YOUR ROAD MAP

If you’re considering building a home in Western North Carolina, I want to be one of the first to encourage you on this journey. Building a home – especially a custom or retirement home – is often a unique, and sometimes a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

We understand all of the planning that leads to the decision to build your dream home. By the time we connect with our clients, they have often been dreaming about, saving for, and preparing to invest in their home for many years. For many of them, this the largest investment they will ever make, and for many others, it is the home where they will retire. We are profoundly fortunate to gain our clients’ trust, and to carry out the role of bringing their vision to life. Alongside that fortune comes the immense responsibility to do so with the quality, integrity, and professionalism warranted of a job so significant.

As a design + build firm, we strongly believe in the power of working in partnership with our clients from the beginning of their project, and in crafting a vision that truly meets our clients needs. That’s why we believe achieving a truly exceptional custom home requires both excellence on our part, and education on the client’s part. Clients should go into the construction process as informed as possible, so that we can work together to make creative and crucial decisions. We compiled this step-by-step guide with the knowledge and expertise of our team of more than 50 experienced professionals as a first-step toward starting your construction journey with the knowledge you need for success. We hope this guide will serve as a road map as you get started on your journey - and we hope you enjoy every moment of the journey.
