Type of Custom Homes Services
Build on Your Own Lot
We’ll look at the property’s layout, access, views, and overall site conditions to help plan a home that makes the most of its surroundings. From positioning the home for natural light to creating a connection with the outdoors, the property becomes part of the design.
Tear Down and Rebuild
A teardown and rebuild gives you the opportunity to stay in a location you love while creating a home designed around your needs today. We’ll review the existing property, explore what can be built, and help you understand what’s involved.
Our Custom Home Building Process
1. Discovery
It all starts with your wish list. A bungalow or two-story home? More room for a growing family or a smaller space for your next chapter? We’ll talk through what you want your home to be, what matters most to you, and the features you’d love to include. From there, we’ll help you understand what’s possible and how to make the most of your space and budget.
2. Custom Floor Plans and Space Planning
Next, we bring your ideas to life with custom floor plans. We’ll fine-tune the layout, room sizes, and flow, using 3D visualizations to help you picture your home before construction begins. During this stage, we’ll also finalize the design and confirm your project pricing.
3. Interior Design and Material Selections
Now for the finishing touches that make your home uniquely yours. Our in-house interior designers will help you choose cabinetry, countertops, flooring, tile, lighting, plumbing fixtures, hardware, and colors. We’ll consider how every selection works together to create a cohesive look throughout your home.
4. Construction and Project Management
It’s time to bring your new home to life. Our experienced carpenters, dedicated project manager, and trusted trade partners coordinate every stage of construction. From scheduling and inspections to the final walkthrough, we’ll keep you informed and make sure the details are completed with the care and craftsmanship Stier is known for.
