong work ethic, honest communication, and commitment to quality. Born and raised in the Midwest, he brings dependable, hands-on leadership to every project.
Now living at 10,800 feet, Jon understands the unique demands of mountain building — from extreme weather to site logistics — and uses that local knowledge to guide each home through every phase of the build. Serving Fairplay, Alma, Blue River, and Breckenridge, Jon is dedicated to helping clients create homes that are both beautiful and built to thrive in the Colorado mountains.
We manage every step of the building process — from architectural and engineering coordination to permits, excavation, framing, interior finishes, and final inspections. We also take care of ordering and scheduling material deliveries, and coordinate septic and well installation to keep your build running smoothly. We work with reliable local subcontractors and trusted trades to ensure high-quality results. Clear communication keeps your project organized, on track, and transparent from day one through to Certificate of Occupancy.
At Altura Custom Homes, we pride ourselves on being responsive, professional, and easy to communicate with throughout the entire building process. Our clients appreciate our transparency, follow-through, and commitment to delivering high-quality mountain homes with integrity and care — it’s what sets us apart.
