Your Custom Home Journey
Step 1 — Discovery Call
It all begins with a conversation. A short call helps us understand your goals, budget, and vision for your home. We’ll answer your first questions and explain how the process works.
Step 2 — Meet with Our Team
Next, you’ll meet with the Stonewater Homes team. With decades of experience in custom home design and construction, we’ll guide you through the early stages—from choosing the right lot to shaping your first design ideas.
Step 3 — Choosing the Right Lot
The land you build on matters. We’ll walk you through everything to consider: zoning, grading, soil conditions, setbacks, and utilities. This ensures your dream home fits perfectly on the lot and avoids costly surprises later
Step 4 — Design and Planning
Together, we’ll create a home that balances beauty, functionality, and long-term value. Our design experts will refine your plans until everything feels right. Then, we’ll prepare a turnkey price that includes land, home, taxes, and fees—no hidden surprises.
Step 5 — Permits and Paperwork
We’ll handle the details—septic approvals, building permits, surveys, and contracts—so the process is smooth and stress-free.
Step 6 — Construction Begins
This is where your vision comes to life. From foundation to finishes, our trusted trades and suppliers work with precision and care. You’ll be involved in selecting flooring, cabinetry, paint colors, and more. Regular updates and walkthroughs keep you informed every step of the way.
Step 7 — Walkthrough and Keys
Before you move in, we’ll complete a detailed walkthrough together, making sure everything meets your expectations. Once complete, you’ll receive your keys and step into your new custom home with confidence.
