Approach

Our approach is rooted in quality over quantity. By building only a limited number of homes at a time, we give each one the care and attention it deserves — creating lasting homes for generations to come.

1954

John L. Crosby begins building homes in New Orleans. Two generations of the family follow him into the trade.

2000s

Casey Forshag studies Construction Management at LSU and starts building on the Northshore under his own name.

Today

Forshag Construction builds new custom homes and renovations across St. Tammany Parish — a few at a time, each with the owner and the architect at the table from the first meeting.

How a build runs

01

Listen

The lot or the existing house, how the family lives, what the budget really is. We say early what is possible and what is not.

02

Plan

With the architect, a set of drawings and a budget that agree with each other before anything is ordered.

03

Build

One superintendent on the job from footing to punch list. A weekly walk with the owner. FORTIFIED roofing and a standby generator as standard conversations, not upsells.

04

Stay

We are ten minutes away. The relationship does not end at the keys — it is in the tagline for a reason.

Built for here

Every house we build is offered with FORTIFIED roofing and a standby generator, because on the Northshore those are not upgrades — they are the difference between a bad week and a bad year. Casey is certified in both and sits on the boards that write the standards.

We build to be inspected, not just to pass inspection.
