Did you know…. We can help you build your dream home from the ground up? The new construction process can be daunting, grueling and down right scary, but our team of experts can help you make the journey easy.

Do you have a picture perfect lot that you’ve been waiting to build your forever home on? Preparing the land and deciding on the placement and orientation of the home is a big leap. You can’t move the house if you find out that the sun comes up every morning and beams directly onto your bed pillows. Starting with these details is where home planning begins.

Setting the foundation and making sure the plumbing is mapped out can be frustrating. You have to think about 20 steps ahead to ensure all will be just how you want it down the road. Do you have enough exterior water taps? No one likes to have to string 4 hoses together just to water the flowers. Did you put a drain in the garage floor so you can hose it out without flooding the house? Did you plan for a second floor laundry or a doggie bath for your furry kids? The details can quickly become overwhelming. This is where we make it easier for you.

Let’s just touch on electrical. Have you ever lived somewhere that didn’t have enough outlets? It’s enough to drive you mad! Yes, adding an extra 10 outlets in a new build adds to the budget, but after you move in and begin plugging in lamps and appliances, you will be ever so grateful that you went for the extra outlets. Same with lighting. You have to imagine yourself in your completed home and consider how much lighting you will need for task work and even relaxation. Think about how much light you need to chop veggies in the kitchen and maybe you need motion sensor lights for all those late night bathroom visits. Getting the details right from the get go will make your home the dream you envisioned.

And we can’t discount all the inspections! Have you ever dealt with a cranky boss? Inspectors aren’t too pleasant when things are not the way they want them. At every intersection of the construction process, work must be inspected to ensure things are to code and safe. If you don’t have someone with experience who is on top of the details, the whole build could come screeching to a halt.

Our team has the knowledge, patience and grit to be the eyes and ears for your new home. We love all the paint and pillows and pretty stuff, but we know the bones of your home are what stands the test of time.
