Our 7-Step Process
Building a new home is exciting! We take great pride in making the process smooth, easy, and pleasant. Building a home is different from other manufacturing processes. You have the opportunity to enjoy observing the construction of your home as the products you purchase are created. And because of the time required for the various stages of construction, you have many opportunities to view your home as it is getting built, ask questions, and find out more details. We are here to walk you through the home-building process every step of the way and offer helpful insights that give you confidence and a sense of anticipation.
Our success in personalizing your home depends on effective and timely communication of your choices. We make sure you understand how your home is designed, selections made, and how options come together to create “The Home of Your Dreams”. To that end, we use cutting-edge technology to keep you informed and share important project details. From the convenience of your mobile device, you can access all of your project information from anywhere with the ability to interact seamlessly throughout the process, such as the following few examples:
- Project Activities: Monitor the progress schedule and view pictures of your home during construction.
- Specs and Selections: View project specifications, your available options, and the selections you already made. Make new selections of fixtures, finishes, colors, etc. Submit and approve change requests. All online with a click.
- Financials: View original and current budget, payments made, remaining balance, and make payments online.

STEP 1: SITE SELECTION
Whether you already own the land, have a neighborhood in mind, select one of our lots, or need our team to find one for you, we have the knowledge to find the ideal site that suits your specifications.
STEP 2: PLAN AND PROPOSE
This is our opportunity to learn all about your vision of your “Dream Home”. We will gather essential information on your design style preferences and requirements to set your budget in creating the master plan. The house-plans design agreement paves the way to start drafting floor plans that specifies the sizes and features of your vision within your budget. We create maximum added value by dedicating sufficient time, resources, and undivided attention to exceed your expectations of creating the ultimate design.
We maintain an extensive collection of interior and exterior photos of homes that we share with you. This makes it easier and more fun to communicate and exchange concepts and ideas. We encourage you to share pictures with certain appointments that you like to see incorporated into your home.
As part of producing your ultimate house plans, we create a 3D-Video of your home’s exterior and a 3D-Video walk-through of the interior, which provides you with a 360-degree virtual tour of every area of the home. You will virtually see your “Dream Home” come to life before we lay a single block!

This is the best part of building your home. Let your personal touch create a design that fits your taste and lifestyle. From light fixtures to appliances, cabinets to countertops and tile work designs, you’ll make it as unique as you are. Your house now becomes your home. Our award-winning design team will assist you every step of the way to create a home that aligns with your design preferences.
We collaborate to make your interior spaces beautiful, functional, and safe by determining your space requirements and selecting decorative features from colors, materials, lighting, outdoor kitchen, wine cellar, swimming pool, dog room, etc. Your imagination is the limit and we are here to assist you to get things right the first time.. in building your very own “Custom Dream Home”.
STEP 4: FINANCING
Building a home as unique as yours requires a unique financing solution. We work closely with financing partners and would be glad to assist you in securing a construction-permanent loan mortgage. We could even cover the land cost. You can choose from a fixed or adjustable-rate loan, the convenience of one-time closing, the ability to lock your interest rate up front, and the assistance of an experienced professional during the construction lending process. It’s fast, easy, and lets you focus on other important things like making material and color selections for your home.

Fate has brought us together to create an amazing home for you. A place to build more beautiful memories. With perfected plans in hand and funds secured we are prepared to get started. The construction agreement cements our commitment to ensure the utmost quality and attention to details. Your initial construction agreement deposit would allow our team to engage architects and engineers, prepare the land, and apply for permits to start turning your dream into reality.
