OUR PROCESS
LETS BUILD YOUR FUTURE.
-
1 || COME MEET US
The first step in making your dream home a reality is coming to visit with us. Meeting a contractor that complements your personality and desires is crucial. Building a long term relationship between owner and contractor is our goal.
-
2 || SITE SELECTION
Once our team has aided you in familiarizing yourself with our product and process, it's time to select a home site to begin your journey. You can choose to build on a lot that you already own or have one of our team members drive you around the area to find the perfect spot. We will provide you with a free estimate of the cost to prepare your lot for construction.
-
3 || FLOOR PLAN DESIGN
After a home site has been selected, we will guide you in the direction that best fits your needs in order to select an architect/engineer or customize a previously drafted home plan.
-
4 || PRICING REVIEW
Pricing begins during the design process. Working with a contractor during the architectural review process can help eliminate cost overruns before you spend unwanted funds designing a project that is out of your budget. Once the drawings are completed, it is time to crunch the budget so you can decide the next move. Depending on the detail of design, our team can devise a contract based on a cost plus a fee basis, time and material contract or a hybrid combination of both.
-
5 || CONTRACT & PERMITTING
Now that you have come this far, you are in the position to decide if building with Big Horn Customs is the right choice for you. If the answer is yes, an owner/contractor agreement will be prepared for you to sign. Once the plans come back from engineering, and the architect has reviewed and over-laid the structural impacts (red-lines), they will be sent to the city or HOA for permitting.
-
6 || SELECTION PROCESS
While waiting on permits you will also be given information on the step-by-step materials selection process. We will provide you with specification booklets to assist in making material selections.
-
7 || BREAK GROUND
It’s time for our crews to begin construction on your dream home. We will walk with you every step of the way along with answering any questions you may have.
-
8 || MILESTONE MEETINGS
Throughout the construction process, you will have several meetings onsite with your Construction Manager that marks the beginning of different stages of construction: frame, electrical, low voltage, brick design, interior trim package, cabinets, landscape design, pre-walk and final walkthroughs. Every week you will receive an updated construction schedule along with a two week look-ahead schedule. If you are not able to be in the area constantly, these schedules along with weekly progress photos will help you visualize the progress of your dream.
-
9 || WE HAND YOU THE KEYS
Upon receiving the Certificate of Occupancy and closing, we will meet you at your new home to walk you through and hand you the keys. We will be scheduled to assist with the training of all systems installed so you can learn from the professionals, and not have to page through endless manuals.
