Axiom's Story

Today, Axiom is a firm of more than 35 people who are passionate about business, design, and construction. Our belief in the power of collaboration stems from the founding partners passion to combine the trades of construction and business with the creativity of art and design.

John and Heather Cashman founded Axiom in 2001, right after they were married. The two met at The Buckaroo tavern in Fremont when they were both just getting started in their careers, and quickly realized they had very common goals. John had a passion for construction and building, a Master of Architecture, and was working at an architecture firm in Seattle. Heather had a BA in journalism, a creative eye, and generational family ties in the construction business. They bonded over their mutually profound love of creating art and design, and both shared an interest in starting a thriving business.

Their shared mission was to design and build projects with creativity, craftsmanship, and innovation. They were especially intrigued by the idea of inspired design and professional building being executed under one roof, by one team, as one operation.
