Deciding to start designing and building a Custom home is often pushed until after the holiday season. It is typically after homeowners have hosted extended friends and family for holiday parties or dinners do they realize their desire for more space. What most people are unaware of is that the design, planning, and permitting process takes a few months, so the right time to start your custom home build or pop top addition is now.

We know there can be lots of stress around the holidays, so why add a big project to your plate? Here at Paradigm, we make the custom home design and build experience as smooth as possible. Our team is comprised of reliable custom home builders that take the time to listen to your needs to help you construct the home you’ve always wanted. Our strategic design/build services have allowed residents to create and live in comfortable homes suited to their needs. Below is what you should expect when working with Professional Custom home builders and what you should prepare before the first initial meeting.  

First Meeting

In the first meeting, Professional home builders will develop a better understanding of what you are looking for in your dream home through an open discussion or face-to-face consultation. From creating a design to making sure it’s within range of your budget, having an open line of communication on both ends will ensure that you get the most out of your custom home build experience. To make the entire design and build process easier and affordable, it’s recommended that you come prepared with a design plan in mind for your home. If you are unsure of how to go about designing your own custom home, Paradigm offers pre-designed floor plans that allow you to make small alterations that are within a reasonable price range. This way, the design and build process can be tailored around the homeowners needs without breaking the bank.

Pre-Construction

Before construction can even start, all the appropriate building permits must be obtained. Depending on the location of your custom home and your design, the length of time it takes to retrieve permissions may vary. Once you have the permissions required and have finalized interior and exterior designs, you are one step closer to starting the construction phase. The pre-construction phase can take anywhere from three to six months to complete. The length of this process depends on the design plan and how long it takes to obtain a permit. At this point in the building process, you will have a better understanding of how long construction will take and what to expect for the remainder of the design/build process.

Construction

When the wall structures finally go up on your new home, you will finally start to see what has only been on paper for months, which makes the effort worth it. Depending on the size of the home that’s being built, the actual construction process will take about 8 to 16 months to complete. Paradigm Building Group has professional project managers that are customer-oriented and genuinely care about making sure you are comfortable with each design and build choice that’s being made. Although the construction process is often the longest, it is the most rewarding to see what a combination of your imagination and the assistance of a professional custom home builder can do.
