A Clear Path From First Call to Move-In
Our home building process keeps decisions simple and progress steady—whether you’re planning a new custom home in Medford or a large remodel near Bend. The custom home construction process we follow is transparent, collaborative, and designed for Oregon timelines, so you always know what’s next.
Step 1: Initial Consultation & Planning
We start with your goals, style, and timeline—then help you find and evaluate the right lot. If needed, we’ll connect you with trusted lenders who specialize in construction loans.
Step 2: Design & Budgeting
Our in-house team (or your architect) develops plans and elevations while we refine allowances and interior selections. As designs progress, we update a line-item estimate so square footage, finishes, and features match the budget.
Step 3: Permitting & Approvals
With plans and budget set, we manage permits and approvals, HOA reviews, engineering, and lender coordination for your construction loan.
Step 4: Construction Phase
We move from foundation to framing, rough-ins, finishes, and trim. A site supervisor manages daily work, schedules trades, and provides safe site access for you to visit.
Step 5: Walkthrough & Completion
Before closing out, we walk the home together to note any touch-ups. We also review system basics—smart home features, maintenance points, and owner manuals—so move-in is smooth.
Simple Habits That Keep Projects Moving
Keep a shared idea folder, attend
regular check-ins, and jot questions between meetings. Whether you’re
building in Medford or
Redmond, Bend, timely decisions help us stay on schedule and avoid
lead-time gaps from rush orders or delays.

What Homeowners Ask Us Most
Your Home Construction Questions, Answered
What construction timeline can I expect in Oregon?
Timelines vary based on design complexity, weather, and permit delays—but typically, custom home builds take 6 to 12 months from groundbreaking to move-in in Oregon’s climate and regulatory environment.
Are off-season builds feasible in Oregon?
Yes. While winter weather and rain can extend timelines by a few weeks, experienced builders can plan around seasonal variations—sequencing work and materials to keep construction moving even in off-peak seasons.
How does the permitting timeline affect the overall build?
Permitting can take 4 to 8 weeks depending on local jurisdiction and project complexity. Building with an experienced custom home team helps streamline these approvals and reduce delays.
Can I build exactly what I want—like intricate designs or smart home systems?
Frequent breakdowns, rising energy bills, and systems over 15 years old may signal it’s time to replace. We’ll give you a clear recommendation based on what’s best for your home and budget.
Why build custom instead of buying a pre-built home?
You’ll have broad flexibility to shape your home’s layout, finishes, and technology—but some ideas may require adjustments for budget, site conditions, or building codes. We’ll work with you to integrate features like advanced lighting controls, energy-efficient systems, or custom architectural details where they make sense and perform well over time.
