Grabher Construction was established in 1967 by Elmar Grabher.  Initially, Elmar started by building both custom homes for specific clients, and developing projects for speculative sale. In 1972, Fritz Grabher came to the United States to join his brother and add his unique skills to the growing business. Together they have built many homes with the highest quality of craftsmanship and material.

 

In the early eighties, it was one special client that would provide a unique opportunity to demonstrate their combined skills and further the reputation of Grabher Construction as one of the premier custom builders in the Wood River Valley. Grabher Construction was approached with plans for a Solar House on Fairway Road in Sun Valley.  Its design integrated exacting and detailed architecture design with state-of-the-art technologies. It was a challenge to build; both in the detail of its construction and the interaction with a complex project team spread across four states. And, in building it, Elmar realized that he had developed a team of craftsmen and suppliers who could offer a unique resource to clients and their architects for custom and specialty building in the Wood River Valley.

​

Elmar's Daughter, Elisabeth, transitioned into the company in 1992, and today is run by Elmar, herself, and her son, Trent. Grabher Construction continues to work with their clients that have become lifelong partnerships. Elmar continues to consult on these projects as he phases into retirement. Fritz Grabher, continues to work in the field.
