The Custom Home Build Timeline
A proven process that brings clarity to every phase of your custom home build, from the first conversation to the final walkthrough.
An honest first conversation about what you want and what it takes to build it here
A deep dive into your wants, needs, and inspiration, from Pinterest boards to must-haves
We review your plans with you before breaking ground, so you can see and adjust the layout early, working with or without an architect
A clear, detailed proposal and a contract you understand before anything starts
Subs and materials scheduled weeks ahead on a project timeline, so nothing waits on a phone call
The physical start: clearing, excavation, and demo, done clean
Footings, foundation walls, and waterproofing, plus anything that lives in the slab, radiant in-floor heating and sub-slab insulation, set before the concrete is poured
Framing, roofing, and siding, closing the building in and making it weathertight before any interior work begins, with hand-cut roofs, not trusses
Systems coordinated and roughed in, HVAC, the ERV, and everything buried in the walls before drywall
Insulation, drywall, trim, and the finish work that makes it yours
A final walkthrough, the keys, and a five-year warranty that says we're not going anywhere
You Won't Miss the Moments that Matter
Many of our clients are building from Portland, Boston, or New York, and can't be here for the milestones. We document the whole build, including what's inside the walls before insulation, and turn it into a record of your home.
We provide weekly updates, maintain a clean and organized job site, and deliver a high-quality book documenting your build from start to finish.
