Key Aspects of Plan Design in Custom Home Building in South Carolina

Your new home should reflect your preferences and be both functional and attractive, which is why we start with an initial consultation to understand your custom home goals, including your budget, timeline, and personal lifestyle. This helps us determine whether to proceed with a custom design or select from our portfolio of pre-designed luxury homes as well as sets the foundation for your design.

Concept & Vision

After your initial consultation, we will have a vision meeting that focuses on your style influences and preferences. Clients answer a detailed questionnaire and participate in an interview to ensure we understand their expectations, including home size, number of bedrooms, bathrooms, and layout.

Plan Design

We consider functionality and style when developing a preliminary floor plan to ensure it meets your needs. Your introduction to the layout includes concept drawings, which are changeable at this stage. These drawings allow you to see how rooms might flow and the overall setup of your home. We encourage feedback to make necessary adjustments.

Plan Development

We help you choose a home style that aligns with your preferences. If you prefer a different concept than the preliminary drawings suggest, we can review styles and materials, ensuring compliance with construction codes and regulations.

Site Considerations

Land improvements are an important part of planning for a new custom home in South Carolina. We consider zoning and permitting requirements, lot clearing and tree removal, preparing the soil, planning for necessary utilities, site access, and even the suns path when helping you decide how your home is oriented on the site.

Construction Documents

Before breaking ground, we finalize the construction documents for your home. This includes the detailed floor, foundation, plumbing, HVAC, and electrical plans needed for building permits. Finalizing these plans is crucial for us to start, however you should not feel rushed to do so. Decisions about hardware or tile can be made later with vendors.
