The Custom Homes Process
Consultation
At Custom Homes in Saint Paul, MN, we offer free consultations to evaluate and provide cost analysis. We can come to your home, or you can come to us! At our initial meeting, we will discuss the process, next steps, rough estimating, and the timeline of your project.
Rough Estimate
One of the most frequent questions we get is how you can get an idea of the cost before investing any money. Our team has years of rough estimating projects. Our team can provide you with a rough estimate of your project so you can decide if it makes financial sense to move forward to the next steps.
PlanNING & Design
If you don’t have plans for your project, don’t worry we can help! We have built relationships with many professional design firms, or you can use our in-house design team. We can be involved during the design phase to help decrease costs without compromising quality.
Final Bidding
Custom Homes is a “cost plus open book” contractor. Why is this unique? Unlike many in the industry, subcontractor quotes are uploaded directly for you to review. This makes everything visible and transparent for your approval. You receive our full builder discount pricing direct from our vendors with no hidden markups. During the final bidding process our team will dissect costs in a spreadsheet format to ensure you’re receiving the best possible price from our preferred vendors.
Online Software
Make selections easy without the stress. Our online software keeps the process simple, fun, and flexible. The software we use is customized for each client and keeps track of all communication, selections, accurate financials, and a solid paper trail. There’s even an app for your phone!
Scheduling
Keep track of your project progress with our scheduling system. We customize each schedule specific for every client and the entire project is laid out on a chart daily, weekly, and monthly so you’re not left in the dark when it comes to progress on your home.
