Will I Be Involved During the Building Process?
How communication works during construction, when you'll be on site, and what we need from you.
Yes, and deliberately so. You get regular updates, scheduled site visits, and walkthroughs at key milestones. A custom home only turns out right if the person it was designed for is part of building it.
How communication works
- Regular updates. Progress, what's next, and anything that's changed.
- Site visits and walkthroughs. Scheduled at meaningful stages so you're seeing the house when there's something useful to see and decide.
- A single point of contact. You shouldn't have to figure out who to call.
Milestones where your eyes matter most
- Pre-construction meeting. Plans, schedule and details confirmed before work starts. See what happens in it.
- Framing and pre-drywall. The best moment of the whole build to catch something. Walls are up, everything is visible, and changes are still relatively affordable.
- Rough-in. Electrical, plumbing and HVAC locations are real and physical for the first time. Outlet and switch placement is much easier to fix now.
- Final walkthrough. See the final walkthrough.
A few ground rules for site visits
An active job site has real hazards and a real schedule. We ask that visits be arranged rather than spontaneous, that direction goes through us rather than to trades directly, and that anything you want changed becomes a written change order. Verbal instructions to a subcontractor are how projects go sideways for everyone, including you.
What we need from you
Decisions on time. That's the single biggest thing a client controls. See selection deadlines and what causes delays.
