Our Process

We use our long standing relationships with local real estate professionals to help you find the perfect lot. We’ll confirm project feasibility by bringing in consultants (soil, environmental, well, septic, pool, etc) to help evaluate the overall site and its potential.

A unique feature, we begin the design work in-house with our own team. We have extensive knowledge of engineering and design, which enables us to design a home while simulateously value engineering the structure. Because we use so much steel, we know the possibilities available in design that only steel offers. We have strong working relationships with architects and interior designers during this process.

Our trade relationships with European suppliers set your home apart from ordinary custom builders that only purchase from supplies down the street. We create a Specifications Book; a comprehensive document that catalogs the finishes and features exclusive to your home.

We obtain bids from subcontractor and suppliers based on your approved Specifications Book. You’ll then receive and confirm the overall budget for your home. Once a permit has been issued, you’ll receive a Decision Deadline Schedule. We pace the decisions that need to be made so that decisions for your home are not overwhelming, and allows us to remain on track with our schedules.

One of the advantages of working with us is that we aren’t just “one person trying to do everything”. Once the project begins, a Project Manager will coordinate construction, inspections, and serve as a hub for resolving issues as they arise. Your Project Coordinator will coordinate finishes and decisions, and your Director of Finance will track your project completion percentage with deposits.  Through our existing and broad financial network we can help tailor construction loans, credit facilities, and in certain circumstances co-finance projects to assist our clients with their financial requirements.​

​

We use specialized, online software to track all aspects of scheduling and selections, giving you oversight on home construction. This 24-hour access gives you the ability to track construction progress whether you’re in town or traveling abroad.

Our in-depth project close-out process includes a full inspection by municipal authorities. Kevin Mangum will then join you and your Project Manager for a detailed walk-through to compile a final “punch-list”. Upon move-in, you’ll receive a closeout package with copies of Plans, Specifications Book, Manuals and Warranties, as well as photo documentation of your project.
