We know every dollar counts, which is why we work with you to help create a home you love, and stay within your budget.

This will be our official start to working together, and gets your project on the calendar. We will begin to engage the teams you have selected to begin the process of making your dream home a reality.

#6 SOLIDIFY THE BUDGET

With blueprints and interior design selections complete, your project goes out to bid by our expert subcontractors.

Typically there is very little adjustment needed, however this can allow us to make additions or cuts to the plans inorder to ensure happy clients!

Some sites require clearing or site prep before anything can happen. Soil tests, survey, grading and drainage plans, as well as permits are just a few of the things that need to be addressed before construction begins. Our experienced consultants will provide you with the information needed to understand the entire process and each phase of construction.
