01

INITIAL CONTACT

Upon Initial contact, a cost-free meeting is arranged. During this meeting, prospective clients can review previous works, formulate ideas, establish a budget and explore the requirements involved in the Custom Home Building process. For us, it is an opportunity to begin the personal contact that is so important in creating a home that meets the needs of our clients while reflecting the client’s personal taste for living.

Step 1: Initial Contact – Two men reviewing and rolling out blueprints during a planning meeting

During this phase, a number of questions are addressed by the GCC team with regards to square footage desired, number of bedrooms and baths, and specific needs of the client. Typically, we arrange a meeting on your property to discuss the optimal site placement of your home. We will discuss any architectural and restrictive covenants and consider all of the important aspects in the strategic placement and design of your new home..

02

Conceptual

During this stage, individual room groups, floor plans, rooflines, and elevations are shared between the builder and client. We will meet with the plan designer to further develop preliminary concepts of all outlined items above. We then communicate via fax, mail, email, or personal meeting in order to develop the plan design elements. Clients will make adjustments based on likes and dislikes of the concepts presented.

Step 2: Design Development – 3D digital rendering of a custom home design

While in this stage, the floor plan layouts, exterior levels, and elevations are determined. Conclusively, this is the most critical stage in the process. When this phase is completed, we will prepare a projected cost summary that outlines all previously discussed specifications and outline over all anticipated costs.This will prepare our client for making relevant decisions prior to finalizing the construction drawings.

03

Pre-Construction

Once targeted budget requirements and basic design elements are complete, the formal plan development begins. In this phase of creation, exact construction plans are produced, explicit dimensions, and specific detailing of all features requiring thorough explanation and direction.

Step 3: Pre-Construction – Detailed architectural blueprint with precise measurements

During the formal plan development phase, it is normal that several questions and options may arise. Cost considerations during this phase are not a problem since projected cost summaries have been completed. Finalized formal plans are thoroughly reviewed, final specifications are developed, and final cost summaries are completed. We then work together to develop a concise description of all work to be performed during the projects construction. Scheduling and contract development will occur after we obtain the final plans, specification, and costs.
