Question 1

How involved will I be in the building process?

Accepted Answer

That's up to you. We can guide you through every major decision while handling the details behind the scenes. Our goal is to keep you informed and involved without making the process overwhelming.

Question 2

Can you build from my own plans?

Accepted Answer

Yes. If you already have architectural plans, we can review them and determine how we can bring your plans to life. We can also work with you and your architect or help connect you with design professionals when needed.

Question 3

Can you help me choose finishes and materials?

Accepted Answer

Yes. From flooring, countertops, cabinets, and lighting to plumbing fixtures, paint colors, and exterior materials, we can help connect you with a local designer that will guide you through your selections and make sure everything works together cohesively.

Question 4

How much does it cost to build a custom home?

Accepted Answer

The cost depends on factors such as the size and design of the home, location, site conditions, materials, finishes, and level of customization. Once we understand your goals and project requirements, we can provide a more accurate estimate.

Question 5

How do I establish a budget for my custom home?

Accepted Answer

We recommend establishing your overall budget early in the process. We'll help you understand how your budget relates to the home's size, design, finishes, site work, and other project costs so we can develop a realistic plan.

Question 6

Will I know how much my home will cost before construction begins?

Accepted Answer

We work to provide as much clarity and detail as possible before construction begins. Your plans, specifications, selections, allowances, and agreed-upon scope all play an important role in establishing the project cost.

Question 7

Is there a cost for pre-construction?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Pre-construction is a professional service and requires an upfront fee. This allows us to dedicate the time and resources needed to properly evaluate your project, coordinate the necessary professionals, and develop an accurate cost to build.

Question 8

What happens after I decide to build with you?

Accepted Answer

We'll start by learning about your goals, budget, property, and vision. From there, we'll work through design and planning, finalize selections and specifications, establish the project scope, obtain necessary approvals, and prepare for construction.

Question 9

Do you handle permits and inspections?

Accepted Answer

We can coordinate the permitting and inspection process as part of your project, depending on the scope of work and local requirements.

Question 10

How will I know what is happening during construction?

Accepted Answer

Communication is an important part of our process. We'll keep you updated on progress, upcoming decisions, selections, milestones, and any issues that need your attention.

Question 11

Can I make changes after construction has started?

Accepted Answer

Changes may be possible, but they can affect the cost and schedule of your project. We encourage clients to finalize as many decisions as possible before construction begins to help keep the project on track.

Question 12

Do you use subcontractors?

Accepted Answer

Like most professional builders, we work with a network of trusted trade partners and subcontractors. We carefully coordinate their work and remain responsible for managing the overall construction process.

Question 13

Do you build on land I already own?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We can evaluate your property and help determine what needs to be considered before construction, including access, utilities, grading, drainage, setbacks, and other site-specific requirements.

Question 14

Can you help me find a lot or property?

Accepted Answer

Depending on your project and location, we may be able to help you evaluate potential properties or connect you with professionals who can assist with land acquisition.

Question 15

What happens if my lot has challenging site conditions?

Accepted Answer

Every property is different. Slopes, soil conditions, drainage, trees, utilities, access, and other factors can affect the design and construction process. We evaluate these considerations early so we can plan appropriately.

Question 16

How do you ensure quality during construction?

Quality starts with careful planning and continues throughout construction. We coordinate qualified trades, monitor the work at each stage, and address issues as they arise to ensure the finished home meets our standards and the agreed-upon specifications.

How do I get started?
