Our 8-Stage Process

The Journey from Vision to Home

Handoff

1

Discovery

⏱️ 1–2 weeks

We listen. You share your vision, budget, timeline, and site details. Our team gathers everything needed to scope the project accurately.

What Happens During This Stage:

  • Initial consultation (phone, video, or in-person)
  • Site evaluation and photos
  • Preliminary budget and timeline estimate
  • Design style preferences and reference gathering
2

Design

⏱️ 2–4 weeks

Our engineers and architects create your custom design. You get 3D renderings, floor plans, specifications, and a detailed cost breakdown.

What Happens During This Stage:

  • 3D renderings and floor plans
  • Structural and MEP (mechanical, electrical, plumbing) design
  • Cost breakdown by category
  • Design revisions based on your feedback
  • Final approval and contract signature
3

Permitting

⏱️ 3–6 weeks

We handle the paperwork. Our team submits plans to local authorities, coordinates reviews, and obtains all necessary permits before fabrication begins.

What Happens During This Stage:

  • Local building permit application
  • Zoning and foundation approvals
  • Utility coordination (water, electric, gas)
  • Follow-up inspections with local authorities
  • Final permit release
4

Fabrication

⏱️ 8–10 weeks

In our Oklahoma facility, your home takes shape. Every module is built to exacting standards, inspected, and quality-tested before leaving the yard.

What Happens During This Stage:

  • Materials procurement
  • CNC fabrication and assembly
  • Systems integration (electrical, plumbing, HVAC)
  • Factory inspections and testing
  • Final walkthrough and load preparation
5

Delivery

⏱️ 1–2 weeks

Your modules are carefully transported by our fleet to your site. We coordinate timing with site prep and foundation completion.

What Happens During This Stage:

  • Route planning and logistics coordination
  • Site preparation confirmation
  • Foundation and utility connections ready
  • Careful transport and positioning
  • Temporary stabilization and connections
6

Installation

⏱️ 2–4 weeks

Our certified technicians assemble modules on-site, connect all systems, and complete final inspections to ensure everything works perfectly.

What Happens During This Stage:

  • Module connection and sealing
  • Utility connections and testing
  • Final electrical, plumbing, and HVAC inspections
  • Punch list and final walk-through
  • Certificate of occupancy coordination
7

Handoff

⏱️ 1 day

Your home is complete and ready. We walk through all systems, provide manuals, and answer your questions before you move in.

What Happens During This Stage:

  • Final walkthrough with homeowner
  • Systems training and manual review
  • Warranty documentation
  • Contact info for any future service needs
  • Celebrate! Your custom home is ready.

Every project is unique. Rush timelines and extended ones are both possible—we'll discuss your specific needs during Discovery.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can we compress the timeline?

Yes. Rush design (1–2 weeks) and expedited permitting are possible depending on your location and complexity. We'll discuss options during Discovery.

What if permits take longer than expected?

We handle permitting, but some jurisdictions move slowly. We'll manage the coordination and keep you informed. Fabrication doesn't start until permits are in hand.

Can I make changes during fabrication?

Yes, but only before fabrication begins. Once cutting and assembly start, changes become expensive. This is why we lock the design before moving to Stage 4.

Who handles the site prep and foundation?

You coordinate with your local contractor or hire one we recommend. We provide detailed foundation specs and coordinate timing with delivery.

What's included in the final walk-through?

Systems training (HVAC, water heater, electrical panels), warranty documentation, maintenance tips, and a direct contact for any future service needs.

Do you offer financing?

Yes. We partner with Hearth for flexible construction loans and offer cash payment plans. See our Financing page or ask during Discovery.
