Our goal is simple: at the end of your project, we want you to say ‘There were no surprises, and I wouldn’t change a thing.’ While new custom home building or customizing your existing home naturally involves some unknowns, we discuss everything upfront. Our experienced team anticipates potential challenges and keeps you informed every step of the way. It’s this proactive communication that ensures a smooth, enjoyable building experience.

Everything starts with our complimentary consultation, typically via Zoom or phone. During this no-obligation meeting, we’ll explore your vision, discuss your budget goals, and outline our proven process. To make the most of our time together, we recommend gathering inspirational photos, must-have features, and any initial budget considerations. This helps us understand exactly what you’re looking for in your dream home.

Throughout our site you will see starting price points for new custom builds as well existing home customization.  However, asking for a price per square foot is like asking a doctor for a diagnosis without an examination – it’s impossible to answer meaningfully without understanding your specific vision. Custom home costs vary dramatically based on design choices, site conditions, and materials selected. The same square footage could cost 10 times more or less depending on your selections. During our initial consultation, we’ll discuss your goals and help you understand how different choices impact overall cost. This way, you can make informed decisions that align with your budget while creating your perfect home.

While we encourage finalizing decisions before construction begins, we understand that seeing your home take shape might inspire new ideas. Our clear change order process makes it easy to evaluate modifications during construction. Before proceeding with any changes or upgrades, we provide detailed information about cost and timeline impacts, ensuring you can make informed decisions. Our goal is maintaining flexibility while keeping your project on track and free from surprises.

We encourage your involvement throughout the building process! Our team is always available to answer questions and discuss progress. We believe keeping you informed and involved helps create an exciting and enjoyable experience.

Quality control begins with our carefully selected team of premium subcontractors and continues through every phase of construction. Our project managers oversee daily progress and conduct regular inspections that go beyond local requirements. We maintain detailed checklists for each construction phase and hold every aspect of your home to our exacting standards. This systematic approach to quality ensures your home is built to last.

Your home comes with a comprehensive warranty package that includes:

• 1-year coverage on workmanship and materials
• 2-year coverage on systems
• 10-year structural warranty (for new homes)

This warranty coverage applies to all work we perform and systems we install, whether it’s a new custom home or a renovation project. We also pass through all manufacturer warranties and provide detailed documentation of your coverage. But our commitment extends beyond these formal warranties – it’s not uncommon for us to take care of minor issues even a few years after completion, at no cost to you. Your long-term satisfaction and our reputation for excellence are everything to us.

Our goal is to make your dream home a reality while adding value through our expertise.

Each project varies in timeline based on complexity, design choices, and seasonal factors. During your initial consultation, we’ll provide a general timeline based on similar projects. As part of our design and discovery process, we’ll develop a detailed timeline. Typically, from your initial consultation to receiving your keys, our custom homes take 8-12 months, with actual construction usually taking 4-8 months once we break ground. Our bi-weekly updates ensure you know exactly what to expect at each stage.

If during your complimentary initial consultation it makes sense to move forward with our Design & Discovery phase we will schedule a time to visit your home.  Based on our conversation, we will help price out and design your project.  We then will continue to refine it until your vision is in alignment with your budget.  Often we will use 3D Renderings to help you visualize. 

It depends on the extent of the remodel or renovation project and what rooms are affected.  For shorter projects, some of our clients even plan a vacation for part or all of the projects.  If you choose to not move out during the construction process, our team understands that our construction site is  your home.  We will do our very best to mitigate dust and to keep your home clean.

Each project varies in timeline based on scope and complexity. During your initial consultation, we’ll provide a general timeline based on similar projects. For example, a bathroom renovation typically takes 2-4 weeks, while a full kitchen remodel might take 4-8 weeks. Whole-house renovations can range from 3-6 months or more depending on scope. As part of our design and discovery process, we will provide more detailed timelines specific to your project. 

