How It Works
A clear, step-by-step process so you always know what to expect — from the first call to project completion.
- 1. Discovery & Design — We start with your wishlist, lot characteristics, and budget to develop a preliminary floor plan. Our design-build model means architecture, engineering, and construction are coordinated from day one.
- 2. Permitting & Pre-Construction — We submit complete permit packages to the applicable county, handle all plan reviews and revision cycles, and coordinate utility connections and site preparation while permits are in review.
- 3. Foundation & Framing — Slab, stem-wall, or stilt foundation is constructed to engineered specifications. Framing proceeds with lumber or concrete block (CBS) construction common to Southwest Florida's wind-zone requirements.
- 4. Systems & Enclosure — Electrical, plumbing, HVAC, and insulation are roughed in and inspected before drywall closes the walls. Windows, exterior doors, and roofing are installed to weatherproof the structure.
- 5. Finishes & Handover — Interior finishes — flooring, cabinetry, countertops, paint, trim, and fixtures — are completed and a final inspection is passed before you receive your keys and move-in documentation.
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about our new construction & custom projects services in Southwest Florida.
How long does it take to build a custom home in Southwest Florida?
A typical custom single-family home in Cape Coral or Fort Myers takes ten to sixteen months from permit issuance to certificate of occupancy, depending on size, finish level, and county inspection scheduling.
What is a design-build contractor?
A design-build firm handles both the architectural design and construction under a single contract. This eliminates the common miscommunication between a separate architect and builder, reduces change orders, and keeps your project on budget.
Do I need to own land before starting?
Yes. We can advise on lot selection — particularly regarding flood zone, utility access, and setback constraints — but you will need a secured lot before we can finalize plans and begin permitting.
Can you build additions to an existing home rather than a full new build?
Absolutely. Major additions — second stories, garage conversions, in-law suites, and large room additions — are within our scope and go through a similar permitting and construction process as new construction.
