Building Process

Our Custom Home Building Process

1. Choose a Plan to Start With

You may or may not have the perfect plan when you first visit Whitmire Homes.

Whether you have several ideas you’d like to incorporate into your new home, or you simply know the style, rooms and size you want, we can get you started on a custom home that suits your budget and your lifestyle.

That’s one of the many things that sets Whitmire apart. We approach each and every home with a truly custom touch. Have a plan that is outside your budget, but has all the features you love? We’ll work with you to make budgetary compromises. Got a design in mind, but not sure what custom options to change? We’re happy to help.

If you don’t have a specific plan in hand, we have a portfolio for you to browse that is full of tried and true plans that can be personalized with your design changes. Once we find a design that is perfect for you, the next step is to set up a fixed pricing contract that prevents hidden fees and surprise charges.

2. Fixed Price Contract

Whitmire believes good working relationships are built on trust and transparency. That’s why we set our contract prices up front. We assure you that there will be no hidden fees or surprises lurking in the fine print. With fixed price contracts, we can budget the materials and work required for your dream home upfront and establish a payment plan with you. This is an integral part of our process that helps your home building experience stay stress-free.

3. Construction Site Evaluations

Our team of building professionals will meet with you on your building site a lot evaluation. Lot design and site prep is a significant part of building cost. We will consult with you regarding the layout and placement of your home while considering landscaping and lot usage, view enhancements and soil erosion.
