Building a home from scratch can be a daunting process, but Dunkum custom home builders have developed a streamlined approach to ensure the entire experience is as clear and smooth as possible. Having Dunkum Custom Homes involved from the beginning will help you map out a course to build your dream home.

During an initial meeting, Dunkum can advise you on things to consider in the early stages of planning if you need some help and direction. If you are confident about your vision, we can be brought in after the plans are drawn to execute your project. From the early stages of planning to being handed the keys to your new home, let’s explore the process to build your dream custom home.

Build a Vision

You’ll have to think hard about what you want in a home, neighborhood, and community. How big is your family, and do they need space and privacy? Do you want expansive grounds or a more manageable space? Do you want to live near nature or be in a more urban setting?

Start a vision board with photos of features you love from other houses and sites like Houzz and Pinterest.

Meet with an architect to begin designing your home from scratch or use one of our in-house plans to give you a starting point that you can then customize to your individual preferences.

Using the ArchModel System to help visualize your selections during the home building process.

At Dunkum, we use ArchModel computer modeling to help your selection process. This way, you can see how your selections impact the look of your project. We create a virtual reality representation of your future home which alleviates much of the stress of understanding how your home will look and feel when it is constructed.

Finalize Building Materials

Dunkum uses innovative and traditional building materials to make your dream home a reality. From timber frame construction, stone accents, and slate roofs to residential elevators, geothermal technology, spray foam insulation, and state-of-the-art technology, we have the experience you need to give your project the personal touches that fit your style. We are happy to walk you through different materials costs, benefits, and building requirements long before construction begins.

Construction

You’ll soon start to see your home coming together. Communicating throughout the process is important to keep all the moving parts working together seamlessly. You will be part of the team as we move through the exciting process of constructing your home!

Building a custom home can be an enjoyable and rewarding experience. You can design your dream home from start to finish, ensuring that the multiple details are just as you had imagined, or you can let our team help with decisions if you would prefer some guidance! This building process is an excellent way for families to work together to create something that is unique as they are.

We’re excited to listen to your story and learn about the vision for your new home. Please contact us if you’d like to explore how our custom home-building services can help you achieve your goals.

While this is a general overview of our process, every client offers unique challenges and needs that we adapt to so that the final home is an exceptional property your family will enjoy for generations.
