Consultation and Design
When starting a custom home project, we are typically not involved in purchasing a property. Once a homeowner has settled on the property and reached out to us, we will schedule a site visit to meet the property owners to discuss budgets and ensure we are a good fit for you. Once we establish the budget, we will then schedule a second meeting with the architect and a civil engineer. The civil engineer will establish where the home can be placed on the lot, and they will also make sure we follow township guidelines.
Site Evaluation and Preparation
When designing a home, you must establish the township requirements for a stormwater management system for the water runoff and the property offsets. That determines the size of the house you can build. We will also have a civil engineer during our second meeting with the homeowner and architect. The civil engineer will establish where the home can be placed on the lot, and they will also make sure we follow township guidelines.
Permitting and Compliance
Every township/county has different requirements, making every project slightly different. From the start, we will meet with the township inspectors and design everything within the code book to ensure your blueprints get approved.
Construction Phase
Once the lengthy design and permitting process is completed, we can finally break ground and install the required stormwater management system. After that is completed, we will frame the house, install the OSB plywood, and install hydrogap water-resistant paper.
Afterward, we will install the windows and roof shingles to ensure you have a sealed-off house so there is no chance water will damage the wood materials. Building homes is a long process, so once the home is sealed, we will have the electricians, plumbers, and HVAC contractors do their portion of the building process.
Then, the entire house will be drywalled, the paint primer will be installed, and we will paint all the ceilings, walls, and trim throughout the home. After painting, we will install your flooring and kitchen cabinets without the risk of getting paint on them! Finally, we are in the home stretch of completing this: installing all the beautiful appliances and touching everything up to ensure everything is up to our high-quality standards.
