Building the home itself is the most straight-forward part of the overall process. But doing it efficiently is the hard part.

Believe it or not, the best homes are built the quickest. That’s because the project is run efficiently, without a lot of waiting around. And that benefits you, since you aren’t waiting around for your home to be finished!

This is where good planning comes in. Planning and organization is where the magic happens, and that starts with our pre-construction meetings.

The Genesis

Our pre-construction meetings are the genesis of your new home. We are preparing to put your dream home together, and together we are going to lay out the journey so that the home is built the way that you want it. We include all the details on the plans instead of leaving things up to chance with a one-size-fits-all solution.

Here’s what happens during the designing process:

1. Decide on a piece of land/lot
2. Discuss house ideas and taste- meeting in person
3. Meet with our construction consultant/builder and grader at the land/lot- meeting in person
4. Discuss a very general budget
5. Have “Plans” created
6. Review plans, discuss specifications and redlines- meeting in person
7. Discuss home budget, allowances, and specifications-meeting in person. This is generally 4 to 6 weeks after step 6

In short, we’re thorough. We’ll build a home at least nine times on paper before we’ll move one shovel of dirt.

Step 6, for us, is the most important. We are now putting together a project that we think is going to work the best to give you exactly what you want. We do not want to take chances. Together, we review the project and make sure that we have done right by your vision before that first shovel of dirt is thrown.

The Construction

We work diligently with our trades and suppliers before construction starts to ensure that there aren’t inefficiencies. We provide them with work orders, a scope of work, site conditions and full set of plans. And we review each phase to make sure that those documents are being conformed to.

Before you move into the home, it’s been thoroughly detailed. We clean, vacuum, wash the windows and make sure that nothing needs fixing.

The Orientation

Some builders might just hand you the keys and say “See you later!”, but that isn’t how we work. We’ll give you a new home orientation to make sure that you’re comfortable with how the home functions, where the breaker panel and water heater are. We’ll even show you the quirks of the home, like how to change the water heater temperature despite the government’s suggestion that you shouldn’t know how. By the time we hand over the keys, you’ll know exactly how your home functions and what you can expect.
