How to Get Inspired to Build a New Custom Home in Forest Acres, SC
Before you start designing a new custom home with us, get inspired. Look at photos of houses you love, search the internet for styles and aesthetics that speak to you, and do whatever else you need to get a general idea of what you want the final product to look like.
Take into account the area you plan to build, too. Forest Acres is a largely wooded area, and we can plan anything from a contemporary home to a custom cabin that is modern, more traditional, or veers into whatever other aesthetic you prefer. Check out our gallery to see some of our work ranging from Mediterranean to Traditional, Modern Farmhouse, Colonial, or Modern Tudor, and more.
Clients should always feel free to bring inspiration photos with them to consultations with us so we can see what styles, colors, or aesthetics resonate with them.
How Do You Start Designing a New Custom Home?
To start planning a new custom home in Forest Acres, reach out to us. Not only can we bring custom home plans to life, but we can also modify any of the base plans in our portfolio to better suit you and your family.
During what we call the “vision meeting,” we ask detailed questions to learn what you need in your house and what items are on your wish list. From there, we can create basic preliminary floor plans, which we can further refine to match your expectations.
What Customizations Can You Include in Your New Build in Forest Acres, SC?
With our help, you can customize a new home for you and your family as much as you want. Whether you wish to alter one of our pre-engineered base plans or want to design something completely new from the ground up, let us help you creatively include the customizations you desire.
Functional customizations include designated laundry rooms, built-in storage, larger kitchens, and energy-efficient elements. You can also customize your home to match your exact aesthetic preferences, whether that is a specific historical style or modern take.
In addition to customizing major aspects of the house, such as the number of bedrooms and bathrooms and square footage, you can also customize small aspects that will affect you day to day. For example, you can make the bathroom off of your primary bedroom fit for a spa day, with a large shower and roomy soaking tub.
Tell us what customizations you want to include in the new build. We can inform you of what is possible based on your target budget and ideal timeline. We can incorporate allowances into your budget, allowing you to decide whether to proceed with some custom finishes further into the construction process.
When Will You Start Construction on a New Custom South Carolina Home?
You cannot start construction on a new custom home until the land improvements are complete and the house plans are finalized. Based on the amount of work required to make the lot suitable for building, the permits needed, and other factors, we can estimate when you are likely to break ground on the project.
Never rush making land improvements or finalizing house plans. Keep in mind that bigger, more unique homes may take a bit longer to lay out and plan, because of the large square footage and number of rooms. Take your time reviewing the preliminary floor plans, virtual walkthroughs, and other plans we provide, and only approve plans that you are completely happy with.
Common necessary land improvements include fortifying land, grading soil, removing trees and other landscaping, adding access roads, and even creating retaining walls. Once land improvements are done, the site should be ready for construction.
What Happens During Construction on a New Custom Home in Forest Acres, SC?
Clients should feel involved in the construction process for their custom homes in Forest Acres, which is why we hold regular walkthroughs of active construction sites. Scheduled walkthroughs are better than unannounced visits, as active construction sites should be prepared to ensure safety properly.
During a walkthrough, you get to see all the progress we have made on the custom build. Walkthroughs are typical after we complete each big construction phase, like laying the foundation, framing the house, and adding the rough-ins.
On walkthroughs, you also get to meet with vendors to discuss final selections. While we encourage clients to select finishes earlier in the process, we also understand that some decisions cannot be made until they see their vision start to come to life.
During construction, we keep building sites secure and treat your building materials with the respect they deserve. We also encourage clients to reach out with questions whenever they arise through the BuilderTrend app, which we can swiftly address. And we’ll keep you completely up-to-date on your home’s progress there as well.
