Your Custom Home Journey
From first conversation to final blueprints, here’s how we bring your vision to life.
A successful residential project takes more than a good idea. It takes accurate existing conditions, creative design, clear communication, code and zoning knowledge, engineering coordination, and permit-ready plans. We bring all of those pieces together, so every step of your project feels handled.
Step 1
Initial Consultation & Discovery
Every project begins with a conversation. We sit down with you, in person or virtually, to understand your goals, your lifestyle, and your vision. The more we know upfront, the better the outcome.
What we cover:
- Discuss your vision, style preferences, and must-haves
- Review your lot, site conditions, or existing structure
- Walk through our New Home Checklist together
- Establish a realistic scope, budget range, and timeline
Step 2
New home checklist and design brief
Before pen ever touches paper, we gather every detail that matters, and confirm what Sarasota’s codes and zoning allow on your site. Our checklist ensures nothing is overlooked, minimizing revisions by getting it right from the start.
What you’ll see:
- Room-by-room requirements and preferences
- Architectural style direction: modern, coastal, and more
- Code analysis and zoning analysis for your specific lot
- Special features: outdoor living, accessory buildings, garages
Step 3
Preliminary Design
With a thorough understanding of your vision, we put pen to paper. We develop detailed floor plans and 3D renderings that bring your home to life before a single shovel hits the ground.
What we cover:
- Detailed floor plans tailored to your lifestyle
- Exterior and interior 3D renderings and photorealistic visuals
- Matterport scanning and VR walkthroughs for spatial accuracy
- Collaborative review and revision sessions
Step 4
Final Documents & Construction Ready
Once you’ve approved the design, we produce a complete, permit-ready set of construction documents, and coordinate with our trusted network of structural engineers, civil engineers, and surveyors as needed.
What you’ll see:
- Full construction drawing package
- Permit-ready documentation for local municipalities
- Contractor coordination support as needed
- Available for questions throughout the build process
