About Host, Paul LaRoche, Owner & Founder of LR3 Development, LLC

Architecture and design are in Paul’s DNA.

When Paul was a young man, he had the opportunity to learn about the trades from firsthand experience and watch the process for himself. He learned about building, design, and construction. He developed an impeccable appreciation for style, decor, and quality. Inspired by his family, he attended Boston Architectural College, where his professional training began.

After working for other firms for years, Paul wanted more autonomy in the building process to better provide the quality and innovative solutions he believed in.

After 20+ years in the construction industry, he opened LR3 in 2020 and never looked back!

A true industry leader, Paul’s created luxury markets where others have said it couldn’t be done. His work has won multiple awards, including the “Home of the Year” for the State of New Hampshire.

What does the custom home-building process really look like? From plans to perfection, we get into the process from start to finish in this episode.

You’ll see behind the scenes and learn what happens in those initial meetings, when the plans get finalized, and of course, when it’s ready to move in and make the home your own.

In this episode of The Craft of Custom, we’ll answer:

• What happens first in the custom home build process?
• When do plans get sketched out and what key decisions need to be made first?
• What permits and approvals are required before breaking ground and how long does this stage take?
• What construction “milestones” are there once the process starts?
• When do homeowners make decisions on cabinetry, flooring, finishes, and more?
• What final steps happen before the new build is ready to move in and call home?
