Custom Built Homes

What Is a Custom-Built Home?
A custom-built home is a one-of-a-kind home designed and constructed specifically for you. Unlike pre-designed modular or pre-built homes, a custom home is created entirely from scratch or heavily modified from an existing plan to match your exact needs, preferences, lifestyle, and budget.

Every detail is chosen by you:

• Floor plan
• Room layout & size
• Exterior design
• Roofing & siding materials
• Kitchen & bath design
• Flooring, lighting, fixtures
• Energy-efficiency features
• Garage, porches, decks, and more

Custom homes give you the highest level of flexibility and personalization. If you can imagine it, we can help you design and build it.

The Custom Home Building Process

1. Initial Consultation

• We meet to discuss your vision, budget, timeline, and essential features.

• You can bring inspirational photos, sketches, or simply talk through ideas.

2. Lot Evaluation

If you already own land, we visit the site to review:

• Access and topography
• Utility availability
• Setbacks and zoning rules
• Soil conditions

If you’re still searching for land, we can help guide you.

3. Designing Your Home

This is where your ideas turn into a plan:

• We create a custom floor plan or modify an existing one.
• You choose exterior styles and interior layouts.
• We use design software to show layouts, elevations, and 3D views.
• Your home becomes fully personalized before construction even begins.

4. Pricing & Contract

Once the design is finalized, we prepare a detailed estimate covering:

• Materials
• Labor
• Permits
• Site work
• Custom features

When everything is approved, we move into a construction contract.

5. Permits & Engineering

We handle:

• Construction drawings
• Engineering requirements
• Local and state permitting
• Utility approvals

Permitting time varies by municipality, but we manage the entire process for you.

6. Site Preparation & Foundation

Before vertical construction begins, we:

• Clear and grade the land
• Install driveway access
• Run utilities
• Dig and pour the foundation (crawlspace or full basement)

This step lays the groundwork for everything that follows.

7. Home Construction

Our crew builds your home from the ground up:

• Framing
• Roofing
• Windows & doors
• Electrical, plumbing & HVAC
• Insulation
• Drywall
• Interior and exterior finishes
• Cabinetry, flooring, trim & fixtures

You’ll receive regular updates, walkthroughs, and progress photos.

8. Interior Selections

During construction, you finalize your finishes:

• Cabinets & countertops
• Flooring
• Tile
• Paint colors
• Lighting & hardware
• Exterior details

We guide you through each choice to help keep the design cohesive and within budget.

9. Inspections

Throughout construction, your home undergoes inspections for:

• Code compliance
• Structural integrity
• Safety
• Mechanical systems

We coordinate all inspections and handle any required adjustments.

10. Final Walkthrough

Once construction is complete:

• We walk through the home with you
• Create a final punch list (small adjustments or touchups)
• Ensure every detail meets our standards and yours

11. Move-In & Warranty

• When inspections are complete and the Certificate of Occupancy is issued, you’re ready to move in. We provide warranty information, maintenance tips, and ongoing support
