How your custom home comes together

The steps

1. 01

   Step 1: Initial consultation

   It starts with a conversation about how you live, what you want from your home, where you want to build and what you want to invest.

   Tip: Bring photos, floor plans or a list of what you love and don't love about your current home.

   Step 2: Lot evaluation

   We look at the lot with you: slope, access, views, sun and anything else that affects where and how the home sits.

   Tip: Still choosing land? Talk to a builder before you buy. The lot shapes both the design and the cost.

   Step 3: Design and plans

   Your home is designed around your lot and your priorities, and the plans are refined until they fit both.

   Tip: Decide early which rooms matter most to you. It keeps design decisions focused.

   Step 4: Selections and pricing

   When plans are complete and finishes, fixtures and materials are chosen, pricing can be completed.

   Tip: Finish your selections before construction starts to help keep the schedule on track.

   Step 5: Construction

   Construction begins, from site work and foundation through framing, systems and finishes.

   Step 6: Final walkthrough and move-in

   Before you move in, we walk the finished home with you, room by room.

   Tip: Keep a running list of questions for the walkthrough. Nothing is too small to ask.
