  • Inside the Home Building Process from A-Z
    2025/04/09

    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?
