Custom home Design/Build process

At Mallicoat Custom Homes, our extensive experience in sculpting exquisite and practical spaces has refined our construction journey into a seamless and cooperative venture. This ensures that every homeowner receives a product that is of top-tier quality, tailored to their preferences, and delivered punctually. Our identity as a Design/Build firm is deeply rooted in mutual trust and open communication. We present homeowners with a distinctive, all-inclusive solution for luxury home construction, overseeing every facet—from innovative designs to meticulous finishes and curated product selections. The advantage of our integrated approach is evident: clients engage with just one dedicated entity from the project’s inception to its impeccable completion. Our core objective remains the cultivation of a symbiotic partnership, fostering a harmonious collaboration, ensuring an effortless project transition, and culminating in a custom home that stands as a testament to elite craftsmanship, avant-garde design, and individualized opulence.

Building our Relationship

Our inaugural meeting is a pivotal step where we get to familiarize ourselves with you, delving deep into your aspirations for your bespoke residence. Whether you come to us armed with precise blueprints or rely on our adept in-house designers to craft a design exclusively for you, we invest quality time to crystallize your dreams. Our commitment is to ensure that our designs don’t just align with your prerequisites but surpass your aspirations. Should you already possess a plot of land, we conduct a thorough site analysis, advising on its potential. Alternatively, we provide guidance on the ideal property type that resonates with your design preferences, taking into account key considerations such as plot dimensions, its alignment, regulatory constraints, and any inherent site challenges.

DESIGN & PLANNING

After our first chat, we’ll get things official with a Design Agreement. Once that’s signed, our team starts sketching your home. We’ll show you 3D images, floor plans, materials we suggest, and special features we think you’ll love. Plus, we’ll give you a clear list of costs for everything from bricks to worker time, so there are no surprises. One cool thing about us? We talk money early on. It means you know what’s up, and our designs stay real and doable. When everything’s ready, we’ll meet up, walk you through our ideas, and explain why we chose them. Your understanding is key, so we’ll make sure everything clicks.

refining and revising

Once we’ve sketched the first design, we fine-tune it based on your specific wants and lifestyle. Need changes to the layout or look? We’re on it. We can also offer more visuals like 3D models to help you see the final picture. The budget gets a closer look too. We’ll pin down details like which materials and finishes to use. Your sales rep will walk you through these tweaks, making sure you know the choices and their costs. By the end of this phase, we’ll have a solid plan, clear budget, and a shared vision, ensuring we’re all set and aligned before the real work starts.

contracts / approvals / permitting

When we’ve ironed out the design details and set the budget, we’ll present you with a contract to seal the deal. This contract confirms a fixed price for the work we’ve agreed upon and gives a clear finish date. After you’ve signed off, we’ll tackle the permit phase. Don’t worry – we handle all the paperwork and make sure we get the green light from the relevant authorities before we start building.

bringing it to life

Once we secure the required permits, we set up a pre-construction meeting. Here, your salesperson will introduce your go-to person for the build: your project manager. This meeting ensures everyone’s on the same page, discussing the construction timeline, how we’ll keep in touch, and more. As we dive into construction, expect regular updates from your project manager. They’ll be your direct line, working closely with our designers and skilled craftsmen to ensure your luxury custom home takes shape seamlessly.

project completion

Once your home is complete, we’ll walk through it together, spotting any final touches needed. We’ll also guide you on how to use its features and maintain its beauty, ensuring it remains your dream space for the long haul. We stand firmly by the quality of our work and aim to meet, if not exceed, your expectations.

Our pride lies in the homes we craft and the experience we deliver. Our integrated Design/Build approach allows for a smoother building journey, resulting in both a fulfilling customer experience and top-tier end product. Our goal is to craft luxury homes you’ll cherish, fostering enduring bonds along the way.
