Our Home Building Process

Building a new home follows a predictable process, yet one with many nuances. Knowledgeable attention to detail can make the difference between an ordinary and an extraordinary home and homebuilding experience. It is a little left-brain, technical, process and detail oriented, and a little right-brain, creative and relationship oriented.

The Preconstruction Process

We begin your custom homebuilding process at the stage where you are. We can begin as early as site location or as late as bidding and building with your plans on your lot.

The process typically works as follows:

1. Site Selection: Work with us and our Realtor contacts to find the lot that works for you.
2. Plan Design: Review our plans or bring your ideas to create a new design with our affiliated architectural designers.
3. Rough Budget: We create a rough budget based on the design and expected finishes to ensure overall costs are consistent with your desires.
4. Engineering: We send your plans out for the full engineering package required to design the foundation, framing, and, if needed, drainage plans.
5. Final Budget: With completed architectural and engineering plans, we can finalize the cost of the foundation and framing work to determine the final price of your new home.
6. Loan Approval: If you are going to finance part of the construction, work with our preferred lenders for market-leading rates on a one-time-close construction to mortgage loan to minimize closing costs.
7. Permitting: With the addition of a few forms, your house is now ready for permitting.
8. Design Selections: Begin working with one of our affiliated designers to put your personal touch on your new home as you select everything you will see, including paint colors, cabinet design, countertops, flooring, lighting, and hardware.
9. Start Building: Once the permit and loan are approved, we can begin construction. You will meet your construction supervisor to discuss the process. Your construction supervisor is at your service. Feel free to contact them with questions, comments, or concerns. Expect them to keep in touch with you at least weekly to advise you of progress made and upcoming work schedules.
