Build Process

A personalized, hands-on journey led by Kevin DePhillips

Initial Consultation

You begin with a personal meeting with Kevin DePhillips, the owner and contractor behind every home we create. Kevin listens to your vision, lifestyle needs, design preferences, and long-term goals. This is the start of a partnership focused on crafting a custom home that reflects you.

Homesite Review & Vision Alignment

Kevin walks your homesite with you to understand views, natural light, topography, and environment. This ensures your future home fits elegantly and naturally into its surroundings.

Custom Design & Layout Development

You collaborate directly with Kevin and our architects/design partners to create a custom home. Together, you review floor plans, elevations, room flow, materials, and lifestyle features.

Transparency & Vendor Coordination

Once the design is refined, Kevin organizes transparent pricing with our handpicked, industry-leading vendors and partners. These partners are chosen specifically for their craftsmanship, reliability, and shared commitment to excellence.

Pre-Construction Planning & Final Approval

Before breaking ground, Kevin conducts a final review with you to confirm: Construction schedule Architectural plans Material selections Engineering details Permit readiness
