  • What is the process for building a custom home with your company?

    Our custom home building process is comprehensive and client-focused. We start with an in-depth consultation to understand your requirements, preferences, and budget constraints. Following this, we move into the design and planning phase, assisting you with floor plan finalization, material selection, and permit acquisition. During construction, we maintain regular communication, keeping you informed at each stage from foundation laying to final touches. The process concludes with a thorough walkthrough and quality check before we hand over your new custom home.
  • How long does it typically take to build a custom home?

    The duration of a custom home build varies based on factors such as size, complexity, location, weather conditions, and material availability. Typically, the entire process spans 8 to 14 months. The design phase usually requires 1-3 months, permitting takes 1-2 months, and the actual construction phase lasts 6-10 months. We provide a detailed timeline at the project's onset and keep you updated on progress throughout the build.
  • Do you help with designing the floor plan, or do I need an architect?

    We offer comprehensive design assistance, eliminating the need for you to engage an architect independently. Our team collaborates with experienced architects and designers to create custom floor plans that align with your lifestyle, preferences, and property specifications. If you already have architectural plans or a preferred designer, we're fully equipped to work with those as well. Our primary focus is ensuring the design is feasible, functional, and within your budget parameters.
  • Can I make changes to the design during construction?

    Design modifications during construction are possible, although they may impact the project timeline and budget. We understand that new ideas may arise as you see your home taking shape. Any requested changes are processed through a formal 'change order' procedure, where we document the specifics, cost implications, and schedule adjustments before implementation. Our aim is to deliver a home that truly meets your expectations, while avoiding unexpected surprises.
  • What areas do you serve for custom home building?

    Our custom home building services extend throughout the region, including Polk County, GA and surrounding areas. If you're uncertain whether your property falls within our service area, please contact our team. We're happy to verify availability or discuss special arrangements if needed.
  • What is included in your standard building package?

    Our standard building package is comprehensive, encompassing site preparation, foundation work, framing, roofing, plumbing, electrical systems, HVAC installation, insulation, drywall, flooring, cabinetry, countertops, and interior/exterior finishes. We utilize high-quality materials, energy-efficient systems, and modern construction techniques. A detailed list of inclusions and available upgrades will be provided during your initial consultation.
  • Do you offer financing options or work with lenders?

    While we don't provide direct financing, we have established partnerships with reputable lenders specializing in construction loans and custom home financing. We can guide you through the process, explain construction-to-permanent loan options, and connect you with lenders offering competitive rates. If you have a preferred lender, we're more than willing to coordinate with them as well.
  • How do you ensure quality and compliance with local building codes?

    We implement rigorous quality control procedures throughout the construction process. Our team stays informed about all local building codes, permitting requirements, and safety regulations. We exclusively work with experienced, licensed subcontractors and conduct regular inspections during the build. Prior to handover, we perform a final quality assessment to ensure all aspects of the home meet or exceed industry standards.
  • Can you build on land that I already own?

    Yes, we can construct on land you already own or are in the process of purchasing. Our team can assess your property for buildability, considering factors such as zoning requirements, soil conditions, utilities, and site preparation needs. If you're still in the process of finding land, we can connect you with local real estate professionals to assist in your search.
  • What sets your company apart from other custom home builders?

    Our company distinguishes itself through our emphasis on craftsmanship, clear communication, and a truly personalized building experience. Unlike production builders, we create homes specifically tailored to each client's unique requirements. Our transparent processes, established partnerships, and hands-on project management ensure homes are built with integrity and meticulous attention to detail. We approach every project as if we were building our own home, ensuring the highest standards of quality and client satisfaction.
