Our Build Process
Building a home with us typically involves the following process:
-
Initial Consultation: The first step is to meet with our team to discuss your vision, goals, and budget for your new home. This free consultation is also an opportunity to learn more about the company's experience and approach to building custom homes.
-
Design and Planning: Once you've decided to move forward with GCU Custom Builders, the next step is to create a detailed plan for your new home. This may include reviewing your chosen plans or working with an architect to design the layout and features of the home, selecting materials, and finalizing a budget.
-
Site Preparation: Before construction can begin, the building site must be prepared. This may include clearing trees, grading the land, and preparing the foundation.
-
Construction: With the site prepared, construction of the home can begin. GCU will typically manage all aspects of the construction process, from framing and roofing to plumbing, electrical, and HVAC.
-
Inspections: Throughout the construction process, the home will be inspected by local building officials to ensure that it meets all safety and building codes.
-
Finishing Touches: Once the construction is complete, our team will work with you to add finishing touches such as landscaping, flooring, paint, and fixtures.
-
Final Walkthrough: Before handing over the keys, we will conduct a final walkthrough with you to ensure that everything meets your expectations and that any remaining details are addressed.
-
Move-In: With the final walkthrough complete and any necessary final touches made, you can move into your new custom home and enjoy your dream home built to your specifications.
