Building A Custom Home

First Steps:

Whether you bring existing house plans from a different architect, have discovered house designs that resonate with you, or simply hold aspirations for a custom home without a clear starting point – at Elevation Homes, we meet you right where you are. Our goal is not just to provide a custom home but to open the door to a residence that is entirely unique, tailored to suit your individual lifestyle and preferences.

Scoping:

We carefully evaluate the grounds where your future home will take shape. Our team at Elevation Homes brings a wealth of expertise to strategically plan your home around optimal views, privacy considerations, and the most effective utilization of your property. Collaborating closely with architects, structural engineers, as well as civil and soil engineers, we meticulously plan every detail. Whether your project commences on undeveloped land or involves replacing an existing structure in a well-established neighborhood, our thorough preparation allows you to visualize precisely how your envisioned home will harmonize with the site.

Planning:

We meticulously analyze the surroundings where your upcoming home will be crafted. Our team employs a wealth of knowledge to strategically design your home, considering the best views, privacy aspects, and efficient use of your property. Working closely with architects, structural engineers, and experts in civil and soil engineering, we methodically map out every nuance. Whether your project begins on undeveloped land or entails replacing an existing structure in an established neighborhood, our comprehensive preparation provides you with a clear visualization of how your envisioned home will seamlessly integrate with the site.

Financing:

Navigating construction loans and selecting a lender is made simple with our assistance. We initiate the home design process with a design fee. We offer recommendations for several lenders, or you have the option to secure your own financing. Our team guides you through the intricacies of construction loans, explaining the details of when and how construction fees are paid. Over the years, we've established partnerships with reputable lenders, ensuring solid processes are in place to alleviate concerns and allow you to relish the experience of witnessing your home come to life.

Construction:

5-6 months

Our team of carpenters, masons, framers, painters, electricians, excavation crews, field supervisors, and project  managers ensure a smooth and efficient project from start to finish. From navigating cost considerations to understanding unique features and specifications, we provide clear insights upfront. The selection process, covering everything from tiles and lighting to fixtures, countertops, and hardware, becomes an enjoyable, stress-free experience with our dedicated vendors.
