There are several steps in designing a custom home, as you can see below. A lot of these items are happening in the background during a design so our clients can focus on the fun stuff, designing and choosing what goes in your home. We generally say that to get from concept to a finalized design that is ready to secure a building permit generally takes anywhere between 4 months for Architecture and Engineering to submit to the building department and 4-12 months to get through permitting review and permit approval. This is heavily dependent on the size and type of project.

The time to build a custom home depends on many factors such as site development, size of home, complexity of the build and a client’s ability to make timely decisions. Additionally, weather can affect how long it takes to build. A general time frame to build a custom home based on size are: 2,000-5,000 sq ft: 12-13months 5,000-8,000 sq ft: 13-18months 8,000-10,000+ sq ft: 18-22 months+

A design/build contractor is a turn-key home delivery company where a single entity delivers the design and construction of a home. Having a cohesive team of experts at every stage of the design and build of a new home helps the client design a project that is feasible to actually build from a logistics and budget perspective.

Yes. Even though we are a design & build company we will gladly build a home designed by another architect. We strongly urge you to consider using our design team though to help keep you within budget and to make sure everything is designed to local building codes.

Communication is established to the client’s preference. Some like to communicate by phone, by email, by text, or in-person.

We are asked this question nearly every day. Because every LUX Builders design and build is unique unto itself it is nearly impossible to answer this.

While there are many aspects of our business that always makes us the best choice, there are three things that make us stand out the most. Our unique bidding/estimation strategy is one of a kind and provides our clients with the maximum amount of transparency while providing them with unparalleled flexibility. We have spent hundreds of hours and tens of thousands of dollars on researching and implementing technology that makes the whole construction process more streamlined and easy to track. From communication technology to scheduling calendars, our clients will always know what is happening at their project no matter when or where they are. About 80% of the labor on our clients' projects is sub-contracted. This isobviously not unique, however, having been involved in the industry foralmost two decades we have built relationships with people who do whatthey say they will do. Additionally, we will only use sub-contractors whohave successfully completed multiple projects for us or have been referredto us directly! They are also all licensed and insured as necessary.
