Building a Custom Home on Cape Cod:  Approach

“I don’t know where to start!” This is a common problem for customers trying to turn their dream to reality. We have listed steps to maximize your investment and simplify this experience.

1. Create a professional team before beginning the project. This team consists of you, the builder (his team of architect, interior designer, and landscape architect) or an architect, interior designer, and landscape architect of your choice.
2. The Builder, only if head of the team, can guide the team effort, ensuring the project is on time and on budget. He needs to control the process and the due dates on the schedule to insure the project comes in on time.
3. Establish clear roles, responsibilities, lines of communication and regularly scheduled meetings.
4. Develop a realistic budget for your home, understanding the Custom Home Pricing Triangle and the various fees of professionals involved.
5. Understand the design and constructions timelines.
6. Sit back, relax, and enjoy seeing your dream become a reality.

Custom homes are a huge investment where the client has one chance to do it right. The team approach will ensure a successful outcome.
