The Process
RA Custom will work with you through the entire process for sure- but let’s take a quick peek at what happens during the process of making your dreams into a reality.
1. Budget.
The first step in building a home is to develop a budget. We work with a team that can help you develop a budget and who can provide construction as well as permanent financing.
2. Meeting.
After developing a budget, we recommend meeting with RA Custom Design to discuss the most important factors such as:
3. Selecting an area and a site.
It all begins with knowing exactly where you want your dream home to be built. You do not have to do this alone! Have a few places on mind? Great, let’s chat about all of them and narrow down your choices!
4. Begin to develop a conceptual design or choose one of our layouts
Need to find a great floor plan? Select from one of RA Custom Design’s models, knowing that you can modify, change or alter any model to suit your individual needs, wants, tastes, or desires.
Already have your own set of plans? GREAT! After receiving your plans & specifications, RA Custom Design will provide you with a preliminary cost to build. It’s that simple!
RA Custom Design will also build your online architectural plans as well.
5. Select a site for your new home.
With our experience, we can help guide you through the process of evaluating a site and the costs associated with building on the site.
6. Finalize the design of your new home.
LOCK in your final decision before the magic happens! You can choose from our plans and make modifications, or we can design a home just for you.
7. Make selections for the interior and exterior finishes of the home.
8. Begin construction.
We welcome you to visit the site as often as you wish during the construction process and we are ready to answer any questions you may have. We have a strong system in place to keep you update during the process.
9. Schedule a walk-through
Prior to occupancy to familiarize yourself with the operation of the systems in the home and ask any questions you may have.
10. Move in
and enjoy your new home knowing you have RA Custom Design quality built in.
QUALITY.
COMMITMENT.
TRUST.
At RA Custom Design, we believe a custom home should be more than beautifully designed — it should be thoughtfully built to stand the test of time. That is why we are committed to using quality materials, experienced craftsmen, and trusted trade professionals throughout every stage of the building process. From the initial design concept and planning phase to construction, finishes, and final walkthrough, our team approaches each home with careful attention to detail, strong project coordination, and a commitment to doing things the right way. Whether we are building on your existing lot or helping bring your vision for a new property to life, our goal is to create a home that reflects your lifestyle, your preferences, and the way you want to live for years to come. We also understand that building a custom home is a major investment, which is why we value clear communication, realistic timelines, and a building experience that keeps our clients informed and confident throughout the process. The quality of our work is reflected not only in the homes we build today, but also in the RA Custom Design homes completed years ago that continue to maintain their beauty, character, and craftsmanship. We take pride in creating homes our clients are proud to call their own — homes designed with purpose, built with care, and made to create lasting memories for generations.
