Custom Design Process

Steps to your perfect home

We’re delighted that you’ve made the decision to create a custom home for your family. Cherry Creek Building is dedicated to building your dream home and committed to offering personalized assistance every step of the way.

Meet the Builder & Financing

When you start designing your home with Cherry Creek, we’ll schedule a meeting with our builder and the skilled and experienced team that will bring your new home to life. We’ll discuss your wants and needs, including financing. Depending on your situation, we will work closely with your lender or recommend one that is right for you. It is our top priority to ensure that your new home includes everything you want at the price you can afford. 

Location, Location, Location

We understand that location is just as important as the home itself. When you build a home through Cherry Creek, we consider and advise on the following location factors:

  • Desired Lot Size: Affects the design and scale of your home and the level of privacy and outdoor space you’ll enjoy.
  • School District Quality: A priority for families, school district quality affects educational opportunities and the long-term value of your investment.
  • Existing Homes in the Area: Your new home should complement its surroundings and align with your expectations for neighborhood aesthetics and community feel.
  • Nearby Amenities: From shopping centers to trails and entertainment opportunities, we’ll make sure your new home is close to everything you want.

Begin your design

Choose from one of our fully customizable home layouts, bring your own plan, or create a unique design with our in-house architect. We are solely focused on bringing your vision to life, which means we will meet as many times as necessary to ensure that you feel entirely comfortable with the design moving forward. After approving the architectural plans and contract, you will be invited into our design center, where one of our designers will personally help you select options and outstanding features.

Expert Construction

Construction is arguably the most critical phase of a new home build. No matter what type of home we’re building, at Cherry Creek we only use high-quality materials, advanced framing methods that allow for more insulation, and technology like programmable thermostats to ensure structural integrity, durability, and energy efficiency right from the start.

The framing of a home being built

We hire only the most experienced and professional construction teams to build your home. Some of our required qualifications for our building crews include:

  • Industry Experience: We look for professionals with years of experience in their respective trades and specific expertise in constructing new homes. 
  • Referrals & Reputation: We look for strong referrals and a clear history of successful new construction projects and satisfied clients.
  • Overall Craftsmanship: Without superior craftsmanship, even the best designs and vision won’t come out as intended. Focusing on finesse and details is what ensures your new home lives up to all your expectations. For our team, even the smallest details are the biggest deal, and we make sure to hire contractors who share that belief.
