Northern Utah's choice forCustom Homes and Remodels

The introductory stage of the custom home design process is all about finding the vision of your home. This is also the time to cover all your expectations and budget targets to ensure the experience is as easy and as enjoyable as possible. Our home builder team will also help you create a timeline for the remaining stages of the custom home process. Our main goal here in the beginning is to educate our customers and ensure you understand the process before moving forward.

Following the first step, the reins are then passed on to the design team to begin creating your vision of your home based on your notes provided during Phase 1. You will work very closely with our home builder team to ensure every part of your custom home design is exactly the way you envisioned. First, an “aerial” view of your home’s floor plan will be drawn up followed by the exterior and interior evaluations. Each of these need approval before moving on to the next step of the design process. This is also the time to make changes and add anything else you want for your home, therefore a lot of communication is required.

During the proposal stage, the preliminary set of plans that were created during the design phase are used to set the price of the home as designed. The price of the home depends on several factors. If the features exceed the preliminary budget discussed in the very beginning, the plans can go back to Phase 2 for adjustment. At this point, the plans can be purchased and the construction set may be finalized.

Once the building contract is executed, a detailed construction set will be developed and need to be signed and approved. Once signed this set becomes the final plans and is used through construction for our build team to master the dimensions and details, to continue the vision of your dream home. Engineering plans, such as framing and foundation will also be developed following the signing of the final plans. A high quality foundation design is also created to ensure the home remains structurally sound for many years to come.

If needed, our home builder team can also assist with HOA/ACC application submission. Then when all approvals have been received, your custom home will finally move into the construction stages.

Once everything is prepared and plans have been created and approved, it is finally time to break ground! There will again be a lot of communication with our ColeVal home builder team to keep you updated about our progress. While you may not always see activity at your home site, you can rest assured that our teams are always working on something for the overall build of your home. We follow a general outline for the order of progress with our custom home builds, click “learn more” or contact us for more information about this order.

When construction is complete, our team will walk you through the final result and identify any punch list items and key features. Your satisfaction and excitement for your new home is important to us and we love seeing the reactions to our work.
