NEW CONSTRUCTION WASATCH BACK
Custom Home Construction Across the Wasatch Back
The Wasatch Back stretches from Park City through Hideout, Jordanelle, Heber, Midway, Kamas, and into the surrounding valleys. Each community has its own character, its own permitting process, and its own construction challenges. A builder who works across this entire region needs to understand all of them.
Three Peak operates across the full Wasatch Back because our clients buy land where the opportunity is best — not where it's most convenient for their contractor. We bring the same planning discipline, budget transparency, and field execution regardless of which valley or ridgeline the project sits on.
Why the Wasatch Back Is Not One Market
People talk about the Wasatch Back like it's a single market. It isn't. Park City has steep lots, aggressive snow loads, and municipal permitting that moves slowly. Hideout has newer infrastructure but wind exposure and clay soils. Heber Valley has flat land with high water tables. Kamas has rural zoning, well and septic requirements, and longer utility runs.
A builder who treats all of these the same will underestimate costs in some areas and over-engineer in others. The result is either budget surprises or wasted money.
We've built across all of these sub-markets. We know which municipalities move fast, which inspectors are strict, which soil conditions require engineered foundations, and which communities have architectural review boards that add months to the timeline if you don't plan for them.
One Builder, Multiple Jurisdictions
The Wasatch Back spans Summit County, Wasatch County, and multiple municipal boundaries. Each has different permitting timelines, inspection requirements, and code interpretations. A project in Hideout goes through different channels than one in Heber or Midway.
We maintain active relationships with building departments across the region. That means we know turnaround times, we know which inspectors flag which details, and we submit plans that pass the first time — not the third.
For clients buying land in one community while living in another state, this matters enormously. You need a builder who can navigate the local bureaucracy without you having to manage it yourself.

The Wasatch Back is defined by its stunning landscapes and its demanding climate. Building a home that performs well in heavy snow loads, freeze-thaw cycles, and high altitudes requires specialized knowledge. Generic construction practices simply don't hold up here.
