South Carolina is one of the most desirable locations to build a house in the United States. We’ve got beautiful weather, mild winters, and are close to the mountains and the ocean here. Designing a home from the ground up is a big undertaking and our builders take you through each stage of the process, from settling on a framing style and exterior colors to choosing the final finishes for hardware throughout the home. We know how to make this process as easy and fun as possible.
When starting to design and plan new custom homes for clients in South Carolina, we begin with an initial consultation where we discuss your goals, get to know each other, and answer any questions about our design and construction process. The second phase is the vision meeting. This is an opportunity for clients to take our questionnaire and be explicit about their style preferences. At that point, we start the design phase of our process where we collaborate to create the floor plan design and finalize the architectural layout and flow of the home. This will lead to a concept drawing of the house that will give you a basic understanding of its plans.
Then we create a thorough and detailed budget before we build anything. You are always in control. And we make sure we, as your design and build team, are on the same page with you about how much you want to spend. Step five is pre-construction where we will meet with you at your home site to determine what land prep needs to be done, and how to orient the home, and we’ll prepare a plot plan for you to see how your home will be situated on your property. After construction plans are finalized and the necessary permits are obtained, we can start construction, though you may continue to make selection decisions that affect the overall design and feel of the home as construction proceeds.

Your new luxury home should be a reflection of you. It should be functional without compromising aesthetics, and we can marry practicality with attractive design when planning and constructing your new home in South Carolina. We will begin learning about your vision through a questionnaire and interview, continuously touching base throughout the process until you make all final selections, construction is done, and you get the keys.
After you have had your initial consultation and settled on Blythe Custom Homes to design and construct your new home in South Carolina, we will have a vision meeting. This is the time to go in-depth on your style influences, show pictures of homes you love, and ask any questions you have about the potential design features specific kinds of homes afford, like how post and beam homes can give you beautiful interior wooden beams running through living areas. We also have clients answer a thorough questionnaire and go through an interview so that we feel confident that we are on the same page and can meet their expectations.
While we can design a home from the ground up based on the vision meeting and continuous conversations we have with you so that the plans reflect your current wants and needs, we can also work off of existing plans, changing them to match your preferences and needs.
Giving room for clients to make some decisions on finishes, like lighting, hardware, and flooring until they are able to speak with vendors and finalize them on walkthroughs results in increased flexibility that facilitates clients reaching their desired results. Based on the style influences you are most inspired by, we can present you with various selections that best align with your likes. Clients can choose to outfit their kitchens with high-quality quartz or marble countertops, even carrying such materials into bathrooms so they feel equally upscale.
Building a custom home enables you to personalize all aspects from the outside in. This can aid cohesion, as we can carry elements of the home’s exterior inward, ensuring a consistent aesthetic throughout the house. All decisions, down to the crown molding and baseboard styles you choose, will come together to create your home and its overall ambiance. Because of this, we will continuously affirm your selections with you throughout construction, taking you on walkthroughs before important cabinetry, countertops, and tile are installed to ensure they are up to par with your expectations.
As we continue to solidify the plans for your home, you will get more conceptual drawings and visualizations that can give you an even clearer idea of what your custom build will look like once it is finally realized.
Concept drawings are the first plans you will get for your potential new home. At this point, everything is changeable. For example, suppose you initially thought you wanted a pitched roof and a classic Tudor-style design, but seeing the preliminary drawings and how rooms would be spaced made you change your mind, making you want a different concept altogether. Even these basic drawings make the process seem much more real and give clients the opportunity to see how rooms might flow into one another, where staircases will be located, and the overall setup of their homes. We encourage clients to speak up when concept drawings turn out differently than they expected, and we will work together to get to the bottom of what they need to be changed.
After you approve the concept drawings for your new home, you have the option for us to develop the real dimensions for the structure and create a 3-D visualization for you. This is at an additional charge. But you will be able to see your home’s exterior, enter it, and walk through it digitally, room by room. For many clients, this gives them the sense of being in the home before it has been built, giving them confidence in the design and layout choices they have made. Still, if something looks off to you at this point, let us know, as the 3-D visualization is a very close image of how your home will appear once complete, barring any final selections that have yet to be made at this point.
Finally, before breaking ground, we will solidify the construction plans for the home. This set of plans will be comprised of a fully dimensioned floor plan for your house, as well as a foundation and electrical plan. These are necessary to get the required building permits for construction, so finalizing them is important. That said, you should not rush into approving construction plans and should express any concerns you have, such as with electrical or plumbing placements. Finalizing construction plans does not mean you have to settle on the hardware for your kitchen or the tile in your bathroom; many of these decisions can be made later on during meetings with our vendors.
