It is our belief that no hidden surprises or unpleasant occurrences should happen while building a custom, and as your single point of contact for the entire project, we keep you in the loop every step of the way.
Planning and Custom Home Design
The first step is the planning and design phase, where the custom homebuilding process truly begins. You may have blueprints already drawn up and a site selected, or you may be starting completely from scratch. In any case, this first phase of planning and design is where your dreams will begin to take shape. Bailey Custom Builders begins with an initial consultation to discuss your desires, budget, timeline, and other unique preferences for the project. If site selection and architectural designs are part of the process for you, that will be the next step. Bailey Custom Builders will take the journey with you, reviewing every potential site, as well as each location’s pros and cons. Similarly, we work together on the design to ensure that every aspect of your vision is accounted for.
Budgeting and Permitting for a Custom Home Jackson, MS
While budget is part and parcel of the above process, once the site selection and blueprints are designed, the budget can truly become detailed. We will provide a detailed breakdown of cost, materials, labor, permitting fees, and every other aspect required in a custom build. Our local custom home contractor will also work on obtaining all the necessary permits and approvals. The goal is always to keep you free of handling the stressful details. As such, we work with our established network of connections to pave the way for proper permitting.
Site Preparation and Exterior Work on a Custom Home
Excavation, clearing, and grading of your home’s site are often required for construction to begin unless the site you’ve selected is already prepared. Foundation work is the next phase, ensuring that all the proper precautions have been taken to create a solid foundation, completed to specs, to ensure that the groundwork for your custom home is strong and stable. Next comes the skeleton of the home and exterior features such as windows, roofing, and doors. These are added to protect your home from the elements while the interior is being completed.
Interior and Custom Home Finishes
Next comes plumbing, electrical, HVAC, insulation, drywall, and any other systems that will run your home. Ceilings and walls are prepared for finishing work and then interior finishes are completed. This is typically where the fun truly begins for you, the custom home owner. Seeing the installation of every material and finish you carefully selected is thrilling – and you can see the entire home truly begin to take shape.
Final Custom Home Walkthrough Checklist
Lastly, are the finishing touches and final walk-through. Bailey Custom Builders conduct a thorough final inspection with a comprehensive checklist for building codes and quality standards. Then, you will walk through the home with us to review and ensure every part of your home has been built exactly as you desired. We will make any edits or fixes necessary, and lastly we’ll both sign off. All that remains after that is to hand you the key and your custom home is ready for move-in!
