PLAN DESIGN
The custom home building process continues with the design of your new luxury custom home, as you meet with our Architect and Interior Design team. It is always productive to bring photos of rooms and details which speak to you help to help us build a picture of what style your home will be.
When you are ready to move forward, we request a Plan Design Deposit to get the process started. The plan design deposit is credited back towards the cost of the home once the contract and price have been agreed upon. After the design is completed to your satisfaction, the plans will be brought up to ¼” scale, elevations will be prepared and agreed upon and initial specifications provided. This gives us as the builder enough information to give you a formal proposal for the home.
CONTRACTING
When you have agreed to the price and specifications, we can present you with a formal Contract. Once signed, we can continue to move forward and complete the plans and engineering to get ready for Permitting on your new custom home. During this time, you will also review the plans with our Interior Design Team working out details such as ceilings, arches, niches, and built-ins,… which need to be incorporated in the final plans for building your custom home in Orlando.
FINALIZING YOUR HOME
After the contract is signed, you will work with our Interior Design Team on making the interior selections for your new home. This is a fun process which you will be guided through seamlessly by our Team.
Selections include:
- Tiles
- Hardwood
- Carpet
- Appliances
- Plumbing Fixtures
- Lighting Fixtures
- Cabinets
Standard construction time for a custom home to be built from start to finish ranges from 7 to 24 months dependent upon whether the home is 3,500 sq ft or 30,000 sq ft.
