Why it works…

Essential to the concept of a “comprehensive” building company is both our process and highly trained staff. Every step of building your home is carefully planned and discussed prior to the construction process. This gives you the opportunity to not only better understand how your home will proceed but also to provide us with valuable input about what you truly want and expect from your completed home. We are dedicated to building your home with both the finest attention to detail and workmanship along with a commitment to great service and exceptional value for money.
Early Design Selection:
Initial floorplan selections and review. Site analysis for suitability and fit of potential floorplans to selected site. Discussions of design parameters, timeframe and budget for realistic expectations. Initial meetings with interior designers to establish baseline finish preferences and details for budgeting.
Design Process:
Detailed meetings and review of selected floorplan with all key staff members. Complete topographical and tree survey for initial home placement and landscape planning. Detailed discussions about construction standards, finishes, mechanical and electrical systems. Revision of floorplan as needed to best match final site and preferences. Submission of initial plan for ARB conformity and review. Full review of detailed costs, budget line items and options. Interior design fit and finish selections and suggestions.
Final Design Package and Contract Review:
Complete review of final plans and budget with subcontractor quotes and specifications. Final design package with interior finish selections and samples along with renderings and schematics. Submission of floorplan and landscape plan to ARB for approval. Final clarification of all contract details and construction schedule. Approval of final estimated budget.

During Construction:
Our planning and involvement doesn’t end as construction starts it only increases. Your dedicated on-site superintendent will oversee all the aspects of your new home; from arranging sub-contractor schedules, updating financial summaries, resolving weather and scheduling issues and all the many other details. We encourage our clients to visit their home while under construction and ask questions, clarify details and keep providing us with valuable feedback.

As your home nears completion, design considerations continue but begin to really focus on interior spaces and fine details. Our staff interior designers will work closely with you to select and coordinate the final finishes and products to bring out the very best in your new home.
Construction Completed:
For most building companies this would be the end of the story, we hope it is only the beginning of our relationship with you and your home. As your new home is completed we will join you for a detailed walk-through explaining all the features and maintenance requirements of your new home. A final “punch list” is prepared for any last details that need attention and we will complete it promptly. Your home includes not only a full warranty but also our word that it will exceed your expectations for years to come.

Unlike many of the large-scale builders today, we take pride in the fact that we live and work in the same communities as many of our clients. We look forward to seeing you in the neighborhood, we hope you’ll stop by our upcoming open houses and events to say hello and give us an update. In the years to come we hope you’ll call us when you’re ready for additions or renovations to your home or refer us to your friends and family who are looking for a new home. Our door is always open.
