FERNHILL'S STORY

Milestones mark our ascent, chapters define our growth, and an unwavering commitment to design excellence propels us forward.

1990s

A Seed Is Planted

Growing up, Alex was immersed in the construction industry, heavily influenced by his father, a finish carpenter and general contractor, and his grandfather, an immigrant carpenter. This early exposure instilled in him a profound respect for craftsmanship and a deep understanding of the nuances of construction.

2009

Early Days

Before founding Fernhill Build Studio, Alex successfully ran a company specializing in siteworks within the commercial and municipal sectors. This phase of his career honed his skills in large-scale project management, complex logistical coordination, and high standards of professionalism. However, his true passion lay in the creative aspect of construction, the art of transforming a vision into reality.

2015

New Zealand Inspiration

Alex's yearning for creative fulfillment led him to New Zealand, where he spent several years reconnecting with his love for design and craftsmanship. The serene landscapes and innovative architectural styles of New Zealand provided the perfect backdrop for this period of rediscovery.

2023

Ferhill Is Born

Returning to the United States with a revitalized vision, Alex launched Fernhill Build Studio in Boulder, Colorado. His mission was clear: to bring the lessons learned from his extensive experience in commercial and municipal construction to the residential sector, applying them with a delicate touch. At Fernhill Build Studio, the focus is on creating homes that reflect clients’ unique visions, built with precision and care.

2025

The Future is Bright

Molkentin’s vision is clear: to create homes that reflect the unique visions of his clients, built with the utmost precision and care. His journey from a young boy learning the ropes of construction to a seasoned professional leading a premier build studio is a testament to his unwavering commitment to quality and excellence.
