A custom home looks like a mystery from the outside. It is really a sequence, and knowing the order makes every decision easier.

Planning Comes First

Every build starts with the lot and the family. We walk the site, talk through how you live and sketch a plan, then refine it until the floor plan, the exterior and the schedule make sense together.

Permits and engineering follow the plan, and they take time, so early decisions pay off.

From Dirt to Dry-In

Site work and the foundation come first, then framing, the roof and the windows. Once the house is closed in from the weather, it is called dried-in, and the interior work can begin without rain getting in the way.

Inspections happen at key points, and we schedule the next trade only after the last one passes.

Systems, Finishes and Walkthrough

Electrical, plumbing and HVAC go in before insulation and drywall. Then come paint, trim, cabinets, flooring and fixtures, in an order that protects the finished surfaces.

We finish with a careful walkthrough and a punch list, so small details get fixed before you move in.
