Our Process
Through our 32+ years of experience building homes from the ground up, we’ve developed a proven streamlined process. We always follow this process, so you can know exactly what to expect, and we can keep the project running smoothly.
Initial Consultation & Vision
We begin with a relaxed, no-strings-attached meeting to hear all about your ideas and your must-haves. If you’ve already chosen your land, we’ll also do a free site visit to better understand the space and how we can design to fit it perfectly. After we’ve talked through your vision, we’ll put together a no-cost first-draft estimate. This gives you a ballpark idea of what your dream home could cost and helps you plan ahead—no pressure, just clarity.
Design & Planning
To move onto the full design phase, we require a retainer of services. This fee is calculated at 0.25% of the first draft estimate from your consultation. This will get credited back to you when we start construction. Next, we collaborate with architects and designers to create detailed plans for your home, including floor plans, elevations, and material selections. We’ll review these with you to ensure every detail aligns with your vision. Once you approve the design, we work with you and your financial institution to provide the necessary documentation for you to be able to finalize your loan and secure funds.
Pre-Construction Prep
Before breaking ground, we finalize the budget, timeline, and contracts. We’ll handle permitting and ensure compliance with local regulations. You’ll meet your dedicated Project Manager, who will be your point of contact throughout construction. We’ll keep you updated along the way so you always know what’s happening.
Construction
Our skilled team will manage every aspect of the build, from laying the foundation to framing, roofing, and installing systems like plumbing and electrical. We first begin by preparing the site—this includes clearing land, grading, and setting up utilities. Then your home can begin to take shape! We employ skilled laborers and partner with trusted subcontractors and vendors who we know and believe in. For safety purposes, we’ll invite you to visit the site at key stages so you can see the vision come to life. We’ll keep you in the loop with weekly updates, photos, and milestone highlights, and you can always reach out to your Project Manager.
Interior Finishes
Once the structure is complete, we move on to the fun part—making it yours! This includes installing flooring, cabinetry, countertops, fixtures, and paint. We’ll work closely with you to ensure every finish reflects your style. If you’ve chosen upgrades or custom features, this is when they come to life.
Final Walkthrough & Punch List
Before handing over the keys, we conduct thorough inspections to ensure everything meets our high standards and local codes. Then, we’ll walk through the home with you to review every detail. If there’s anything you’d like adjusted, we’ll prepare a Punch List document for you and the Project Manager to sign off on. We’ll provide you with a date of completion and promptly take care of everything on the list.
