What Does it Take to Build a Custom Home?

Building a home is part science, part art, and part hard work. As one of the few handmade products we have, each home is unique.

What Does It Take To Build A Home?

Your new home is a large investment and our job is to make the construction a pleasant and enjoyable experience.

First is choosing the plan. We have many plans to select from or we can use one you have, then you need to decide on the location. We can help you find a lot or build on land you already found or own. These first two steps to new-home construction may be reversed. When we have a good idea what you want in your new home, we will give you a price proposal. After you accept the price, we’ll sign the contract and specifications. You will need a 5 to 10 percent down payment.

Next is financing. If you want to buy the land, we can help you find excellent rates and terms. Or we can take care of it and sell you the home after it’s completed.

Then comes the permit process, which can take minutes or weeks depending on the rules where the home will be built. After we get the permits, we can actually begin construction. Many things affect the speed at which the house is completed, which include the style and size of the house, the amenities you choose, material availability, labor availability, and weather conditions. We will keep you posted on the progress. Rest assured that getting you into your new home as quickly as possible is a top priority for us.

When the house is complete, we will tour it with you to assure your satisfaction and answer any questions you may have, settle up financially, and give you the keys. Your brand-new home will be given to you in “move-in” condition.
