Our Process

Schedule a Consultation

Whether you are looking to build a new home or renovate the one you have, we are eager to help realize your vision and guide you through the process with ease. We have building sites throughout the sought-after residential Borough of Fox Chapel, and are a featured builder in the following fine communities:

  • Park Place – Indiana Township
  • Falconhurst – O’Hara Township
  • Fox Hall – O’Hara Township (Fox Chapel School District)
  • Willow Farms – Fox Chapel

Establish A Budget

During your initial consultation, we will work together to develop a preliminary budget and action plan. This collaborative process allows us to understand your vision while using our expertise to make your dream home a reality. Several important factors will inform the budget and should be considered:

  • Set realistic spending limits. Simply put, how expensive a home can you afford to build?
  • Location, geography, property taxes, and local amenities all play a role in the total cost of your project.
  • Style, square footage, and number of rooms including storage and secondary living spaces will affect both the functionality of your home as well as the complexity of the build.
  • Establish a timeline. The cost of labor and construction materials can fluctuate depending on the season and the location, impacting total costs.

Design and Plan

Your new home is a blank canvas and our design team will work with you to create a distinctive home that is perfectly suited for your family. Inspired design comes from the most unexpected places, and while we are well-versed in a multitude of traditional architectural styles, we welcome the opportunity to unleash our creativity and push the boundaries of what is expected.

We strive to construct beautiful homes in both form and function. Our goal is to transform your ideas into a living space tailored to your individual needs. Some questions to consider when developing your architectural plan:

  • Design philosophy: Do you envision a sprawling serene retreat featuring natural materials or a formal showstopper with tray ceilings and a grand staircase? Deciding on the overall ambiance of your new home is a crucial step that will inform all others.
  • Daily Routines: To ensure that your floor plan suits your lifestyle, details such as stair location, functionality, room size, and finishes are important factors to consider.
  • Building materials: While we only use quality materials, upgrades, and customizations will influence your budget.

Construction

Throughout the construction process, our team of designers, project managers, and craftsmen are committed to delivering on every agreed-upon detail and staying to task according to schedule.

Ensuring open communication and transparency are our foremost priorities. We will keep you up to date on the status of your job with regular check-in meetings as well as walkthroughs of your property throughout the building lifecycle.

Our goal is to manage every aspect of your custom home build and ensure it is completed to your satisfaction while providing exceptional service every step of the way.