Protecting your home during construction is our top priority. We take several precautions to minimize dust, debris, and disruption while ensuring your property remains safe and clean:

• Dust Containment: We use plastic barriers, zip walls, and dust control systems to isolate the construction area and prevent dust from spreading into other parts of your home.
• Floor and Surface Protection: We cover floors, countertops, and other surfaces with protective materials like drop cloths, Ram Board, and plastic sheeting to prevent damage.
• Ventilation Control: HEPA-filtered air scrubbers and fans help maintain clean air by reducing dust and particles during the project.
• Secure Worksite: Tools, equipment, and materials are organized daily to prevent accidents and keep the work area safe.
• Daily Cleanup: At the end of each workday, we clean the job site to minimize clutter and disruption.
• Respect for Your Home: Our team is trained to treat your property with care and respect, ensuring a smooth and stress-free experience for you and your family.

We have solutions for just about every situation. While many of our clients pay cash, we work closely with several trusted local and national lenders who understand custom home building and renovation project financing.

When it comes to new custom home building, many clients use a construction-to-permanent loan, which converts to a traditional mortgage after completion. We can also help arrange bridge loans so you can use the equity in your current home without moving to a rental during construction.

As it relates to remodeling and renovation projects at your existing home many of our clients use a home equity line of credit during construction and often convert that to a home equity loan. 

Our team coordinates directly with your lender throughout the process, making financing as smooth as possible.

While construction loan down payments typically range from 20-25% of the total project cost, we have financing solutions for various situations. Through our network of lenders, we can access special construction loan programs requiring as little as 5% down.

Every client’s financial situation is unique, so we’ll connect you with lenders offering programs that best match your needs. During our initial consultation, we can discuss various financing options to find the right fit for you.

We offer flexible partnership structures tailored to each project’s needs. These can include joint ventures for land development, equity partnerships for spec home construction, or structured agreements for multi-lot developments. Each partnership is designed to align interests and maximize returns while maintaining clear expectations and milestones.

We look for areas with strong economic fundamentals, population growth, and infrastructure improvements. Key indicators include school quality, employment opportunities, accessibility, and planned community developments. We also analyze local market trends, builder activity, and potential for appreciation to ensure long-term value creation.

This is the perfect opportunity to consider custom building. Many clients who have been searching without success make excellent custom home candidates. We can help them design and build exactly what they want, often for a similar investment to what they were planning to spend on an existing home. Plus, they’ll get modern features, energy efficiency, and their preferred layout.

Our realtor referral program is designed to be straightforward and rewarding. We offer competitive commissions on both the lot and the home construction, potentially tripling your normal commission compared to an existing home sale. We pay the lot commission at closing and the construction commission at key build milestones, providing you with earlier payouts than waiting for final completion.

Working with us creates multiple revenue opportunities. You can earn commissions on both the land purchase and the finished home, often resulting in significantly higher total commissions than a traditional resale. Plus, these projects often lead to additional referrals from satisfied clients who appreciate your ability to provide creative solutions to their housing needs.

We provide comprehensive support including detailed lot/land packages, virtual home tours, interactive design tools, and customizable marketing materials. Our team offers regular updates on available lots and upcoming projects, and we work closely with you throughout the entire process. We also provide training on how to effectively present custom building options to your clients and help you identify ideal candidates for custom homes.

Our process begins with thorough due diligence, including title research, environmental studies, and feasibility analysis. We then develop comprehensive plans considering best use, market demand, and local regulations. We manage all aspects from initial concept through final development, including infrastructure planning, permitting, and lot preparation.

We have extensive experience navigating local regulations and maintain strong relationships with municipal authorities. Our team handles all aspects of the entitlement process, from zoning and permitting to environmental compliance. We coordinate with necessary agencies and consultants to ensure smooth approvals while keeping our partners informed throughout the process.

We specialize in residential land development opportunities ranging from single-lot projects to larger subdivisions. Our focus includes raw land development, infill projects, and paper lot development. We carefully select projects that align with market demand and our expertise in creating value through strategic development.
