Seamless Building Process

We understand that building a custom home is a significant undertaking but we’re here to assist you in every stage of the project. Here’s a step-by-step guide of our building process:

1. Initial Consultation

We begin with an initial design consultation to discuss your vision, budget, and timeline.

2. Design and Planning

You can choose from our extensive collection of custom home designs or we can create one from scratch based on the ideas you share with us. Our experienced draftsman will work with you to refine your plans, ensuring they meet local building codes and regulations.

3. Design Center Showroom Experience

Schedule a visit at our on-site Design Center Showroom in Harrington to select all the finishing touches for your home. From cabinets and countertops to bath and kitchen fixtures, we offer a wide range of options under one roof, making the selection process both convenient and enjoyable.

4. Issuing of Pricing Proposals

We provide detailed pricing proposals based on your specific selections. Unlike other builders, we avoid vague allowances and instead offer a selection-based pricing approach that ensures transparency and fairness.

5. Permitting and Construction

Once your plans and selections are finalized, we handle all necessary permits and begin construction. Our team works closely with local suppliers and subcontractors to ensure efficient and high-quality work.

6. Regular Updates and Communication

Throughout the construction process, we prioritize clear and consistent communication to keep you informed every step of the way. In addition to direct updates from our team, we provide access to Ressio, a user-friendly app that allows you to track progress, receive real-time updates, and easily communicate with us. With Ressio, staying connected and up to date on your home’s construction has never been easier.

7. Final Home Inspection and Move-In

Upon completion, we conduct a thorough final inspection to ensure that every detail meets our high standards. Once satisfied, we hand over the keys, and you can enjoy your new home.

8. Warranty and Support

After move-in, we provide a comprehensive warranty and ongoing support to address any questions or concerns you may have. This process is designed to be collaborative, transparent, and tailored to your needs, ensuring that your custom homebuilding experience with us is both enjoyable and stress-free.
