OUR CUSTOM HOME PROCESS

We’re excited to help you on the path to building the home of your dreams. We realize building your perfect home takes time, experience, dedication, and passion, and we have all of that. Our dedicated and skilled team will help take your boards, images, and ideas and refine them into your dream home – coming up with a floor plan, a design strategy, and ultimately your dream home that is beautiful, livable, and built to last.

INTERVIEW

We not only want you to have a beautiful home, but a home that makes your daily routines effortless. That’s why our custom home design process starts with a thorough interview. During this initial interview, we discuss and determine the main criteria of your dream home. This main criteria, along with your lifestyle, lot selection, and budget are our guiding forces.

DESIGN

Based on our interview, we will select an architect or designer to draw plans for your dream home. After several meetings and selecting/finalizing your architectural plan, the design selection process begins. The design selection process involves detailing and selecting structural components, materials, and exterior and interior finishes that will go into your home.

BUILD

A tool that we utilize to facilitate an enjoyable and convenient experience is Construction Online, a web based construction management service. You will be able to login and view and manage your home’s construction process from start to finish. Our highly qualified staff will guide you and provide expert advice through each step in the process. We want you to be involved in creating the home of your dreams without having to worry about the logistical stresses.

YOUR CUSTOM HOME TIMELINE

Step 1: Interview, Look at Homes, Refine Ideas: Meet with Gus and your Project Manager to begin to share ideas, look at homes, and create a wishlist for your dream home,
Step 2: Design Spec: The Gus Pounds Homes team begins to develop a floorplan based on your ideas, wishlist, and images. During this time you will be able to edit the floorplan until it’s just what you want, and you will create the front elevation for your home.
Step 3: Contract: We take your finalized floorplan and present you a contract price that is based on your floorplan and any adjustments to our building specifications,
Step 4: Permitting: Once we have a contract, the Gus Pounds Homes team will begin getting the necessary permits and surveys that are required before we start building your home.
Step 5: Selections: During the permitting phase, you will begin making the selections for your home. This includes all interior and exterior finishes that make your home unique and turn it into the dream home that tells your story. You will work with our Gus Pounds Homes interior designer during this time, who will help you create a beautiful story with your home, and your project manager will be there to guide you through this entire process.
Step 6: Build: The most exciting part! Once we get the permits, we are ready to start building and things start moving very quickly. We move through different phases of the building process and your builder and project manager will help keep you updated and on track with turning in selections and making decisions during the process.
Step 7: Move In: Once your home is complete, we will obtain the Certificate of Occupancy for you, which will allow you to move into your new dream home! We will be as excited as you to see the home complete and lived in by the family who created it.
Step 8: Warranty: You will receive a homeowner’s handbook and warranty book that explains everything you need to know about your new home and how to make sure everything is warrantied. Gus Pounds Homes extends a one year limited warranty on all our homes.
