Our Custom Home Building Process

  • Initial Consultation

    During this first meeting which may include an initial site visit, we take time to understand our clients’ needs and define the overall vision for your custom home. This is where we ensure your project goals are outlined and we consider your budget, timeline and expectations.

  • Setting the Scope & Finalizing Design Plans

    If you are building a truly custom home, you are part of the decision-making process from the blueprint to the final walk through. This means a constant collaboration between the architect and designer, the home builder and homeowner. At this stage, we work together to approve the plans, finalize the budget, and determine the timeline for the build.

  • Construction Kick-Off

    Groundbreaking is the beginning of your luxury home construction process. After your lot is graded and the foundation is marked, we bring you to the site to approve the work and ensure the placement is exactly to your liking.

  • Build

    This where we get to work for you. NuHaven handles the ordering, scheduling, tradesman and every little detail needed to build your custom home. Framing in is an exciting time where the visions for your home will begin to take shape. While we work through this process, we’ll stay in constant contact with you to keep you connected and informed.

  • Walkthroughs

    Before the interior walls are drywalled, a walkthrough is completed to ensure final placements of all the rooms, closets and storage areas. When construction is complete, additional time is set aside for you to inspect the properly – including the exterior, landscaping and ground surfaces, electrical and mechanical systems, as well as the interior spaces of your home. We’ll work with you to ensure every detail and finish is complete and you’re satisfied with our work.

  • Support & Warranties

    After we turn over the keys, NuHaven will set our proactive warranty dates. That’s where we check in with you see if any areas need our attention or should be repaired. We do this because we stand behind our work and care about maintaining the highest reputation with our clients.
