A custom home moves from goals and lot evaluation to design, a detailed budget, permitting, construction, inspections, final walkthrough, and warranty. Decisions made early affect cost and schedule later.

1. Goals and homesite
Discuss the rooms you need, daily routines, accessibility, style, timing, and a budget range. Walk the lot to assess slope, access, drainage, trees, views, utilities, and neighborhood restrictions. This information shapes where the house can sit and what the plan can reasonably include.
2. Plans, estimate, and approvals
Adapt a plan or develop a design for the site. Coordinate engineering and selections as the estimate becomes more specific. Confirm permit jurisdiction and any required architectural review before setting a construction start date. Ask for a written scope and clear change-order process.
3. Construction and handover
Site preparation and foundation work precede framing, rough systems, insulation, finishes, and exterior work. Inspections and owner decisions occur throughout. At the end, review the punch list, operating information, and warranty process together. Actual timing depends on design readiness, permits, site conditions, weather, and material availability.
