Legacy is a Practice, Not a Product
We build and renew homes that quietly reflect your values. Rooted in Portland and guided by building science, Opus Vitae Construction creates heirloom-quality new homes and thoughtful renovations built to endure.
At Opus Vitae, building well means thinking in generations. The same principles that guide our Vitadurra new homes—airtight, moisture-resilient assemblies; balanced ventilation; healthy, durable materials—also elevate our renovation work. Every project begins with curiosity and ends with clarity: a home that performs quietly, feels grounded, and stands resilient through time.
What kind of home story are you writing next?
Whether restoring what’s here or beginning anew, the standard doesn’t change.
New Homes
For clients who want to start fresh, Vitadurra homes express the full measure of our craft: a fusion of life and endurance, science and spirit.
Renovations
Preserve what’s meaningful while transforming how your home lives. Renovations offer a chance to modernize performance and reclaim comfort—without losing character.
Our Process
Clarity, collaboration, and craftsmanship—every step of the way
From the first conversation to final handover, our preconstruction process ensures that beauty and performance are never at odds. We coordinate closely with architects, designers, consultants, trade partners, and clients to align every decision with lasting integrity.
Rooted in the Northwest
Opus Vitae’s build process differs significantly from most of the industry, and we want you to sense that from the start. Our emphasis is on an intensive front-end, preconstruction design process.
We insist that investigation and design documentation happen early. Closely linking them from the beginning allows OVC to positively impact outcomes, should design change be necessary, to protect schedule and cost.
