From Vision to Reality: Our Homebuilding Process

At Curington Homes, we believe building a custom home should be an exciting and seamless journey.

Our step-by-step process ensures clarity and confidence at every stage, guiding you from the first consultation to the moment we hand over the keys. With a focus on craftsmanship, transparency, and personalized service, we make your dream home a reality.

I The Design Phase: Shaping Your Vision

1. Initial Consultation

Whether in person or over the phone, our first step is to understand your lifestyle, vision, and budget. This conversation sets the stage for a successful partnership, ensuring your home is designed to fit your needs and financial goals​.

2. Design Agreement

Once we decide to move forward together, we secure a deposit to initiate the design phase​. This investment allows us to develop personalized floor plans, specifications, and pricing that reflect your vision.

3. Collaborating on Your Design

Working with our in-house design team—including drafting technicians and designers—you’ll create a home layout tailored to your lifestyle. We refine the details, start refining your finishes, and explore upgrades from our Designer Series Specifications, ensuring your home is uniquely yours​.

4. Site Evaluation and Approvals

We conduct essential surveys, soil testing, and grading evaluations to prepare for a smooth build with no surprises. If you’re still searching for the perfect homesite, we can help you find one that aligns with your goals and budget​.

5. Finalizing Plans and Budget

Once your design is complete, we determine the actual costs and present a detailed construction proposal, including your selected features and final pricing. After approval, we move into the pre-construction phase.

II Pre-Construction Phase: Preparing for Success

1. Selections Process

With the guidance of our designer, you’ll finalize details such as cabinets, flooring, countertops, appliances, and much more. Our Buildertrend online portal makes it easy to track and approve selections, ensuring everything stays on schedule​.

2. Detailed Plan Review

Before construction begins, we review finalized plans with you, incorporating any final adjustments before submission for engineering and permitting​.

3. Permitting & Pre-Construction Tasks

Your engineered plans are submitted to local permitting offices. While permits are in progress, we work with you to finalize selections and coordinate preparations to ensure a smooth transition into construction.

4. Construction Readiness & Scheduling

As permitting nears completion, we finalize the project timeline, coordinate subcontractors, and confirm all necessary materials and selections are ready to ensure a smooth transition into the building phase.

III Construction Phase: Building Your Dream Home

1. Site Preparation and Foundation

Once permits are approved, we prepare your homesite by clearing land, grading, and laying the foundation—a critical step in ensuring long-term durability​.

2. Construction and Progress Updates

From framing to final finishes, our team meticulously crafts every detail to meet your expectations. Through Buildertrend, you’ll receive regular progress updates, photos, and scheduling information. Your dedicated site Superintendent and in-office Project Coordinator will also keep you informed and be available for any questions​.

3. Walkthroughs and Adjustments

Throughout construction, you’ll participate in key walkthroughs, including an electrical, plumbing, and cabinet review to confirm outlet locations, fixture placements, and more. If changes are needed, we handle them through a structured change order process​.

IV Closing & Move-In: The Final Steps

1. Final Walkthrough & Quality Assurance

Before closing, we conduct a detailed walkthrough to ensure every detail meets our high-quality standards. Any final touch-ups are completed before move-in day.

2. Closing & Receiving Your Keys

Once all final details are approved, we guide you through closing and hand over the keys to your new home. Built to last for generations, your custom home is ready to create lasting memories!
