The home is then quoted based on the outlined specifications and reviewed with you. Together we make adjustments to the plan design and pricing to meet budget considerations. We also review the terms of our building contract and a 5% deposit is made.
Pre-Construction
We establish a start date and complete a project schedule. All selections made with your Designer are detailed and included with the blueprints to be given to your Construction Builder.

We’ll be in constant contact throughout the building process. Our team of professionals at Bannister Custom Homes take a personal interest to ensure your house is completed to specification within the allotted time period and with strict attention to detail. You will know exactly what and when decisions need to be made, as well as what is happening at your home on any given day. We’ll meet regularly to review the progress and you will get to know each of our team members as they work on your home. As construction progresses and as unique design opportunities present themselves that will improve the end result, we introduce those ideas to you. Upon completion of the home, a final walk-through is done and a punch list is made. Although the house is complete, our relationship will not end. We are always available to address any questions or problems that may arise with your new home.
