FAQs

How do I start the process?

The best place to kick things off is by meeting with us. We recommend sitting down together right from the start so we can guide you through the design process—whether you’ve got an architect already or not. That way, we can help shape your vision, value-engineer to keep costs in check, and set clear expectations for the whole journey. It’s all about making sure we’re on the same page from day one.

How do I choose the right lot for my home?

Great question! It depends on your lifestyle—think about views, privacy, proximity to amenities, and utilities. We can scout lots with you, assess the terrain and utilities, and make sure it fits your design and budget.

How long will it take to build my home?

The timeline depends on the size, complexity, and weather conditions, but a typical custom home takes anywhere from 10 to 12 months from groundbreaking to move-in. We’ll give you a detailed schedule once we finalize the plans and permits.

What does the process look like?

It all starts with a sit-down where we listen to your ideas, goals, and budget. From there, we dive into design, working with you (and your architect if you’ve got one) to sketch out plans that fit your vision. Once we’ve got the design locked in, we handle permits and begin pricing your final design. Then it’s construction time—our team breaks ground and keeps you in the loop with regular updates. You can be as involved as you want!
