Every great home starts with the right piece of land. The lot you choose plays an important role in determining what can be built, including the size, layout, and architectural style of your future home. Factors such as topography, setbacks, and zoning all influence the design possibilities. We are here to guide you through this process and help you determine which home designs work best for your land. If you have not found the perfect lot yet, we can connect you with a trusted realtor to help you find a custom homesite, or you can choose from one of our available lots in our developments.
The next step is to choose a home plan that fits your lifestyle and goals. There are several ways to do this. You can work with an architect to design a fully custom home tailored to your vision. You can search online for an existing plan that you like and make adjustments to suit your needs. Alternatively, you can explore the floor plans on our website and personalize one to create the perfect fit for you.
You might be pleasantly surprised by how much home your budget can create when you join us for a free, no-obligation design and pricing consultation. During this meeting, you will sit down with our builder, get to know our team, and have all your questions answered. There is nothing quite like seeing your vision come to life, along with the peace of mind that comes from knowing exactly what it will cost to build your custom home.
Construction loans are different from traditional home loans, and not all lenders specialize in them. Pre-approval is the important first step in understanding your budget and determining a comfortable monthly payment. By sharing basic financial information with a lender, you’ll discover what you qualify for and can begin planning your custom home with confidence. While you are not required to use any specific lender, we are happy to connect you with trusted lenders we know and recommend.
This step marks a significant milestone in your new home journey and it’s an exciting time! By signing your home building contract, you move beyond the design phase and into the next stages of construction, giving you clear expectations for what lies ahead. Once your house plan has been selected, modified, and priced, the next step is to sign the documents.
After your contract is signed, we are excited to meet with you at the land you have chosen for your dream home. We will schedule a home site inspection where you will meet your Project Manager on location.
During the home site inspection, your Project Manager will walk the lot with you and review the unique features of your land. You will discuss the ideal positioning of your home, any clearing or land preparation that may be needed, the best location for your driveway, utility placement and connection points, and any grade or elevation changes that may affect the build. This is a key step in making sure your home is perfectly tailored to the land it will sit on.
The Pre-Construction Meeting is the final step before the home building process officially begins.
During this meeting, you will meet with your building team to review the final plans in detail. Together, you will go room by room to ensure everything is exactly how you envisioned it. This step confirms that your layout is fully aligned before construction begins.
From colors and flooring to countertops and cabinets, you will choose every finish for your custom home to match the decisions made during your design and pricing meeting.
For many homeowners, the selections process is one of the most exciting parts of the journey. For others, it can feel a bit overwhelming. No matter where you fall on that spectrum, our team is here to support you and help bring your vision to life.
We have thoughtfully invested in our design showroom to give you a hands-on experience. The showroom showcases a wide range of flooring, cabinetry, tile, brick, and countertop options. It is a space where your inspiration can come to life, and where our team is available to guide you through the process.
Of course, you are not limited to what is in our showroom. You are welcome to choose finishes from any retailer you prefer.
Building a custom home involves many steps and specialists, but we handle the complex details so you don't have to be the expert or the project manager. From coordinating every phase of construction to managing the entire process, our goal is to make the experience smooth, enjoyable, and stress free.
Once permits are approved by your local building authority, we will schedule site work to begin. This is the exciting moment when your vision begins to take shape. From that point forward, we guide you through each stage of construction, walking the home with you and treating every project as if we were building it for our own family.
You will receive regular updates from your dedicated Project Manager, who serves as your main point of contact throughout the process. You will also have access to our full team and can easily communicate by phone, email, text, or through our client portal. We are here to support you every step of the way.
This is the moment you have been waiting for — move-in day! It is time to take the keys to your dream home. There is nothing quite like stepping into a home that was built just for you. It is a special and exciting milestone, and we are proud to have been part of your journey.
We’re dedicated to guiding you through every step, ensuring your home building journey is smooth, informed, and worry-free.
If you’re searching for a new home but haven’t found one that truly fits your needs, building a custom home may be the perfect solution. A custom home is a brand-new residence designed around your unique preferences, lifestyle, and goals. Whether you start with a pre-designed floor plan and make personalized modifications or work with an architect to create a completely original design from scratch, the result is a home tailored just for you.
If you already own land and are ready to build, ABH Construction makes the process simple. Whether you’ve just purchased your lot, are expanding on existing property, or have inherited land, we offer a full-service approach to custom homebuilding. From site planning to construction, our team handles every step so you don’t have to coordinate multiple contractors. Contact us today for a quote or to have your land reviewed by our team.
The building process is variable, but usually takes around 12 months. It can be dependent on the size of home, selections of the home characterisitcs, availability of materials, permits, weather, and neighborhood HOA approvals.
Many factors can influence the overall cost, including material selections, the size and layout of the home, land topography, architectural style, roof design, septic or sewer requirements, driveway length and layout, and the type of foundation—whether basement, slab, or crawl space.
The biggest advantage is simple: no compromises. When buying an existing home, there is almost always something that does not quite fit your needs or style. You may have to settle for outdated layouts, limited storage, or features you do not love.
When building a custom home, every detail is tailored to your lifestyle. Whether you want a spacious kitchen, an open floor plan, a large pantry, or a luxurious spa bathroom, your home is designed to fit your exact preferences.
In addition, all of our homes are built using the latest energy efficient materials and systems, helping you save on monthly utility costs while enjoying modern comfort and performance.
Every custom home build is unique, influenced by factors such as location and local inspections. Once all necessary permits are secured, construction begins with site preparation and laying the foundation, which provides the essential support for your home.
Next, framing takes shape, creating the framework for walls, floors, and the roof. After that, the mechanical systems—including plumbing, HVAC, and electrical—are installed and roughed in. Following inspections, insulation is added and drywall is hung to enclose the interior spaces.
From there, the process moves to the finishing stages: installation of trim, doors, cabinets, countertops, and painting. Flooring, fixtures, and other final details are completed last. The project concludes with a thorough cleaning, leaving your home ready for you to move in.
