From the very first initial meeting, we start in our office where we’ll discuss key factors in creating your vision and how we use our True Cost Approach (STAY TUNED for more on this).

What to Expect in Our First Meeting:
- Discuss the important factors in building your custom home including square footage, grading, foundation, product selections and our True Cost Approach
- Explore your vision for your dream home
- Potential visit to your lot - we can help you if you haven't found one!

Key Questions to Prepare For:
- Are you looking for a smaller or larger footprint?
- Do you already own land?
- Are you working with an architect or interior designer? (We can help you if you don't have someone in mind)

Bring at least 5 inspiration designs or photos for key areas:
- Exterior
- Great room
- Kitchen
- Primary bedroom & bathroom
- Any floor plan samples you admire

With all of this in mind, we care... A LOT...and will help you every step of the way.
