Our Custom Home Building Process
Much like our design-and-build model, our new construction process is transparent and collaborative from day one. We have refined our residential construction process to minimize stress and maximize results.
Whether you are hands-on or hands-off, our team supports you through every step, including:
STEP #1: Initial Consultation & Site Evaluation
The initial consultation is one of the most important steps of our new construction process. When we first meet to discuss your project, we will work to understand your goals for building a new house.
You may need help selecting a lot to build on, or you already have a piece of property purchased. Your home’s size, location, and regulatory constraints must be considered, among other things.
A further site evaluation can help us determine:
- Lot size, shape, and potential construction setbacks
- Elevation and flood zone implications
- Zoning requirements
- Orientation and views
- Access and stormwater considerations
Our experience with local municipalities helps us anticipate permitting, ARB approvals, and utility connections, saving you time and stress from doing so without the help of an expert.
Step #2: Design, Pre-Construction Planning & Permitting
When planning your new construction home, the design phase is one of the most exciting. When we understand the goals and implications of your selected lot, we can assist with everything from concept to coordination.
Our team can walk with you through:
- Architectural design or plan review
- Floorplan selection
- 3D rendering and visualization
- Engineering assessments (structural, septic, elevation, etc.)
- Permit planning (local zoning, building, CAMA, etc.)
- Elevation certificates for FEMA flood zones
- Optimizing natural light and airflow
- Timeline and budget alignment
- Trade permits for electrical, mechanical & plumbing
While we offer access to curated luxury plans, you can also choose to work from your own blueprints.
STEP #3: Construction Begins
As your home build moves from the design into the construction phase, our team works to manage all trades, material selection, and inspections. We apply the highest standards in structural integrity, waterproofing, and coastal durability by using:
- Salt-treated plywood (not OSB) for wall and high-wind rated roof materials
- Hurricane-ready framing methods
- Advanced waterproofing and structural techniques
- Energy-efficient HVAC, windows, and insulation
- Glued and nailed gussets between ceiling joists and rafters
- Foundation systems engineered for flood compliance
Throughout the process, we’ll keep you updated with construction photos, emails, and site visit opportunities that are especially helpful if you are building remotely.
STEP #4: Final Walkthrough & Move-In Support
We believe the final phase of new home construction, the final walkthrough, is just as important as our initial consultation. We walk through every room, inspect every system, and ensure the quality of your home meets our highest standards, and yours.
We are also here long after move-in to help you maintain and protect your home for the future.
