OUR PROCESS
EVERY HOME IS UNIQUE.
Our step-by-step process is designed to turn your vision into a home built around your lifestyle and budget.
BUDGET
Before getting started, it is important to know your all-in budget (this includes land and the build price) you are looking to stay in. Often times people will ask what the price/sf of a new build is. This is like asking the price/sf of a car. There are so many factors involved, such as square footage, location, utilities/excavation needed, the floorplan, finishes etc. It is best to work with a reasonable price you want to stay in and we will design a home that fits in the budget.
FIND LAND TO BUILD ON
Michelle Bucher is a licensed realtor in the state of Idaho and can help you find the perfect lot to build your home on and make sure it will fit in your “all-in” budget in building your home. There are a lot of unknown costs associated with land and it is important to use a realtor that has expertise in this area. Already have land? We are happy to visit the property and do a land evaluation to see utilities, placement and excavation needed to build your home. Keith is well experienced in developing and we also can help you bring land through a development process with the city if needed.
DESIGN YOUR FLOORPLAN
We work with you and our drafter or architect to design your dream home that fits in your budget. Working with the builder and designer directly through this process gives you assurance that you will love the final product.
INTERIOR DESIGN
We are 100% custom, so choosing finishes can be overwhelming, but rest assured that we help you every step of the way. Michelle takes all clients to choose the finishes and creates visual designs so our clients can visually see how everything comes together.
FINANCING
If you own the land, then most banks require you to do a construction loan.
If this is the case, then we submit the pay apps and draws each month on your behalf. In some cases, we can finance as well. Reach out to us for more information regarding this.
SUBMIT FOR PERMIT
Once the floorplan is final, all finishes are chosen, and the construction loan is closed, we submit for the building permit.
BREAK GROUND
Once the permits are approved it is time to break ground! Keith will do an on site layout for clients prior to breaking ground to get final approval of the house
placement on the lot that is shown on the plans. This allows for any last minute
adjustments to happen before the foundation is poured.
BUILDING
Clients have direct access to the builder throughout the process. We also schedule multiple walk-throughs during the build with our clients to insure the build goes smoothly. We run efficient schedules with our subcontractors and the timing depends on the sized and scope of the project. On average, our builds can take 6-8 months to complete from the day we break ground.
MOVING DAY
After our final walk-through, your dream has become a reality and you have the keys to your brand new home. You can rest assured with our one year warranty.
