Our Custom Home Building Process

We want this to be an enjoyable experience for you. We do the footwork, eliminating the stress that can come with building a new custom home. We are in your corner every step of the way, from working with the architect to interior design and landscaping.

We have outlined our custom homebuilding process below to give you a better idea of what happens once you begin working with us.

1. We work closely with you and the architect to design the custom home of your dreams.

2. Once your house plans are completed, they are given to our trade contractors for pricing to determine our contract amount to build your custom home.

3. We then work with you to select the exterior colors of your custom home and present them to the Architectural Review Board for approval. These selections include the stucco or siding body and trim colors, roofing shingle colors, type of windows and color, shutter colors and front door color.

4. As part of your selection process for interior allowance items, we include 15 hours of our professional interior designer’s time. This is for the selection of your cabinets, counter tops, appliances, plumbing and light fixtures, flooring including shower and tub walls, front door, bath hardware and interior door hardware. All selections are made prior to the construction of your custom home.

5. We work closely with you and our landscape architect in the design of your landscape package. Your landscape design package is also submitted to the Architectural Review Board for their review and approval.

6. Once your custom home is complete through the framing stage, an electrical walk-through is scheduled to review all electrical locations. This takes approximately three hours. At this time, any additional electrical options you prefer can be added or changed.

7. Once your custom home is completed, a time is scheduled for your orientation tour. At this time we will familiarize you with all aspects of your custom home including water and electrical shut-off areas, workings of all appliances, making adjustments to your thermostat, changing of filters, etc.

8. We ask that you accumulate a list of items you would like to have addressed during the first 30 days after your orientation. Call to schedule a time with our customer service representative to review your punch list items. Our customer service representative will contact you within 45 days of your orientation if we don’t hear from you.

Our goal is to make the building experience as seamless as possible for our customers. Since a large percentage of our customers are not present during the construction of their homes, we have refined our process to be as customer-friendly as possible. You can visit the Client’s Corner on our website to see the construction progress of your custom home.
