Steps to Building Your Dream Home
From picking out the perfect piece of land to watching your vision come to life to being able to slide your key into the lock and start living in a home that represents your taste, style, and needs, the process is an exciting one. The following outline will help familiarize you with the steps along the way.
Design Your Floorplan!
This is when the fun begins! Come prepared with your home vision. Things to consider:

Make Plans Official
Once the design decisions are made, we will be able to price the home. Once you’re happy with it, you’ll sign your purchase agreement.
​
Tip: If the price is beyond your budget, easy edits can often make the difference. We should be able to recommend material, architectural, or floorplan changes to get you where you need to be.
At this point, make sure you've secured financing. If you need help, we're here to help with suggestions.
Pick Finishes
The bulk of decisions about what your home will be made during the design step, but now you get to make final finish and fixture choices for everything from countertops to flooring to kitchen and hardware. For many people, this is the best part of the whole process. If you’re not one of them, we're here to help guide your choices.
Permits and the Build!
It’s the day you’ve been waiting for! From the time the first scoop of dirt is scooped out of the ground, it will be a whirlwind of activity. You can expect several milestones:
Site preparation
Foundation and framing
Installation of the mechanicals (your heating and cooling, plumbing, and electric), insulation and drywall
Flooring and Paint—Finishing touches like cabinets and trim are also going in.
