New Custom Home Construction in Columbia, SC

Columbia, SC, is one of the best places in the state — and honestly, in the country — to build your new home. Located in the center of South Carolina, Columbia is a moderately-sized city with plenty of recreational activities, beautiful lakes, riverwalks, job opportunities, amazing restaurants, and shopping. It’s home to the bustling campus of the University of South Carolina, with lots of sporting events, picturesque scenery, and educational opportunities.

Much more is involved in building a home than the actual day-to-day construction work. Our processes are designed so that clients feel comfortable moving forward, knowing that we respect their target budgets, are dedicated to open communication, and are committed to realizing their approved plans.

We offer different solutions to prospective clients who want to build new family homes, whether they are fully customized or based on previous plans. Modifying any of our home plans may enable heightened customization, letting clients add or remove features as they see fit. We can review all these options with you during the initial consultation so that when the vision meeting happens, we can focus on the details. We provide straightforward communication with our clients during their builds. And we schedule walkthroughs with clients at building sites and provide tangible updates through the BuilderTrend app. This helps us to keep every visit and issue documented for our clients’ convenience.

Customizing New Home Construction Plans in Columbia, SC

In addition to starting from scratch and planning wholly customized homes for clients, we can also work off existing plans, whether they are those crafted by our in-house architectural designer or plans you have previously drawn up. Our goal is to meet your desired level of customization so that you ultimately have a functional and attractive home that will serve you for years, if not decades, to come.

Modifying Existing Plans

Some clients approach us with partially complete or possibly outdated plans that reflect their previous family size or needs, which we can refine after discussing your vision, aesthetic preferences, and mandatory features. We also have a range of plans devised by our in-house architectural designer that are available to build and modify to better suit clients’ needs. These plans combine style and functionality, offering a range of square footage and floor plans for clients that can be easily altered as necessary. We can factor the cost of modifications into the target budget, even making allowances for some options that maybe you cannot decide on just yet.

Creating Fully Unique Plans

We also offer the opportunity for clients to build totally customized homes planned with our architectural designer. This enables you to decide every aspect of your home’s look and feel, from the exterior trim and pitch of the roof to the home’s layout and floor plan. Devising custom homes requires in-depth discussions with clients so we can appreciate their vision and the specific elements they might want to be included, such as a fully-equipped outdoor kitchen or an expansive open floor plan with tall ceilings and large custom windows.

You can see your fully customized plans come to life with the 3-D visualization we provide if you’d like to consider this optional service. This will come after you have approved concept drawings to ensure we are on the right path when finalizing construction plans.

Straightforward Communication During New Home Construction in Columbia, SC

Straightforward communication is paramount when clients entrust builders to bring the plans for their new homes to life. We underscore this at each stage of the process, beginning with the vision meeting, where we will speak with you to understand the direction you want to go in regarding architectural styles and interior finishes. Scheduled walkthroughs are your opportunity to communicate with vendors about finishes face-to-face and assess the progress being made on your home. Furthermore, we use BuilderTrend as a reliable mode of communication to document visits and give updates to clients throughout construction.

Vision Meetings and Budget Discussions

You can get a sense of our straightforward communication style and commitment to clients’ builds during the initial consultation you have with Blythe Custom Homes and especially during the vision meeting. At this time, we launch into deep discussions with clients, leaving no stone unturned and encouraging questions about our processes so that they feel comfortable moving forward. After the vision meeting and during pre-construction, we will keep you updated on the progress of permit approval and when we are ready to break ground.

Being transparent about possibilities and additional customization based on clients’ target budgets is important, and we will make sure we are on the same page about your desired spending, particularly after getting the specifications and building costs.

Regular Onsite Walkthroughs

This reliable communication will continue throughout construction, evidenced by the many scheduled visits you will have at your building site to see how the home is progressing. At some of these walkthroughs, you may meet with vendors to confirm some of the final selections and compare possible finishes. We will invite you to the site after each major stage of construction, such as after the house is framed, the rough-ins have been installed, and the drywall has been put in, so that you can make decisions that might affect you in the future as the homeowner, like where the mechanical access points are. We invite clients to speak up about anything that appears off during these walkthroughs so that we can address possible issues promptly.

Meaningful Updates Through BuilderTrend

Walkthroughs are scheduled ahead of time to ensure your safety and comfort. To communicate outside of scheduled visits, we use the BuilderTrend app, which serves as a space where we can give you meaningful updates and document what was discussed during walkthroughs, such as selection decisions you made with vendors. You can visit BuilderTrend to jog your memory about previous happenings on the site and to see how the build is progressing when you are not physically present at the site.
