At Cherry Creek Building, we focus on delivering high-quality custom homes that meet our clients’ unique needs and preferences. Our more than 30 years of industry experience has helped us refine our process to be efficient and client-focused, making the journey of building a custom home as enjoyable as the outcome.
In this blog, we’ll give you an exclusive behind-the-scenes peek at our custom home-building process. We’ll walk you through how we help homeowners choose a location, what factors we consider when we’re constructing a home, and how we continue to help homeowners even after their home has long been built.
Choosing a Location
We know that location plays a pivotal role in the home-building process, shaping not just the physical surroundings of a residence but also the lifestyle and conveniences homeowners will experience daily. That’s why we work directly with prospective homeowners to align their location with their personal preferences and needs.
When you partner with us, we’ll consider several key factors, including:
- Desired Lot Size: This influences the design and scale of your home and the level of privacy and outdoor space you’ll enjoy.
- School District Quality: The quality of the school district is often a priority for families, impacting educational opportunities and the long-term value of your investment.
- Existing Homes in the Area: We’ll ensure your new home complements its surroundings and aligns with your expectations for neighborhood aesthetics and community feel.
- Nearby Amenities: Whether you’re looking for shopping centers, good trails to hike, or fun entertainment opportunities, we’ll match you with the perfect location.
Selecting the Right Materials
Material selection is a crucial aspect of the home construction process, as it not only defines the aesthetic appeal of your home but also ensures its durability and functionality.
When we select materials, we first consider quality, so we always choose materials that are visually appealing, robust, and known for having long lifespans.
Next, we keep a close eye on current market trends. This allows us to build a home with a contemporary feel and timeless design that will stay in style.
Material availability is another critical factor we consider. We know you’re excited about your new home, so we strive to ensure we choose materials that won’t impact the project timeline.
Lastly, and most importantly, your preferences guide our material selection. We recognize that your home is a personal and intimate space, so we prioritize your tastes and choices during every aspect of the construction phase. Whether you have a specific vision or need guidance in making the best choices, we work closely with you to select materials that align with your desired look, lifestyle needs, and budget.
Hiring Expert Builders
For custom home construction, the expertise and proficiency of the tradespeople involved are just as crucial as material quality and the home’s design.
The qualifications we look for in our builders include:
- Industry Experience: Specialized experience in new construction is a primary factor. We look for professionals with years of experience in their respective trades and specific expertise in constructing new homes. This niche experience ensures they are familiar with the latest building techniques, codes, and standards necessary for a modern, high-quality new home project.
- Referrals & Reputation: We look for professionals with strong referrals who demonstrate a history of successful new construction projects and satisfied clients.
- Overall Craftsmanship: Our recruitment team also evaluates the finesse and attention to detail in their previous projects to ensure they align with our standard of excellence. Superior craftsmanship is essential to bringing the final details of your custom home to life and ensuring that every element, no matter how small, is executed with precision.
Collaborating With the Prospective Homeowner
When you bring your ideas and concepts to us, we’ll provide practical and feasible recommendations that align with your vision. Our experienced builder then works closely with their architect and design team, transforming your initial concepts into a detailed and workable plan. We only move forward with any aspect of the design process once we have your final input.
Additionally, maintaining an open line of communication is a fundamental part of our process. Throughout the entire construction journey, you will have direct access to your dedicated sales representative and builder. This allows us to receive timely feedback and any necessary plan revisions from you and inform you of progress updates, any potential challenges we’ve encountered, and how they are being addressed. Our goal is to make you feel supported, involved, and confident in your home’s construction progress.
Ensuring Durability & Quality
We understand your home is a long-term investment, so ensuring the final result is high-quality is important to us. To achieve this, we use the most up-to-date materials and construction techniques, like advanced framing methods that allow for more insulation and less thermal bridging, and integrate smart home technology solutions, like programmable thermostats and energy-efficient appliances.
Quality control is another aspect we take seriously. Our process also includes multiple layers of oversight and inspection to ensure our homes meet our high standards, including:
- Local Municipality Inspections: We adhere to all necessary building codes and regulations, and our homes undergo all the required inspections conducted by the local municipality.
- Daily Field Personnel Visits: Our dedicated field personnel visit each job site daily. These frequent inspections allow us to monitor progress closely, identify and address issues promptly, and ensure every stage of construction meets our standards.
- Hands-on Builder Oversight: Our builder personally oversees all job sites, particularly at critical stages of construction. This level of involvement from the top ensures meticulous attention to detail and consistent application of our quality standards across all projects.
Post-Construction Support
Lastly, our commitment extends beyond handing over the keys, ensuring your transition to your new home is smooth and that any concerns are swiftly addressed.
Our post-construction support includes several essential elements:
- Comprehensive Warranty: Our builder offers robust warranties on our homes. These warranties are a testament to our building team’s confidence in the quality of their work and dedication to your long-term satisfaction.
- Physical Office Location & Dedicated Support Staff: Our home builder has a physical office location and support staff to ensure you always have a place to go if you need in-person assistance or have questions about your new home.
- Responsive Issue Resolution: Our team is committed to responding quickly and effectively if any issues arise post-construction. No matter the problem, we’re ready to help.
