LAND + LOT ACQUISITION
*Custom Home Division* We use our Award-Winning Real Estate Team to assist you in finding the perfect lot and or land. We perform a lot/ land evaluation to ensure the site is suited & perfect for your needs. To confirm that your desired project is feasible we’ll do everything from bringing in consultants such as land surveyors, soil and pool engineers, we can even fly a drone to validate the views. Our team will review city and county restrictions, municipal easements, zonings and much more.
VALUE + ENGINEERING
Early involvement allows us to help value engineer your project, identifying where it’s worth investing more money and where a less costly option will provide the results you desire. There are many ways to come up with your concept, design and plan, but no matter where you start, we can bring it to fruition. At Samples Residential, we can utilize our in-house CAD architectural engineering for your specific style, layout and needs combining ideas from multiple designs and plans for a custom creation.
DESIGN + PLAN
During this phase, you will work with our design and architectural engineering team to refine and finalize your design and plans. We will begin getting an account of your anticipated materials and finishes, allowances, and optional features & upgrades. As an Award-Winning Company, we have years of experience with residential design. If you would like to bring in an architect we can provide introductions, matching the best fit for your proposed style and needs. Once we are retained, we will collaborate closely to create a design & plan that fits your desired function and cost parameters.
CONTRACT + FINANCING
Our team will obtain subcontractor and vendor bids & estimates based on your approved design, specifications, selections & features and confirm the budget for your project. Once you are comfortable and confident with your price, design, plans, specifications, selections and features, it is time to sign the contract. If you have a lender you are already working with, we can start coordinating the required paperwork for your financing. If not, we are happy to provide contact information with our referred lenders.
