At Envision Contracting, we've developed an effective process that provides a first-class building experience from start to finish.

Here's what to expect in an initial meeting:

1. House Plan Analysis

   This discussion of your house plans or architectural renderings will help us better understand your needs. If your house plans are in-process but not yet finalized, we can work with you through the final steps. If you’re still searching for the best plans, that works, too. We’d love to have a look at your ideas.

2. DISCUSSION OF OUR PROCESS AND SOFTWARE

   We’ll provide you the big picture of what it’s like to build a custom home with us and why our software improves the process.

3. STARTING YOU OFF IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION

   This initial meeting provides you solid direction for next steps in the process of building your custom home. If you need draftsman or architect references, we have them. If you plan to purchase land, we can visit the property and give you perspective on that as well. You’ll leave this meeting with your specific questions answered.

4. Pre-Construction Agreement

   MAYBE YOU’VE NEVER HEARD THE TERM “PRE-CONSTRUCTION SERVICES AGREEMENT.” IF YOU’RE BUILDING A CUSTOM HOUSE, YOU SHOULD CHANGE THAT.

   So, what is a pre-construction services agreement?

   Many residential builders offer a free estimate upon the homeowner’s request at the very start of the custom-building process. In fact, Envision did this at the begging. It’s basically putting a total sticker price on a new home and letting a homeowner say yay or nay. Like anything else fast and furious, it’s not very effective.

   For one thing, builders don’t price apples-to-apples. For another, builders are never of equal caliber.

   Building a house is one of the largest investments, in terms of both time and resources, that you’ll make in your lifetime. You’ll have to live with the decisions you make today for years to come.

   When you go with a FREE ESTIMATE rather than a pre-construction agreement, you’re setting YOURSELF Up for Failure.

   Or rather, you’re setting yourself up for budget problems down the road!

   Pre-Construction Agreements are less commonly used, but at Envision, we truly believe it’s the right way to select a builder. When a homeowner selects a contractor based on an early estimate, they are shortchanging the hiring and overall construction process.

   Our Pre-Construction Services Agreement encompasses:

   • Drawings
   • Specifications
   • Allowances
   • Budget
   • Architecture and design for interior and exterior selection

How long will it take you to build my home?

Remember, good things take some time, and your home is not something you want to shortcut. Obviously, the answer to this question can vary greatly based on the size of your home, however, 6-10 months is the range to expect. Also keep in mind, much of the schedule depends on the layout of the land you are building on, the season of the year you begin building, the size of your home, and the detail and structure of your house plans
