There are many decisions to be made when you’re building a custom home.  In our model home, we have set up a Design Center to help home buyers select options to customize their houses to fit their personality and budget.  Clients will be able to compare cabinet finishes and styles, flooring and much more.  Builder design centers are a great resource for home buyers. A good design center can also help clients estimate the cost of upgrade options so they can better estimate their final budget.

At your design appointment, we’ll review your standard features that will be included in your custom home and then allow you to make selections on the following customizable items:

  • Kitchen and Bath Cabinets
  • Granite Countertops
  • Kitchen Backsplash
  • Appliances
  • Flooring
  • Ceramic tile
  • Powder Bath Selections
  • Custom Cabinetry (built-ins, wet bars, etc)
  • Interior Paint
  • Interior Trim
  • Stairs
  • Fireplace & Mantels
  • Door Hardware
  • Bath Accessories
  • Shower Enclosures
  • Lighting
  • High Tech Wiring

Design Center Frequently Asked Questions

How long does my design center appointment last?

Well, it depends! We’re not a cookie cutter builder where we can predict the time it will take to plan the finishes and design of your home. Some appointments take a few hours. Some may take a few appointments over a few days, and may even take us offsite! Our discovery process will help determine just how comprehensive the design phase needs to be.

When will I know the cost of my finishes?

After all finishes and customizations are selected, we begin working on your final price for your build. Some selections might be market price, for example natural stone countertops or specialty tile. Since we work with you one on one, we can make adjustments up until items need to be ordered. This also means pricing is tailored, too.

Do you have home finish samples?

Of course! We have samples of some popular finish options. However, the fun part of being fully custom is we can explore non standard finishes off site to make the home uniquely yours. There is no set library of finishes to choose from.
