Our Process

1. Initial Inquiry

Submit your property and project details through our inquiry form. We review for general location, budget alignment, and fit with our typical project type.

2. Property Review & Site Meeting

If your project appears aligned, we schedule an on-site meeting to walk the property together. This allows us to evaluate access, grading, utilities, setbacks, and overall build feasibility before moving forward.

Every piece of land is different - this step ensures expectations, budget, and constructability are aligned early.

3. Discovery & Concept Direction

Once we have evaluated the site, we begin a design conversation around your goals, must-have features, and priorities.

From there, we curate an “inspiration book” of concept plans with mixed exteriors that meet the design and budget goals. These concepts help establish layout direction, architectural style, and budget alignment before formal design begins.

This stage is exploratory and intended to identify the right overall direction.

4. Design Agreement & Plan Development

Once a preferred concept is identified and customization is desired, we move into formal plan development.

At this point, a design agreement is executed for $5,000, which covers the creation of custom blackline construction drawings based on your design direction and refinements.

If the finalized plans and construction proposal align, and you move forward with Owen Roberts Builders, this fee is credited toward your build contract.

If the project does not proceed after plans are completed, the design fee is non-refundable.

5. Final Pricing & Construction Agreement

With plans complete, we provide a fixed-price construction contract that includes standard packages and defined allowances.

Once the agreement is executed, your build is officially scheduled and moves into the interior selections phase.

6. Interior Design Selections

All clients complete their interior selections with Plum and Crimson Interiors, providing professional interior design guidance throughout the process.

Working alongside their design team, homeowners finalize cabinetry, flooring, tile, fixtures, and finishes through our trusted supplier network.

7. Construction

We manage all construction, scheduling, inspections, and coordination - with an open line of communication to homeowners throughout the build. Our construction process will include a series of on-site meetings and reviews with the builder and trade partners, as identified below.

Pre-Excavation - to confirm any clearings needs, house location and driveway layout.

Post-Framing (pre-mechanical - to review plumbing and HVAC layouts, identify block location for TVs, towel bars, etc.)

Electrical - With Electrician on-site to customize lighting fixture and switch locations.

Pre-Drywall - to confirm plumbing, HVAC and electrical placements.

Landscape Review - With Landscape & Lawn Irrigation partners on-site to review lawn, plantings, and sprinkler details.

8. Completion

Final walkthrough, and delivery of your new home.

Limited Availability

We accept only a small number of on-your-lot builds each year to maintain quality, communication, and hands-on management.
