Onsite Building Process

Planning & Design is where  where you hire your building partner, select a lot, and finalize architectural plans. It seems like a long time to plan, but it is uber important not to rush—this is when every detail is finalized to avoid costly changes later. Once permits are secured, your building partner prepares the work schedule and holds a Pre-Construction Meeting with you to confirm selections, review the home’s placement on your lot, and answer any questions before construction officially begins.

 As the homeowner, your role is to secure financing for the project, ensuring that the necessary funds are in place. From there, your building partner manages the approval process, obtaining all required permits and documentation to move the project forward. Once the permit is officially issued, construction can begin—marking the exciting transition from planning to bringing your vision to life. 

The dry-in process begins with site excavation and foundation work, typically taking two to four weeks. During this stage, the land is prepared, the building pad or concrete stilts are set, and any required underground plumbing and electrical systems are installed, forming the essential groundwork for your home. 

From there, the framing stage unfolds over six to eight weeks, bringing your vision to life as the walls, roof, windows, and exterior doors are installed. This is often one of the most exciting moments in the journey, as your home transforms from plans on paper into a physical structure you can see taking shape. 

During this stage, your home begins to take on the vital systems that make it functional and comfortable. Plumbing, electrical, and HVAC installations are carefully coordinated to keep the project moving efficiently. This is when the behind-the-wall essentials—pipes, wiring, ducts, and vents—are put into place, laying the groundwork for the everyday convenience and comfort of your home. 

Plumbing drops, electrical outlets and switch locations are also finalized and installed. You should do walk throughs with your building partner through this portion of the build. You should be confirming that each plumbing drop, outlet, and switch is exactly where you want it. Taking the time now to double-check placement ensures your home will be both practical and personalized, minimizing the need for changes once the finishing stages begin.

The next stage is insulation and drywall, where your home truly begins to take shape. With walls defined and rooms enclosed, the layout becomes clear, giving you the first real sense of how your spaces will feel once completed. 

  The exterior finishing stage is where your custom home achieves its architectural distinction and timeless curb appeal. Premium materials such as natural stone, handcrafted stucco, custom millwork, and designer roofing are meticulously applied to create a façade of elegance and durability. Refined details—ornamental railings, tailored shutters, elegant lighting, and architectural accents—add character and sophistication, ensuring the home is as striking from the outside as it is within. This stage is where your residence takes on its signature presence, blending artistry and craftsmanship to create an exterior that is both enduring and extraordinary.

The interior finishing stage is where elegance and craftsmanship converge, transforming a custom home into a refined living experience. Every element—hand-selected cabinetry, tailored countertops, exquisite flooring, designer lighting, and custom millwork—is installed with meticulous care. Rich textures, timeless materials, and tailored details create a sense of harmony and sophistication throughout each room. This is the stage where your vision evolves into a curated masterpiece, with finishes that not only elevate the beauty of the home but also reflect your unique lifestyle and taste. The result is a truly tailored interior that embodies comfort, luxury, and lasting distinction.

The commissioning, occupancy, and closeout phase is the grand finale of your custom home journey—a seamless transition from vision to reality. Every system is meticulously tested for performance, efficiency, and precision, ensuring your residence functions flawlessly. A personalized walkthrough allows you to experience each space while final refinements are confirmed to perfection. 

At handover, you receive not only the keys but also a comprehensive portfolio of warranties, manuals, and documentation—delivered with the same care and elegance as the home itself. This is a true white-glove moment, marking the beginning of life within a residence crafted exclusively for you, where every detail reflects timeless luxury and enduring quality.
