Planning Your New Custom Home in Saluda River Club
Much goes into planning a totally custom home, from choosing the interior finishes to deciding on exterior landscaping. Let us plan your new home with you, helping you consider every small detail that will make all the difference.
Planning your new home starts with the vision meeting. This lets us pin down your exact wants and needs moving forward. We need answers to big questions, like how much square footage you want, how many bedrooms you need, and the number of bathrooms you require.
We will answer as many smaller questions too, such as the backsplash you want in the kitchen or the tile flooring you want for your en suite bathroom. You may want to wait to confirm some finishes until you see more of the finished project. We can plan for that, and you can meet with vendors on walkthroughs to compare finishes and make your final selections.
We will not rush you into settling on plans for your new custom home but can keep tweaking them until you are fully happy with the final product.
Building Fully Custom Homes vs. Portfolio Homes
We build both fully custom homes and houses from our portfolio of base plans. We can even modify a portfolio home to suit your needs and customize it for you and your family.
We are experienced in building unique, expansive homes with gorgeous finishes and luxury features. Custom homes often mean more expensive and sought-after materials, which we know how to safeguard and treat with care.
Any of our portfolio homes may have the features you want in a custom home, and we can show you all the models we build for clients in Saluda River Club. They range in aesthetics and size, offering something for everyone.
What Finishes Should I Choose for My New Custom Home?
The finishes for your custom home should be cohesive and pair nicely with the home’s exterior. We can help you choose the best finishes for your new house so that you realize your original vision.
We can show you options that reflect what you expressed in the vision meeting. There are many decisions to make, from what cabinets you want in the kitchen to the type of faucet you want for the kitchen sink, and making as many of these decisions at the beginning helps you stay on budget.
What is the Pre-Construction Phase for Building a Custom Home in Saluda River Club?
During the pre-construction phase, we make land improvements. Undeveloped land may need plumbing and utility lines added, as well as road access points. We may need to clear away trees and other shrubbery and take the necessary steps to ensure a stable foundation.
Also, during pre-construction, you will decide how to orient your house on the land. We can help pick the best view when completing the land assessment of your property in Saluda River Club.
We also get all the necessary permits, make sure we adhere to zoning regulations, and get everything else in place before construction officially begins.
Setting the Budget for a New Custom Home Build
Before we break ground on new builds, we devise budgets with clients. Sticking to that budget is one of our top priorities, and we have tried-and-true methods of doing so.
We can help you pinpoint your must-have items and prepare in advance for future decisions, like final selections. When plans are finalized, you will get a breakdown of the building costs and specifications. We plan ahead for allowances for your budget for later decisions, and we can tweak the home plans to accommodate it.
We will update you and communicate clearly all along the way, staying in close contact so there are no unpleasant surprises. We respect our clients’ budgets and design dreams.
Regular Progress Walkthroughs of Custom Homes Under Construction in Saluda River Club
We will invite you to walk through the construction site periodically so you can stay updated on the progress. Walkthroughs are your chance to finalize locations for electric and plumbing placements, get regular updates about construction, and check in on your new home.
Scheduling walkthroughs ahead of time is important. Your home is still an active construction site until we hand you the keys, so we want to be sure it’s safe for you to walk through the home and property when you arrive..
As we get further into construction, walkthroughs may include meeting with subcontractors and vendors to discuss final selections. Cabinetry, paint colors, and trim are some of the exciting decisions you may make later with vendors during walkthroughs.
We keep construction sites clean and orderly so walkthroughs can commence without issue. To keep in touch outside of walkthroughs, we use the BuilderTrend app. This lets builders and homeowners connect, share information, and set up meetings at the construction site.
On the final walkthrough of your custom house, you get the keys and can start moving into your new home in Saluda River Club. Then you’re all set to enjoy the amenities — the pools, the walking trails, the clubhouse, the river access, and more. All from the comfort of your beautiful new oasis.
