Discover The Possibilities With Us

At Stone Harbor Custom Homes our discovery phase is about you, your vision, needs, and preferences.

 

We are here to listen and provide these crucial meetings to enable us to understand your lifestyle and goals, preparing for an enjoyable home-building experience.

 

Discovery meetings lay the groundwork for a partnership built on trust and communication. Let's get to know each other and discuss your ideas, budget, and timeline to create a functional and beautiful home that reflects your unique style and meets your specific requirements.

Define With Expertise & Care

When embarking on the journey of building your custom home, it is key to determine project specifications alongside budgetary constraints.  

 

We are passionate about making sure your custom home vision can be made a reality, and in the Define phase, our experienced team brings it all together by engaging in thorough planning, cost analysis, and aligning on project specifications. Stone Harbor Custom Homes can assist you in creating a home that meets your functional needs and stays within your desired budget.

We understand the significance of site planning and its essential role in creating your dream home. Maybe you have spent time with an architect designing the perfect plan or need a trusted resource to guide you through the house plan creation process, we are here to help.

 

Our thorough site analysis will take into account your property's unique characteristics, whether you’ve selected a forested hillside or a developed estate lot. We are well-equipped to explore various options for the ideal placement of your home while preserving the natural features of the property.

We build to your budget. This is essential for the success of our working relationship. Prior to construction, we spend a lot of time digging into the details of what you want so that we can provide an accurate cost with allowances based on the level of finish you’ve asked for.

Build With Lasting Quality

When it comes to building dream homes, communication is essential.

We provide direct access to our team, bi-weekly status calls, and a communication portal. Everything is in writing and all in one place, there are no surprises. Our client communication portal offers exclusive online access to your project and is available 24/7, wherever you are, whenever it is convenient for you.

You can leave the practical aspects to us; our team is well-versed in lot requirements, city permitting, and local building codes. Amanda and a dedicated Project Manager work alongside chosen suppliers and building partners with proven quality track records and glowing compliments of our clients. We have worked with many of them for more than 20 years and their reliability and integrity are paramount to us.
