Deciding to build a custom home can be a very trying and stressful task. I know from personal experience, as my husband and I completed our home in December of 2007. I will personally help walk you through each step of design, and help you choose an engineer and builder. I will be with you every step of the way.  From initial design, through permitting and I will even be there for the builder should he/she have any questions. 

           I’d like to give you some information on how the process works. During our first meeting I will ask questions about what you want to get out of your house. One or two stories? Master down or up? Are you in a flood zone? Siding or brick? Do you intend for your family to grow? Do you entertain frequently? What is your square footage and price range? These are just a few questions we will cover in our first meeting. If you have obtained your land then I’d like to go and walk the property with you and decide on a placement for your home. I always want to take advantage of natural lighting and the views your property have to offer. Once I've gathered all your information I will design a preliminary floor plan. Once you've approved your floor plan I will then design the exterior of your home. This is a good time to start looking for a builder and start shopping around for a bank. Quick tip, when looking for a builder ask for references and ask to see some of the projects they have completed. I would be happy to refer some trustowrthy builders. Once you decide on a builder, I will be happy to meet with you and your builder to go over the design and specifications. Then I will finalize the plans, and once you approve them I will send them to an engineer to design the foundation and overall construction to comply with the current codes required by your municipality. Then your builder will apply for a building permit and you will start to see your home come to life.
