The Community of Bishops Bay Builder Profile: Encore Designs

From the moment we envisioned The Community of Bishops Bay, we knew that in order to see our dreams come to fruition; the homes in our community would have to be of the highest quality design and construction. As such, we would need the skills and expertise of only the most respected and regarded builders in the area. Madison based Encore Construction clearly exceeded our expectations.

Encore Construction was established in Madison, Wisconsin in 1979, by founder Jerry Wuebben. As one of Madison's top home builders for more than 30 years, Encore Construction is now helmed by four long-time employees, including Chad Wuebben (Jerry's son), Kevin Hanna, Rene Gagner, and Jeff Jaschinski. Together this dynamic team places the utmost emphasis on designing homes with features that make your life more enjoyable, and less stressful. Earmarks of a home designed and built by Encore Construction include:

• Homes with large kitchens, and thoughtful transitions to the family room, so that entertaining family and friends is made simple.


• Large outdoor entertainment areas designed to make the most of the summer weather.


• Thoughtful organizational details, such as drop zones, kids' lockers, a charging station for electronics, and more all located in a rear foyer, which is included in Encore Construction's designs.


• Large pantries, designed to help you cut down on grocery store runs.



• Ample personal space for you to use as you see fit. In Encore Construction's design plans, space is always allotted for your personal preferences. Whether you want to use the personal space in the master suite for a chair to relax in after work, or a luxury shower, Encore Construction's designs affords you the opportunity to decide where you want to make space just for you.
