STEP 1   Consultation

It all starts with a conversation. During our initial meeting, we’ll determine if we’re the right fit for one another. We’ll discuss your vision, preferences, and budget, laying the groundwork for a custom homebuilding process that reflects your needs. This foundational step ensures clear communication and sets the stage for a seamless, customized building experience. When you’re ready to move forward, we’ll prepare a pre-construction agreement that outlines next steps and ensures clarity.

STEP 2   Coordination

Now we get to work. With expectations set, we’ll create a detailed timeline and, if needed, help you select trusted architects, interior designers, and landscape designers. Whether you’re starting from scratch or bringing an existing home plan, our goal remains the same: align every moving part to ensure a strategic, well-coordinated build from day one. We’ll begin coordinating logistics and preparing to build your home, ensuring a seamless transition from planning to construction.

STEP 3   CURATION

The exciting part begins. You’ll select materials, finishes, appliances, fixtures, countertops, tile, and paint—every detail that makes your home truly yours. We’ll arrange a team of trusted vendors and suppliers to guide you through the process, ensuring you have everything you need to make confident selections. They say genius is in the details, and the choices are all yours. Throughout this stage, we’ll keep decisions organized and streamlined, so the process feels effortless and enjoyable.

STEP 4   COST ANALYSIS

CarsonSpeer is a fixed-price builder, offering inherent advantages over cost-plus models. With a clear, upfront pricing structure, you’ll know your costs before construction begins, minimizing risk and reducing uncertainty. Our fixed-price approach also ensures your home is built on time, on budget, and to the highest standards—providing certainty, accountability, and peace of mind.

STEP 5   COMMUNICATION

From day one, you’ll be paired with a dedicated project manager who will oversee every detail of your build. This hands-on, personalized approach ensures seamless coordination, quality control, and timely completion. More importantly, your project manager is your direct point of contact, keeping you informed at every stage. Clear, consistent communication leads to a smoother, more personalized experience.

You’ll be home soon!
