Frequently Asked Questions

I want to build a new home. What are the next steps?

Before embarking on your next big project, you have a few things to consider:

  • Your budget
  • Choosing a lot
  • Picking a house layout
  • Finding a contractor

Once you know your budget and where you want to build, you can work with a professional home builder to hammer out the other details. A home builder can also help you select a lot, design your home, and build out your team if you need architects or excavators. They can also help you obtain building permits and finalize your project plan, so contacting a home builder is a great place to start.

How long does it take to build a new home?

Building a new home can take anywhere from 6 months to 2 years. It varies on the size of the job, who’s involved, and any planning and permit obtainment that needs to get done.

Generally, for a custom home, you should err on the side of caution. Expect it to take two years—one for planning, one for construction—so you don’t rush it.

Should I build a new home or renovate my current home?

That will depend on your needs, wants, and budget. Sometimes, all you need is a remodeled kitchen and a new home addition to make your house feel like a dream home. But other times, you may have loftier aspirations (and a loftier budget) that necessitate a home built from the ground up.

You should consider building a new home after consulting a contractor to see if it’s within your budget. If your current home is old or in ruin, it may not be worth renovating.

Can I visit the construction site during construction?

Yes! Before visiting, please book an appointment so your builder can escort you safely. The construction site is a work zone and can be dangerous, so we strongly advise you to follow the builder’s safety instructions.

Should I buy land before or after I speak with my home builder?

We always recommend buying land after you speak with a home builder to ensure it’s ready for development. But if you’ve already purchased land, don’t worry: a builder can still certainly help you develop it.

How can I find a home builder near me?

You’ve found us—and that’s a great start. You can use the Internet to find local home builders, then narrow your search based on reviews and reputation. As a local home builder, we always recommend our clients start by booking a consultation to get a sense of our building process and how we manage the job. That way, they’ll know what to expect at every stage of the project.

Renovating your kitchen is a big undertaking and takes a lot of time to fully plan. It’s important to take your time to create a space that truly works for your home, but, some mistakes are unavoidable. With this handy guide though, we aim to help you avoid the four most common mistakes:

Forgetting about storage: a kitchen fills up fast and it is so important to remember to plan for the future and not skimp out on storage space. A kitchen with well-planned storage space is worth the extra effort and money, as forgetting to ensure that you have space to grow will come back to bite you. This is especially important in smaller kitchens where smart storage can be helpful in preventing a cluttered, confusing space.

The flow of the space: a kitchen that doesn’t flow is not a functional space. You need to have the space to move and cook and live, and an obstruction-free and clear space will make spending time in the kitchen joyful and relaxing, instead of stressed and hurried.

Counter space: counters easily become cluttered with various kitchen items. Making sure that you leave enough counter space for prepping your cooking, coffee makers, toasters and other appliances is important and necessary to keep in mind when renovating your kitchen.

Forgetting expert help: you might have an exact idea of what you want in your new kitchen, but it never hurts to get an expert’s help, and it may actually save you some money by avoiding silly mistakes. An expert can help you design the kitchen of your dreams while keeping your budget in mind, and is so worth the effort. Our team of expert designers can help you create the kitchen of your dreams, and we’re only a click away.
