YOUR PROJECT, STEP BY STEP

From the first idea
to a place of your own.

Three clear phases. A team to guide the details. And a better sense of what comes next.

Early planning range

6–9 months

Approximately, from planning kickoff through construction.

Phase 01 · About 30 days

A clear direction, before we build.

Your initial consultation and design are at no cost. We start with your property and the way you want to live, then develop the design direction, project scope and a more informed budget.

What you receive

A clearer picture of the design, scope, budget and property questions to resolve before moving forward.

Your next step

Share your property address, goals, preferred plan and budget. Identify the features and finishes that matter most to you.

Payments begin when you choose to move forward with an agreement, with a 10% initial deposit. The next phase begins after your agreement and scope are in place.

Phase 02 · About 60–90 days

The right preparation for your property.

With your agreement in place, we coordinate the permit package and work through the local review process. Required documents and studies depend on your property and agreed scope.

What you receive

Updates on the permit package, review progress and any decisions or additional information needed from you.

Your next step

Provide requested property records and timely approvals. Keep design changes coordinated so the permit documents stay aligned.

The reviewing authority determines approval and timing. Construction depends on required approvals and project readiness.

Phase 03 · About 3–5 months

Watch your next chapter take shape.

Our builders and project managers coordinate the work, inspections and finish details. You receive a construction schedule and project updates through Buildertrend as the work progresses.

What you receive

A construction schedule, progress updates and visibility into upcoming decisions. Progress payments follow the milestones in your agreement.

Your next step

Finalize selections on schedule, respond to project questions and arrange progress payments at the agreed milestones.

The finish date is confirmed through the project schedule as site conditions, selections, inspections and work progress become clear.

These are early estimates. Your property, scope, permit review and selections shape the actual schedule.
