Conversation
We meet at your lot. You tell us what you want to build; we tell you what it takes. If your budget and your drawings do not agree with each other yet, you hear that in the first meeting rather than three months in.
Process
Five stages. You always know which one you are in.
Most build problems are communication problems. This is the sequence we follow and what you should expect from us at each point.
Plans & budget
Whether you bring an architect's set or start from a plan we help you develop, every drawing gets reviewed against a real cost breakdown. Allowances for flooring, tile, fixtures, and appliances are written down with numbers attached so nothing gets discovered later.
Permits & site work
We handle county submittals, inspections, utilities, and the site prep that follows: clearing, grading, footings, and foundation. You get the schedule and the inspection milestones in writing.
Structure & systems
Framing, roof, windows, then mechanical, electrical, and plumbing rough-ins, insulation, and drywall. This is the stage where selections need to be locked, and we will tell you exactly when each decision is due.
Finishes & walkthrough
Trim, cabinetry, stairs, paint, flooring, tile, and fixtures — the part we came from. We walk the house with you, build the punch list together, and close it out before you move in rather than after.
The schedule is not a promise that nothing will go wrong. It is a promise that you will hear about it from us first.
Common questions
Do we need plans before contacting you?
No. Plenty of owners come to us with a lot and a rough idea. We can build from plans you already own, adapt a plan set you have purchased, or point you toward an architect or designer.
You can also choose from house plans we already own and have built before — a faster, more predictable path, since the drawings are proven and we know what they cost to build.
Do you build on our land or provide lots?
Either one. Most of our clients already hold the land, but we also own lots of our own and can build for you on one of them — ask us what is currently available.
If you are still searching, we are glad to look at candidate lots with you before you buy — grading, access, and utilities can change a budget more than any finish selection.
How many houses do you take at once?
A small number, deliberately. It is the only way the owners of the company can be on every site regularly instead of managing from a truck between eleven jobs.
Who does the finish work?
Our own crew. Trim, millwork, cabinetry, and stair details are what the company was built on and they are not handed off to whoever is available that week.
