Our Building Process

Step One

Getting Acquainted

The first step is to meet and get acquainted. The relationship between the builder and homeowner is crucial for a successful and enjoyable building process. During this meeting, we will discuss your ideas and wishes to turn your dreams into reality. As a custom builder, I ensure that your home is original and tailored to your lifestyle.

  • Client Consultation:

    Understanding your vision and expectations.

  • Custom Design:

    Crafting a unique home that exceeds your expectations.

  • Relationship Building:

    Ensuring open communication and a stress-free experience.

Step Two

Site Visit and Planning

Next, we visit the property to consider all aspects, including exposures and views, to best accommodate your new house. I will take your ideas and requests to create a preliminary floor plan for your review. Once the floor plan is finalized, I will draft a set of plans to submit for bids by subcontractors. There is no cost for the initial sketch or consultation.

  • Property Assessment:

    Evaluating the site for optimal design and placement.

  • Preliminary Sketch:

    Creating an initial floor plan based on your input.

  • Finalized Plans:

    Drafting detailed plans for subcontractor bids.

Step Three

Transparent Budgeting and Construction

You will receive all copies of invoices for materials and labor for your review and records. This transparency gives you the flexibility to manage costs according to your preferences. Generally, the cost for a fully upgraded house can be estimated by multiplying $130.00 per total square foot plus my fixed fee, which depends on the project's complexity.

  • Transparent Invoicing:

    Providing detailed records for all expenses.

  • Flexible Budgeting:

    Allowing you to allocate funds based on your priorities.

  • Direct Partnership:

    Working closely with me throughout the 6 to 10-month building process.
