Step by Step

How We Build Your Home

01

Free Consultation

Sit down with Mark to talk through your ideas, your must-haves, your budget and your timeline. There’s no cost and no pressure.

02

Land and Financing

Don’t own land yet? We work with many developers and can help you find the right lot. Most banks will let you package the land and home in one loan.
  • As little as 5% down with some of the banks we work with
  • Land you already own can count toward your down payment

03

Design Your Plan

Start from one of our floor plans or design something new. Our drafters turn your ideas into a plan, and because we design and build together, nothing gets lost between architect and builder.

04

Contract

Once the plan is set, we put it under contract. It isn’t set in stone: a simple change order lets you make changes along the way.

05

Build

We break ground and build with local subcontractors and suppliers who treat your home like their own. Mark isn’t just the general contractor. He’s on site with a tool belt on, framing, siding, insulating, hanging drywall and painting alongside the crew.
  • We build year-round, winter included
  • Most homes under 2,000 sq ft are built in under 4½ months from breaking ground

06

Move In

We walk through the finished home together and hand you the keys. We want you happy on move-in day and for the many years you live there.

No. We work with many developers and can help you find the property you’d like your new home built on. Most banks will also let you package the land and home mortgage together in the same loan.
Absolutely not. Some of the banks we work with require as little as 5% down. If you already own a piece of property, it can count toward your down payment.
We love to. Working with our drafters, we turn your ideas into the floor plan of your dreams. Because we handle design and build together, you get better communication and a better final result than working with a separate architect and builder.
Always. A simple change order lets you make the changes you want. Nothing is set in stone once the contract is signed. We want you happy on move-in day and for the many years you live in your home.
Definitely. We build year-round. In the winter months we take the necessary steps so your home is built with the same quality as one built in spring, summer or fall.
Every home is a little different, so every timeline is too. Most homes under 2,000 square feet are built in under 4½ months from the time we break ground.
We take pride in our work from the first consultation to well after you move in, and we expect the same from our suppliers and subcontractors. We build every home as if it were our own, and we try to be honest, fair, up front and transparent so there are no surprises. Unlike most builders, Mark is more than a general contractor. He puts on a tool belt himself for framing, siding, insulation, drywall and painting. It’s how we keep quality high and builds moving. We don’t build houses. We build homes.
