Our Process

Having a baseline of what to expect when you work with us is helpful. Here, you'll find a step-by-step guide to our process and see how every step is designed to give you the best experience possible. Let's begin with step 1.  

1. Initial Consultation 

Your journey begins with an in-depth consultation, during which we discuss your vision, budget, and lifestyle needs. It's important for us to know your total budget, including your financial hard cap. 

If you're remodeling your home, we’ll outline expectations, establish timelines, and navigate local building codes. With a remodel, we already have these details and can go over them earlier. With a custom home, these specifics depend on what site you choose. 

2. Site Selection

When you're building a custom home, location is everything. We help you evaluate land all over Utah, ensuring access to utilities, compliance with zoning laws, and breathtaking views. We also advise on growth trends and landscape orientation to maximize natural light, comfort, and curb appeal.

As we work to identify the right lot for your needs, we can help you understand each neighborhood's lifestyle and the building viability of each lot. We'll also discuss site-specific factors like the climate, zoning regulations, and access issues.

If you need a remodel, we already know where we're working. We will assess your home’s structure and layout and determine the best ways to upgrade it while keeping the features you love.

3. Design Phase

For both custom homes and remodels, we collaborate with architects and interior designers to develop a plan that blends practical elements with beauty and the latest in design.

Our team builds spaces to maximize beauty, efficiency, and flow, incorporating high-end finishes, custom cabinetry, and smart home technology in your renovation or custom home. In the design phase, you work with designers and architects to find a design that suits your lifestyle.

You can use a favorite designer or work with one of the award-winning professionals we've built relationships with over time and who specialize in the specific style you are looking for.

4. Selections and pricing

We collaborate with you and your designer as you choose materials, lighting, appliances, features, and finishes suited for your budget and Utah’s climate. Our team works hard to match all finishes for home renovations, blending the new addition into the old structure.

With the bids in place, you can approve what selections you want and which ones you want to change. Once all the choices are finalized, we'll give you your final price. The cost of a luxury custom home in Utah varies based on individual factors, but we use a fixed builder's fee agreement to give you a clear, unchanging quote early on.

5. Permitting & Approvals

Before work begins, we secure all necessary permits and approvals to keep you in compliance with Utah’s luxury home building and remodeling regulations. From zoning requirements to HOA approvals, we handle the details so you can focus on the excitement of your new build or remodel.

We expertly navigate additional permitting challenges in cases of historical home remodels or environmentally sensitive areas. If an issue requires expertise, we'll take care of it. 

6. Construction phase

With permits in place, our skilled trade partners begin construction. For new homes, this starts with site prep and foundation work, while remodels begin with demolition and structural improvements. Every project has a dedicated site superintendent, which means you'll always have a direct point of contact for any questions. 

You can watch as your home or project materializes from ideas and designs into a custom home or new renovation. We'll provide regular updates, scheduled site visits, and project tracking through project management software so you're always informed.

Construction is often the most exciting part because you can see your home or remodeling project finally being built. 

7. Inspections & Quality Assurance

Before the handover, we conduct detailed inspections to ensure your home meets our highest quality standards. We meticulously check every element, from HVAC, plumbing, and electrical systems to cosmetic details. Any adjustments needed are completed before you move in, ensuring your home is perfect from the first day.

8. The Final Walkthrough

In this last phase, we walk through your home together, checking to see that all the agreed-upon features are in place and meet your expectations. We review appliance warranties, maintenance tips, and project particulars, ensuring you’re fully prepared to enjoy your new space.

9. Move-In & Warranty

With construction complete, it’s time to settle into your new custom home or remodel. We remain available for any post-move-in questions, providing ongoing support to ensure your new home or remodel exceeds expectations. We offer a 1-year warranty on all our projects, with the option to add a 10-year warranty. We want you to feel confident in our work. 

Whether you’re moving into a newly built custom home or unveiling a stunning luxury remodel, we’re committed to making the process smooth and rewarding. Browse our gallery and imagine what's possible when you work with our expert team.
