Your Project

Ever walk through a home and feel like the form and function of the home doesn’t make sense? Are you tired of seeing homes that all look the same? You have a choice so why not make the home you build as good as it can be? We have the expertise to make your home special, a final product that will feature a cohesive design and an incomparable curb appeal.

During construction we offer a concierge-level service, a close partnership where we provide design counsel as well as advice on expenditures when it comes to making choices for your home. Not sure what products are right for your needs? Through continued research, education and industry relationships we are on top of the newest/best technologies and design techniques in residential construction and will bring you such options throughout construction. As part of our job we work tirelessly to get you the best prices on the products you hope to see in your home so you can maximize your investment.

Finally, we do not cut corners. While there are most definitely times to seek cost effective choices we will not make any compromises to structural integrity just to save a dollar. We believe in long lasting materials and practices, and in that spirit we only employ the best subcontractor and supplier partners to insure your home is a quality, attractive and well-built addition to that special property of yours.

The bottom line is that we care about every project we do and as part of that we want to make your home one of a kind. If this is what you seek, you have come to the right place

Getting Started

The Lot Selection & Design Phase

Ideally, we get to start with you from the beginning. Whether we participate with you in the development of your home design or we act as a consultant to give you context to costs as your design professional creates the perfect plan, we prefer to be involved as early as possible so we can make sure you have a good awareness to the approximate budget, site factors & other processes required (financing, permitting, etc). This also allows us to have ample time to put your project into our schedule.

We prefer to have an initial consultation to get to know you as well as your goals and priorities for your future home. We also would like to go through your inspiration photos and hear your concerns about the entire process of building a custom home so we can advise accordingly. This vital time spent getting to know each other is a paramount part of the process to see if we are a fit for each other.

Once this initial consult goes well then we like to do a site assessment if property has already been acquired. We would focus on developing the parcel with consideration on topography, natural light, privacy and views and would like to hear your thoughts and/or your designer’s thoughts, if applicable. We would also want to locate utilities or talk through the requirements of developing the parcel.

More often than not we accompany clients to visit potential parcels for their future home, and as soon as we understand what you are looking for we will do what we can to help you locate the site for your future home.

Once we have the property, a site assessment completed and a good understanding for what you want in your home (and what you’d like it to look like) we will partner with you and your design professional to offer our expertise and insight. As part of this, we will keep you educated on the financial ramifications of each part of the design.

The Post-Design Planning

We believe in bidding out our homes based on a scope that is tailored for what you want in the home. We will have a ‘scope development’ meeting so we can make sure each amenity, design element and technology you desire is planned for. From there, we will develop a working budget and once we get through the initial bidding process we will host a follow up meeting to discuss overall cost for the scope. At this meeting we will discuss any additions, alterations or compromises after we meet to make sure the package we put together for you is the best balance of meeting both your design and financial aspirations and will put together the final budget/specs accordingly.
