Throughout your entire new build with Blythe Custom Homes, from the initial consultation to the day-to-day happenings of construction, our goal is to have clients remain confident in our ability to meet their expectations. This begins with us meeting and solidifying your vision for the house, identifying and sticking to the target budget, making plans and revising them according to your input, and scheduling walkthroughs at organized construction sites with builders who respect your time and materials.
The first step in our new home construction process is the initial consultation we have with clients to ensure we are a good fit for their needs, however unique they may be. We can discuss your desired target budget for the build, which we can iron out later as we finalize building plans and materials, and explain the benefits of choosing Blythe Custom Homes. We can handle all aspects of your new build, from drawing the plans to connecting you with our experienced vendors for final selections. We will provide you with meaningful updates during construction and invite you on regular walkthroughs of the site so you can remain involved and see how construction is progressing.
Initial consultations are followed by vision meetings, which are an opportunity for us to learn more about clients’ specific preferences and inspirations, which can help us identify possible finishes or home styles they may enjoy. We have a thorough process for understanding clients’ wants and needs, which involves deep conversations, questionnaires, and interviews.
Even when clients have relatively high target budgets for new construction, respecting their budgets is still paramount to us. After getting more insight into the home size you want, the framing style you prefer, the necessary land improvements we must do, the materials you want to use during the build, and other aspects of construction, we can help devise a budget that best suits your situation and target it moving forward, whether with a fully custom design or by taking one of our existing plans and making alterations as necessary.
As we create the initial concept plans for your home, which will be based on information gathered during a vision meeting with us, we will update them as you give feedback, potentially changing the layout of rooms or seemingly minor elements that would make a difference to you after moving in. When you approve the concept drawings for your home, you’ll start to get a sense of the space, how rooms are arranged, where staircases are located, and how it might feel to live there. We can continue fine-tuning the plans for the upcoming build until you are fully happy with them and confident that they will lead to your dream house.
After confirming the plans for your build and getting the specifications and building costs for your home, we will revisit the target budget to ensure you are comfortable with the current plans and see if the previous allowances we made are sufficient for possible upcoming finishes decisions.
When construction begins, which will happen after land improvements are complete, we have obtained the mandatory permits, and you have approved the final building plans, you will be invited for walkthroughs to monitor progress and make various decisions on site. Despite being active construction sites, we aim to maintain organized, clean, and secure environments when building, particularly because the materials our clients often opt to use during construction are high-grade. The marble or quartz countertops for your kitchen, the heavy and expensive lumber for your post and beam framed home, and the other materials used to build and outfit your house will be treated with the care they deserve, which you will likely notice during your many walkthroughs.
These walkthroughs will be scheduled ahead of time to ensure your safety and comfort. You will be invited to the construction site at various stages, such as after the house is framed and once the rough-ins are complete, meaning the electrical, plumbing, and HVAC systems have been installed. Additional walkthroughs will be scheduled after the drywall is in so clients can meet with vendors and confirm their specifications for various finishes, like cabinets and flooring. This is also an opportunity to take advantage of possible allowances made in the target budget for any items you were hesitant about before, such as outdoor features.
