Step 3: Site Selection and Preparation
Your home's location impacts design, cost, and lifestyle. Once you've selected your lot, our team evaluates the site to determine grading, drainage, orientation, and soil conditions.
We ensure that your home fits beautifully with the landscape while maximizing views, sunlight, and energy efficiency.
Step 4: Designing Your Dream Home
Work with architects and designers to create a custom floor plan that meets your lifestyle and aesthetic preferences.
Important design considerations include:
- Square footage
- Room layout and flow
- Architectural style
- Energy-efficient features
- Outdoor spaces
We help you personalize every detail, whether you’re inspired by homes like Noya Point or envisioning something entirely unique.
Step 5: Securing Permits and Finalizing Plans
Before construction can begin, permits and approvals must be secured. Our team handles these details to ensure compliance with local building codes and zoning regulations.
Simultaneously, we’ll finalize your home’s specifications, including materials, finishes, fixtures, and systems.
Step 6: Construction Phase
Foundation and Framing
The foundation is poured, and framing begins to shape your home’s structure. This step includes building walls, floors, and roof systems.
Plumbing, Electrical, and HVAC
Once the frame is complete, our skilled teams install critical systems such as plumbing, electrical wiring, and HVAC.
Interior and Exterior Finishes
This stage brings your home to life with insulation, drywall, flooring, cabinetry, countertops, siding, roofing, and more.
If you love high-end finishes like marble countertops and custom woodwork, this is where your unique style shines.
Step 7: Quality Control and Inspections
Throughout construction, we conduct rigorous quality checks and ensure that all work meets building codes and your expectations. Multiple inspections guarantee that safety and craftsmanship remain a priority.
Step 8: Final Walkthrough and Move-In
Before handing over the keys, we walk you through your new home, address any final adjustments, and ensure everything is perfect. We take pride in delivering custom homes that exceed expectations.
You can now begin enjoying the beautiful custom space designed just for you.
