Our Process - Built on Experience & Craftsmanship

We have built docks, homes, and shoreline structures across East Tennessee long enough to know that the right process protects your investment. Here is exactly how we do it.

  • Tri Lakes Construction meeting with East Tennessee homeowner to discuss dock or residential project

    Step 1: Consultation

    We start by listening. Whether you are planning a custom dock on Tellico Lake or a new home build in Knoxville, we take time to understand your goals, property, budget, and timeline.

  • Contractor conducting site visit at East Tennessee waterfront property

    Step 2: Site Visit

    We visit your property to assess conditions, elevation, shoreline requirements, access, and build feasibility. Waterfront and residential projects each require careful evaluation, and this step ensures accuracy from the start.

  • Builder standing at residential lot reviewing elevation

    Step 3: Design & Estimate

    Our team develops a clear plan and detailed estimate tailored to your project. We walk the property ourselves. We evaluate shoreline stability, water depth, elevation, access, drainage, and structural requirements.

  • TVA Permitting by Tri Lakes Construction

    Step 4: Permitting

    Waterfront construction in East Tennessee often requires TVA and HOA approvals. We understand the process and handle what is necessary so your project stays compliant and on track.

  • East Tennessee construction crew preparing materials and schedule for project start

    Step 5: Scheduling

    We schedule projects realistically and communicate clearly. Materials, crews, and equipment are coordinated with intention so your build moves forward efficiently. No surprises. No disappearing acts.

  • Completed custom dock and residential construction project in East Tennessee

    Step 6: Build and Completion

    This is where craftsmanship shows. From precision dock installation to residential framing and finishing work, we build with structural integrity and attention to detail. The result is a project designed to last for decades.

What Clients Say

★★★★★

“Eddie has built four Docks for me and numerous for friends and customers. He is the best on Ft. Loudon, Watts Bar and Tellico lakes. Eddie knows the TVA rules and can help you breeze though the 26a process. If you want a quality dock Eddie is the man to call!”

— John T.

★★★★★

“Eddie Park built our Boat Dock and it was completed brilliantly. We purchased a boat that was larger than the original design envisioned - so, we called Eddie back and he said, No Problem. He had his team come back out and accomplished a design change to refit the new boat. You simply can’t even tell anything even changed. We used Eddie too service our lifts and to help us transfer the permit with TVA - all done with 100% accuracy and success. I don’t know what else I could say that would be more positive. Eddie and his team are the best professional and polite as well as simply being good people.”

— Alan B.

★★★★★

“Eddie and the team were incredible. Professionalism outstanding. Kept us 100% up speed throughout the entire process. Our dock is beautiful and our family loves it.”

— Matt M.

★★★★★

“I received a referral for Eddie Park to build our dock on Ft. Loudon Lake, and he exceeded our expectations. We explained exactly what we wanted, and Eddie delivered—and then some. He was incredibly easy to work with throughout the entire process. We added a couple of upgrades along the way, and he had no problem accommodating our requests. We’ve had our dock for five years now and haven’t had a single issue. I highly recommend Eddie for anyone looking for quality dock construction.”

— Kara H.
