Initial Consultation
Our process begins with an initial consultation where we get to know each other. During this meeting, we will discuss the goals of your project and answer any questions about our design and construction process you may have. We will determine if KCE Homes is a good fit for your home building project and if it is, we will work together to establish a targeted budget.
Plans
We can help you design your dream home, or we can use established plans. Custom home designs are an additional cost to be factored into the budget. There are three steps in the home plan design:
Conceptual Drawings
Basic preliminary floor plan design and elevations sketch to convey overall intent and flow of design.
Hardline Concept
Once conceptual drawings are approved, real dimensions and elevations are developed. At this stage, we will review your plans in 2-D electronically, and you can get a better visualization of spaces and overall exterior view of home.
Construction Plans
This set includes a fully dimensioned floor plan and elevation along with a foundation plan and electrical plan.
Vision Meeting
This is the fun stuff. We go through a questionnaire and interview so that your vision, style, wants and needs are understood by KCE Custom Homes. We want to look at homes you’ve found online, pictures of features you love, and discuss anything else that helps us meet your goals during the home building process. From designing your dream closet to your perfect Casita, we will work with your ideas to accomplish your vison.
Specifications and Building Costs
We will create and discuss detailed specifications and a budget that outlines all the aspects of construction. Realistically, it’s difficult to make all decisions at this point, and we understand that. We are experts in our field and can undoubtedly adapt as we go along, but the more that gets decided upon during this phase, the less the risk of going over your budget. If a preconstruction decision cannot be made, we can help determine accurate allowances for you with our quality vendors and trades.
Preconstruction
We will schedule a meeting with you at your home site to discuss orientation of the house, placement of house, and conduct a land evaluation (what trees need to be taken down and other prepping). We also will prepare a plot plan showing your future home on the property.
Construction
During construction, we have multiple walkthroughs with you. Additionally, you will meet with our experienced team of subcontractors and vendors to discuss plumbing, lighting, cabinets, paint, and more. You will meet with our team as many times necessary throughout the process to finalize selections and allow you to make good decisions on features that are important to you. Once we have completed construction, we will do a final walkthrough to inspect your
new home.
