Our process.
A successful house build doesn’t just happen, it’s planned.
It’s not every day one chooses to build a home and it starts with the right team and a well-executed process.
Let’s Meet!
We start with a discovery meeting at our office to learn more about your project, timeline and budget. Choosing the right builder is the most important decision you will make, and we want to be sure we are the right fit for each other.
Agreement
Our team has a lot of work ahead of us and are excited to get started. With a signed proposal we are holding a place in our design and production schedule. The design development process can take 6 months to a year depending on the complexity of your project.
The Building Site
Consideration for grade and exposure are important. If you already have a lot selected our team will visit the site to shoot grades which allows us to accurately plan for the foundation work.
Planning Your Home
Once you have selected a lot, we start developing the floor plan. Designing and drawing your new home so it’s perfectly placed on your lot is key. We offer inhouse drafting and design services and additionally have formed excellent relationships with architects and engineers who are valuable team members of your project.
Design Development
Interior design services are part of every home we build, and we strongly believe it’s what sets our homes apart from others. The Silver Leaf Interiors team will work closely on your project during the floor plan development phase ensuring the house includes consideration for furniture placement, cabinetry function and window views. They will schedule milestone meetings with you for approvals of all exterior and interior finishes and cabinet design allowing us to head into the bid phase.
Bid Phase
The bid phase of your project will start when the house plan and design development phases are complete. This ensures our bids accurately reflect the home we have designed and the finishes you have selected.
Pre-Contract Review
We will meet to review the cost of the house build and answer any questions and make adjustments as needed.
Contract
We are now at the stage that all plan, finishes and cost to build have been approved and a contract is signed.
Construction Plans and Permits
The drafting and architectural team will now create detailed construction plans for permits and building materials.
Production Schedule
Our production team will begin to order materials, track permits and develop the schedule. Let’s dig a hole!
Weekly Updates
You will receive weekly updates and photos on the progress of construction.
Job Site Visits
We encourage job site visit accompanied by one of our project managers to ensure safety on site. It’s an exciting time with safety first.
House Orientation
It’s almost move in day. Our team and trades will schedule a house orientation meeting to answer any questions and review your homes features with you.
Move in Day!
By now we have come a long way from standing on your raw lot and we are excited to see you moving in and standing on your front porch!
