When you reach a certain level of achievement, you may become fortunate enough to design and build a custom luxury home. Custom can mean everything from a concept born in your individual desire to be unique in the form you want for the type of construction, a floor plan to fit a specific functional need, or to proclaim your own pinnacle of success. Design starts with you and an architect on a blank canvas. A good architectural blueprint should articulate the goals you hope to achieve for the project. These goals could be for a more efficient building using, “Green Technology” or a more entertainment friendly environment utilizing a home theater or indoor pool. Whatever you want is what you can have with custom construction.

To achieve these goals, a potential client must have more details to have less questions and miscommunications later in the construction process that can cost someone money or prevent on-time delivery. Standards set for the materials and budget must be part of any expectations from a builder bidding for the project. When selecting your General Contractor, one must scrutinize the builder carefully to see what he can do well. Scope becomes important; am I building a 15,000 sq.ft. mansion, a lakefront condo re-model, or a dental office? Will my builder give me the same attention if I am not? Does his construction philosophy align with what I expect and ultimately, can I get along with them? Will I give him the trust he needs because I believe I can get the full value benefit for every dollar I spend?
