What Decisions Do You Make for a New Custom House in Lake Murray, SC?
You get to make all the decisions when planning a custom house in Lake Murray. We will help you think of every detail, from how large of a house you need to the architectural styles that resonate with you.
Size
Building a custom family home means you can make it as large as you want. Tell us how many bedrooms and bathrooms you need to fit your family comfortably. Tell us if you need multiple offices, an entertainment room, an in-law basement apartment, or a large pantry off the kitchen. You may need more square footage than you thought, and we can show you base plans of different sizes so you can make an informed decision.
Finishes
You also get to choose all the finishes for your new custom home. This is many decisions in and of itself. You’ll decide on trim, cabinetry, lighting fixtures, hardware, appliances, and more. We encourage you to make most of your selections early on so we can get detailed building costs. Some finishes you can decide as construction continues and you see your new home come to life.
HVAC, Plumbing, and Electrical Placements
There are many practical decisions to make, like where you want the HVAC, plumbing, and electrical placements to be. They should be easy to access, and you can point out your preferred locations in the early phases of construction.
Floor Plan
Homeowners who build custom houses also get to devise the floor plan. Do you prefer an expansive, open-concept layout? How do you want the bedrooms arranged? Where do you want the bathrooms placed? What about the staircase? Let us help you figure out the most practical floor plan for a custom build in Lake Murray.
Aesthetics
You also get to choose the general aesthetic of your home. Tell us your design influences, styles you love, and how you want your house to look. We can ensure a cohesive aesthetic throughout your home, from the exterior to the interior.
Home Orientation
Building a house from the ground up means you can choose how it sits on the lot. We can help you choose the best orientation and add the necessary access roadways. Use this as an opportunity to take advantage of a good view, so let us survey your land for the best one.
Landscaping and Outdoor Features
Before we can start building your custom home, we need to ensure the land is suitable to build on. If it is undeveloped, we may have to remove trees, add dirt, and do other land improvements. Tell us which trees you want to keep or possibly add back after construction, especially if that was a reason you bought the property.
You can also prioritize designing an outdoor space you and your family will enjoy, like an entire outdoor kitchen in your backyard. Of course, you may also love to have a custom pool, which we can take care of for you, ourselves, as well.
Architectural Style
Tell us if a specific architectural style appeals to you, from traditional to farmhouse to modern. Pitched roofs, large windows, and other elements add intrigue and curb appeal and can make your home feel totally unique.
Budget
You also get to set your preferred budget for a custom home. Identify which items are must-haves for you, like a specific quartz countertop of the fully equipped outdoor kitchen. We will finalize the budget with you before breaking ground, ensuring you are comfortable with the total amount. We can also make creative allowances from the budget in anticipation of future decisions.
What Happens During Construction on My New Custom Home in Lake Murray?
We keep you in the loop while building your custom home in Lake Murray, inviting you on scheduled walkthroughs, sending updates through BuilderTrend, and helping you make all final selections. Communication is always a top priority, especially when clients invest so much into their new home builds.
Progress Walkthroughs
We invite homebuyers on progress walkthroughs as construction continues. Each time we complete a major step, like adding the rough-ins or installing the drywall, you can come to the site for a scheduled visit. You will be met with an organized and clean construction site and can assess the progress being made. You can also ask any questions during walkthroughs or bring up concerns.
Updates Through BuilderTrend
On the days you do not have scheduled walkthroughs of your new home build, you can get updates through BuilderTrend. This is an app we use to document decisions you make and send importation information. BuilderTrend keeps the lines of communication open during construction, giving homeowners a way to contact us quickly and easily.
Final Selections
Clients may make some final selections during construction as well. Subcontractors and vendors may be present on some walkthroughs to show options for lighting fixtures, tile, or hardware. These final selections may make all the difference, and we can help you decide.
