Our Process
Thanks to our extensive experience in custom home design and our understanding of industry practices and standards, we have an effective and meticulous process that helps us deliver what our clients need. Here is how we go about it…
Step One
SITE VISIT AND CONSULTATION
Our process begins with a visit to your build site, where we also discuss and review your floor plans, budget, the expected timeline, and which features need to be tailored or customized.
STEP 1
On-site Consult
During the preliminary phase, you’ll meet with our team to discuss your build site, floorplans, customizable features, build budget and timeline.
STEP 2
Design & Development
Design options, plan specifications, further budget analysis and a final review of your home building goals.
STEP 3
Working Plans
Discussions begin with the structural engineer regarding architectural plans and submitted for final approvals and permits. The project’s estimate will be fine tuned throughout the approval process.

Final approval of drawings, agreed upon build budget and a fully executed construction to build agreement will be signed. At this time, your initial deposit (case-by- case basis) will be due.

Pre-Construction
Let’s Find Your Front Door as we walk your lot. We will walk your lot to determine your perfect build layout. Our team will work on final structural / engineer planning & reports, pulling permits and creating your building schedule (6-8 weeks timeline). Once all approvals and permits are in, foundation preparation begins.
