We begin every project with a complimentary consultation designed to understand your vision, goals, and budget.  During this meeting, we discuss your ideas, answer initial questions, and outline realistic options based on your needs.  Our experience allows us to identify potential challenges early and provide practical guidance from the start.  This no-pressure consultation helps ensure clarity, alignment, and confidence before moving forward.  It's the first step toward a well-planned successful project 

Before moving forward, we work with you to establish a clear, realistic, and fully vetted project budget.  This includes confirming overall investment comfort, reviewing funding sources, and aligning expectations for land, construction, and allowances.  When applicable, lender pre-approval or proof of funds helps ensure the project is financially viable from the outset.  A clearly approved budget allows us to design efficiently, make informed decisions, and move forward with confidence and purpose.  

Whether the land is already owned or still being acquired, we conduct a comprehensive assessment to confirm that the property is suitable for development.  As licensed real estate brokers, we can help you find and buy land when you need it.  For existing properties, our land specialists evaluate accessibility, utilities, zoning considerations, and overall site conditions.  We identify all costs required to prepare the land for construction, including utility connections and development-related expenses.  This due diligence ensures the site aligns with the approved budget and supports a smooth path to construction. 

We work closely with each client to review our extensive collection of pre-drawn home plans to determine if an existing design can be modified to match their vision, needs, and lifestyle.  Many clients find that starting with a proven plan allows for efficiency while still offering meaningful customization.  When a suitable plan is not available, we coordinate with our trusted architects to design a fully custom home from the ground up.  Throughout the process, we focus on functionality, aesthetics, and budget alignment.  The result is a plan that is both personal and build-ready. 

Before construction, we conduct a detailed pre-construction meeting to review all required permits, associated costs, and the approval process with local zoning authorities.  During this session, we explain how permits are obtained, how fees are handled, and the timeline leading up to the start of construction.  We coordinate the permitting process on your behalf, ensuring all documentation and approvals are properly managed.  This meeting also gives you a chance to address any remaining questions or updates that may have come up during earlier phases.  The goal is complete clarity and readiness before breaking ground.  

Breaking Ground marks the official start of construction and transition from planning to building.  Once the site is fully prepared and permits are approved, our team begins construction, with all timelines and expectations clearly established.  The build duration will vary based on the home's size, design, and complexity, and will be reviewed with the builder and client in advance.  From foundation through final construction walk-through, we manage the entire process with consistent communication and attention to detail. This phase brings your vision to life as your home takes shape from the ground up.

This final phase brings every step of the process together, culminating in the completion of your new home and the formal handover.  With hundreds of homes built throughout the Lowcountry, our team has developed a clear, step-by-step approach that makes the building process simpler and more predictable.  We manage the details, coordination, and execution, allowing you to focus on envisioning and personalizing your home.  Throughout the journey, we remain a constant guide, communicating clearly and advocating for your interests. The result is a seamless transition from construction to homeownership, delivered with confidence and care.  "Welcome Home"!
