Our Custom Home Building Process
Building your custom dream home can be an enjoyable process when you work with a builder who listens to your ideas and gives expert guidance through each phase.

Your new home build or remodel begins with a design consultation to discuss your vision for your ideal home. We’ll review your wishlist, ideas, and budget to develop a preliminary design plan.
Bring your own design or choose from our library. Drawing from our expertise in constructing various home styles, we’ll help you design your home, perfectly tailored to your aesthetic and lifestyle.
Visualize your new home, addition or remodeling project with our computer-generated plans. Our staff can make changes to your plan while you are in our office, so you can see how design changes would affect the overall project. Try out different design ideas before committing to a final plan.
Create a Materials and Finishes Selection Sheet
With the design complete, we’ll develop a detailed selection sheet for you to choose exterior materials, interior finishes, flooring, cabinets, countertops, lighting, appliances, bath fixtures, and more. This meticulously customized list allows you to handpick everything to your personal tastes so the end result is a home tailor-made for your family.
While we provide guidance based on our decades of building and remodeling, we know this is your dream home. We will recommend products, but we are not affiliated with any supplier.
