Build Process

/01

Initial Consultation

The first stage of a custom home construction project involves meeting with the homeowner and the construction team to discuss the project's overall scope, goals, and budget.

/02

Design Phase

Once the project goals are defined, the design team will work to create a plan for the custom home that meets the homeowner's vision, functional needs, and local zoning requirements. This includes architectural drawings, site plans, and other necessary documentation.

/03

Permits and Approvals

Before construction can begin, the design plans need to be approved by the local building department and any other relevant agencies. This can involve obtaining permits, variances, and other regulatory approvals.

/04

Site Preparation

Before construction can begin, the site needs to be cleared, graded, and prepared for building. This includes any necessary excavation work, as well as installing utilities such as electricity, water, and sewer.

/05

Foundation

The foundation is the base on which the entire home is built. This stage involves pouring the concrete slab or digging and pouring the foundation walls and footings.

/06

Framing

Once the foundation is in place, the framing stage begins. This involves erecting the structural skeleton of the home, including the walls, floors, and roof.

/07

Rough Plumbing, Electrical, and HVAC

After the framing is complete, the rough-in stage begins. This involves installing the home's plumbing, electrical, and HVAC systems before the walls are closed up.

/08

Insulation and Drywall

Once the rough-in work is complete, the insulation is installed, followed by drywall installation and finishing.

/09

Interior Finishes

The interior finishes include all the elements that make the house look and feel like a home, including flooring, cabinets, countertops, paint, and trim.

/10

Final Inspection

Once construction is complete, a final inspection is conducted to ensure that the home meets all building codes and safety requirements.

The First Thing We Build Is Trust

We believe in the power of conversation and personal connection. So we’ll always be in touch.
