The Design + Build Process

Discovery & Vision Meeting

We start by getting to know you and how you want to live in your new home. We’ll talk through your ideas, the features that matter most, your budget, and where you’re planning to build.

What We’ll Discuss:

• Your design ideas and inspiration

• Preferred square footage and layout

• Bedrooms, bathrooms, and everyday needs

• Accessibility or aging-in-place features, if applicable

• Budget expectations and priorities

• Your preferred timeline

• Whether you already own land or are still looking

If you have a property in mind, we’ll also discuss a site inspection to understand conditions that could affect your plans and construction cost.

Making the Details Yours

From flooring to fixtures, your selections help shape the look, feel, and everyday function of your home. We’ll help you consider options that fit your style and budget.

Selections May Include:

• Flooring

• Cabinets

• Countertops

• Tile and backsplash

• Lighting

• Plumbing fixtures

• Paint colors

• Exterior colors and finishes

Our pricing includes allowances for certain fixtures and finishes. We’ll explain what’s included and how choices beyond those allowances can affect your final project cost.

Construction Begins (With Weekly Updates)

With the plans and agreements in place, we manage construction from foundation through completion. Our typical active construction timeline is approximately 28–32 weeks, although the schedule can vary depending on the home, property, and project requirements.

During Construction, You Can Expect:

• Weekly progress updates

• Photos showing your home’s progress

• Communication about the construction schedule

• Information about upcoming stages and decisions

• Updates when changes affect the project’s scope or cost

If you request a change during construction, we’ll review the details and cost with you. Changes are documented and approved before the additional work proceeds.

Welcome Home

Once your home is ready for handover, it’s time to settle in and enjoy the space you’ve helped create.

We’ll review the workmanship warranty and explain how to reach us if questions or concerns come up after move-in.

After Move-In, You’ll Have:

• Our workmanship warranty

• Information about applicable manufacturer warranties

• A way to contact our team with warranty questions

Our relationship doesn’t end when we hand over the keys. We stand behind our work and want you to feel comfortable reaching out when you need us.

Architectural Design & Customization

Bring a home plan you love or work with our design partners to develop one around your needs, property, and budget. We’ll review the design together and refine the details before moving forward.

The Design Phase May Include:

• Home layout and room sizes

• Floor plan customization

• Exterior style and elevations

• Features that fit your lifestyle

• How the design works with your property

• Materials and design preferences

• Options that fit your budget

The goal is a home that works for the way you live, while keeping your priorities and budget in mind.

Finalizing Details Before We Build

Before construction begins, we bring together the plans, property information, and selections to establish your project’s scope and construction price.

We use a fixed-price construction agreement, with allowances for specified fixtures and finishes, so you can review the agreed costs and understand what your price covers.

This Stage Includes:

• Reviewing site inspection findings

• Confirming plans and key selections

• Establishing the project-specific construction price

• Reviewing allowances and the construction agreement

• Identifying site, utility, and permit requirements

• Planning the construction schedule and any needed site preparation

For projects with enough details to price, we typically provide the construction price within about two weeks of the initial meeting and site inspection.

Once the necessary details and agreements are finalized, we can prepare for construction.
