The creative process comes from everyone on the project.
The first step is to sit down together and determine what you are looking for. Even before you've hired us -- If you have a location, we will go and scout the site free of charge, and discuss with you the possibilities and potential restrictions for the site based on its location. That includes everything from zoning and environmentally sensitive areas to neighbors and space limitations and more. We can help you take everything into consideration, to make a realistic assessment of the feasibility of the site.
If you're still selecting a builder, we'd be happy to take you out on tours of our current, in-process homes as well as finished homes so you can begin to get a feel for what you're looking for. Everything we do throughout the process will build your confidence in taking on the challenge of building your dream home.
Once you decide that the project will move forward, the real fun begins. At the kickoff of the pre-construction process, we will walk you through every single stage of the project, item by item, to ensure that everyone is on the same page.By this time we have truly gotten to know you as a client. We have learned what you love, and what you care the most about. Our goal is to design and build a home that reflects your personality. A home where every single square inch reflects exactly what you want. It is in this context that we feel we give a whole new meaning to the idea of a custom home. This is truly meant to be for you.
We then discuss the price of the project openly and honestly. We embrace a culture of full disclosure – and will work with you to separately evaluate the price per square foot, the separate cost of labor, and the cost of specific finishing details. Every aspect of your budget is broken out to help you make an educated decision about the kind of home you're building and be confident it will fit within your budget.
Why do we break down every item in the budget? It's to help guide you toward your desired price point by providing you with every possible option, everything from economical choices to luxury items. Refining your budget and wish list really is an iterative and collaborative process and we'll stick with you and your financial institution for as long as it takes to get it right.
