CUSTOM HOME DESIGN & CONSTRUCTION
LOT ACQUISITION
If you don’t already own a lot, as a complimentary service we will help you locate and purchase your lot.
ALREADY HAVE LOT
As a complimentary service, our owner/builder will personally visit your lot and offer you suggestions on house placement as well as anything your lot’s characteristics show him could help you save on the cost of your new home.
PLAN DESIGN
If you haven’t already paid an architect or other home plan design professional for a full set of building plans, we offer you two complimentary service options.
- Whether you have a preferred plan design professional you wish to work directly with to develop your plans or you want to work directly with one of our referred professional plan design team members, we will accompany you to each and every plan design meeting in an effort to ensure the plan design being developed is able to be built within your budget.
- Rather than paying an architect or other professional home plan designer for the many hours over multiple visits you’ll spend with him/her, taking just one visit to share your ideas, wants, needs, lifestyle requirements and any photos you’ve collected over time with us, as your advocate we’ll work directly with one of our architect or professional plan design team members for you. This option will save you time, money, and will greatly speed up your plan design process.
ENGINEERING
Our engineering team provides all of the various different engineering services needed for a top quality built custom home. No need for you to seek out and hire different engineering firms to develop engineered foundation and frame plans, locate lot corners, do soil testing, or stake out house corners.
THE PROCESS
Discovery Consultation
Let’s meet and get to know each other! We call this our discovery phase because during this meeting we LISTEN to you in order to understand your dream, and how we can make your dream work within your budget. It is a collaborative process that lets us bring your vision to life.
Land
Land characteristics differ from one piece of property to the next. Multiple different unexpected extra building costs are caused by the piece of land being built on. If you don’t already have your land, our counsel and assistance throughout your search and securing of land protects you from incurring any land-caused building cost surprises.
Plan Design & Selections
Our design team will draw preliminary plans based on your particular needs, lifestyle, and budget. Here is where we differ from all other builders you’ve looked at. Once we’ve fine-tuned your preliminary plans, we then assist you in making all of your personal decorating selection choices.
Price out & Contract
With your fine-tuned preliminary plans and all of your decorating selections in hand, we are able to price out your home and enter into a fixed-price construction contract with you. Our unique plan design, selections, and price-out practices ensure that you won’t experience any of the budget-busting out-of-pocket additional cost surprises you’ve probably heard about from friends or family members who experienced them while building their custom home.
Final Plans / Engineering / Permits
Now our design team draws the full set of custom building plans for your reviewing and signing off on before our engineer team designs the engineered plans for your home’s framing structure and foundation. Any required building permits are then acquired with the completed building and engineered plans
