8 steps to building your new home:

1. Get Pre-approved

   Pre-approval is a guarantee from the lender for a specified loan amount. Getting pre-approved will assist you in the financial planning of your new home.

2. Initial Consultation

   The objective of our free initial consultation is to determine your needs, wants and style. We accomplish this with a questionnaire that enables us to understand more about you and the new home you will be building. We analyze your budget and your ideas to see if they coincide. We offer suggestions based upon your input to help move things toward your scheduled goal.

3. Site Inspection

   If you have a building site already secured we can meet on the land to determine orientation, elevations, views, access and utility accessibility. There is no charge for this inspection. If you don't have a building lot, we can help you evaluate locations based on your lifestyle and personal preferences.

4. Floor Plans

   Now that you have the information from the first three steps, you are ready to choose your floor plan and specify interior and exterior finishes.

5. Preliminary Estimate

   From the schematics and your input we can now arrive at a reasonably accurate preliminary estimate on the cost of building your new home

6. Final Plan Design

   We finalized complete plans and specifications required for permitting and all phases of construction. During this time we work closely with you to refine your specific choices which personalize your house. These choices include size, type and location of plumbing and electrical fixtures, windows, and doors, interior and exterior finishes, cabinetry, woodwork, trim, etc. This is a critical point to coordinate your desires with your budget. Our expertise will guide you through this important and enjoyable process.

7. Constructive Agreement

   We now have arrived at the drafting of the construction agreement and the commencement of construction. This is the agreement you can take to your lending institution for financing. It includes the detailed plans and specifications, payment and allowance schedules, and provisions to protect both parties. Bear in mind that changes can still be made during the building phase, however, the above processes are designed to eliminate this necessity wherever possible. But we do understand that changes are sometimes unavoidable.

8. Ground Breaking

   The moment has arrived for the ground breaking of your new home! Relax and let our experts make your dreams a reality.
