The Process.
Initial Meeting
Your experience begins with a personal introduction. We take the time to understand your goals, lifestyle, and wish list for your new home. This first meeting is your chance to ask questions and share your ideas. We’ll walk you through important details like estimated budget, ideal home size, and the features that matter most to you. This is also a great opportunity for us to see your property and show you some of our recently completed homes.
Design Phase
Once we know what you’re looking for, we connect you with a leading local architect to design a home that reflects your needs and preferences. After the initial plans are created, our team works alongside you to begin selecting colors, finishes, and materials that fit your style and your investment goals. These early choices help us prepare an accurate estimate for your custom home.
Bid Phase
With your design in place and preliminary material choices made, we prepare a detailed bid based on your specific plans. Our longstanding relationships with local suppliers and trades allow us to offer both high standards and fair, transparent pricing.
Presentation of the Proposal
Once the bids are in, we present a clear financial outline for your home, along with a projected construction timeline. We review your specification sheet together so you know exactly what’s included in your price and where any allowances may apply. Our goal is to keep you fully informed, with a tentative schedule to guide decisions and keep your project on track from start to finish.
Contract Signing
We’re honored to partner with you for your new home. Before we start building, we make sure everything is clear—your agreement, your schedule, and your questions. We’ll begin working with your township and utility companies to make sure necessary permits are in place. Our team is notified of the project and we begin preparing a more detailed project schedule and start date.
Construction Phase
With many decision already made and the rest in progress, construction begins. The work moves forward efficiently thanks to all the planning completed in earlier steps. We encourage you to check in often, attend scheduled site meetings, and stay involved as your home takes shape. Our team keeps you updated and makes sure the process remains smooth and enjoyable.
Pre-closing Meeting
As your project nears completion, we’ll schedule a walk-through to help you become familiar with your new home . You’ll receive a binder filled with information on caring for your new space and its features. We answer any last questions, making sure you feel confident and excited to move in.
360 Day Check-Up
Customer satisfaction is our priority. Before your first year is up, we will reach out to schedule a follow-up. If any warranty-covered issues have come up, our team resolves them quickly and with as little disruption to your life as possible.
Warranty
We stand behind our work. Your home is protected by a comprehensive warranty, reflecting our dedication to quality and our reputation as one of West Michigan’s most trusted builders.
