The Process of building a custom home
Building your very own custom home is a dream that many people envision. What could be more perfect than creating a home that is exactly as you imagine it? Although many dream of this idea, if it’s not something you've taken on before you may be unsure of exactly how the process works from beginning to end. Thankfully building a beautiful custom home from concept to completion is what Bourn Homes does!
Where to begin?
A great first step would be knowing what location you want to build/live in. As we tell our clients, this is a detail that can’t be changed later. Location is permanent so it’s incredibly important. Secondly, what is your budget? Bourn Homes wants to make sure the home that we build for you is just as you dreamed it up, (even better than you could have dreamed it, actually!). Part of that is meeting your expectations on delivering the finished product to you within your budget.
What’s next?
Once you know where you want to build and the budget, you can get to work with your builder to begin deciding on the layout and design of your home. If you are building with Bourn Homes we will get to know you and your family and help you define what is best suited for your lifestyle. Are you a busy sports family that will need lots of storage for equipment? Are you a person who spends a lot of time preparing home cooked meals for your family and want a kitchen with all the extras to make your life run smoother? All the nuances that make your family unique is what we want to know about, to make your custom home just as wonderful.
The architect will finalize the plans and then the ideas start turning into reality! All the trades will get to work while Bourn Homes carefully conducts their scheduling like a symphony, bringing in the necessary instruments and elements. The building process is such an exciting time! The rooms are coming to life and every day that passes is one day closer to your family living in the beautifully created spaces. Of course this is not a quick process. While most custom home builds take anywhere between 12 - 18 months, Bourn Homes makes every effort to deliver ahead of schedule. This goes back to what I mentioned earlier… the Bourn Building process is a carefully conducted symphony.
The final product
Once all the work is complete, the “I’s” dotted and the “T’s” crossed you get the keys to the dream. What once was only an idea has come to fruition. Then it’s time for life to be lived and memories to be made in your one of a kind home, completely custom, tailored to you.
