Zac Turcott
Owner / Project Manager
After earning a Bachelor's in Mechanical Engineering Technology from Eastern Washington University, Zac commissioned as a Combat Engineer officer in the U.S. Army. There, he gained his initial construction experience — building roads, bridges, airfields, and structures —while stationed at Ft. Leonard Wood, MO, and Ft. Stewart, GA. Later, he worked with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Savannah District), contributing to major civil projects such as the $1+ billion Savannah Harbor Expansion Project (SHEP).
Following his military service, Zac returned to his hometown of Spokane, WA, where he worked as a project manager and engineer for a commercial construction product manufacturer. In this role, Zac developed expertise in modern building science and high-performance construction, helping clients achieve durable, energy-efficient building envelopes on commercial projects. Zac learned how to apply these same small but extremely important details, which are typically overlooked by most builders, to homes to help ensure homes remain safe, healthy, and comfortable for generations.
Frustrated with the poor quality of the newly built homes Zac and his wife experienced during their Army moves, Zac became passionate about building better homes and applying the same high performance details he was implementing in commercial construction. Zac built their family’s home west of Deer Park using those same advanced building science techniques to ensure long-term comfort, health, and resilience. After completing their home, he immediately took on a second home build, which then snowballed into founding Heritage Homebuilders.
The Ford Corkscrew Fire—coming within a mile of their home—further expanded his focus on high-performance design to incorporate wildfire-resistance. Today, Heritage implements numerous critical wildfire mitigation strategies into the design of our homes to help offer the best protection possible for your home.
Zac continues to live in the Deer Park, WA area with his wife and three daughters (with a baby boy on the way!).
Dayne Raines
Superintendent
Originating from the Seattle area. Dayne began his construction career working in fencing where he learned the importance of building with speed without compromising quality. Making a brief pivot into commercial construction, Dayne worked for a concrete company where he worked independently in concrete cutting, coordinating with multiple other trades to ensure that not only was their work properly supporting the other work on site, but ensuring that scheduling was done appropriately to ensure progress on site continued as smoothly as possible across multiple trades. Having discovered a love for detailed construction work, Dayne eventually transitioned to work as a carpenter on luxury custom remodels where he was responsible for operating independently, managing quality control, and communicating issues and progress with homeowners . Following years of successfully completed, highly detailed projects in upscale Seattle-area homes, Dayne eventually made his way to the Spokane area to be closer to his girlfriend’s family. It was shortly after this move that Dayne joined the Heritage Homebuilders team, bringing his incredible level of attention to detail, finish carpentry skills, and excellent customer relations ability to help round out our team and ensure that day to day operations continue to run smoothly on our jobsites.
