Design Phase
Your custom home design process will start by uncovering the ideas and visions you have in your head. Our design partner will work through a discovery process to translate everything you envision into a working floor plan.
Using their team’s expertise, they begin moving, tweaking, shifting, and stretching your design as needed to accommodate all of your wants and needs.
Your new home design is not finalized until you are completely satisfied as our design partner will continue to work out any kinks or potential shortcomings until both inside and outside of your home design is exactly how you envisioned.
Construction Phase
At the onset of your home’s construction, we will meet for an informal walk through.
These are intended so that you become familiar with the site, and to offer any suggestions throughout any portion of the multi-stage process.
