Our Process

BOLD Construction

“You can have a transactional experience, or you can have an exceptional one. At BOLD, it’s not just about what we build—it’s how we build it, and how we make you feel along the way.” Christine Weise, Director of Sales & Client Relations

The Custom Home Builder Your Home Needs

There are a lot of custom home builders. Many offer the same finishes, materials, and floorplans. But at BOLD, we believe the true difference is the experience. To us, an exceptional building experience means collaborating with you every step of the way—listening to your goals, understanding your needs, prioritizing what matters most, and delivering your home on time and on budget. And we do it all in a way that’s personal, collaborative—and yes, even fun.

From the first conversation to the day you move in, you’ll have a dedicated partner by your side. You’ll always know where your project stands, who to contact, and what’s coming next.

Building your dream home should be exciting—and with the right team, it can be. We’re here to make the journey just as exceptional as the home you’ll live in.

OUR DESIGN-BUILD PROCESS FOR HOME BUILDING

Step 1: Discovery Meeting

We start by getting to know you and your vision for the project. We’ll discuss your budget, timeline, and overall goals. Whether you already have land or need help finding the perfect lot, our team will evaluate feasibility, zoning, views, and construction potential. We’ll also thoroughly inspect your site, whether it’s a new build or remodeling project, and clearly walk you through our custom home building process and contract details.

Step 2: Design Agreement

Once you’re ready to move forward, our team works directly with you to develop a personalized design that truly captures your vision. Using the latest design technology and project management tools, we’ll create detailed plans for your custom home or renovation. At this stage, you’ll get a clear idea of how your project will look and an initial cost estimate.

Step 3: Architectural Design Development & Pricing Proposal

This is where your vision really starts to come to life. You’ll work closely with our Architectural team to design a home that reflects your style, fits your lifestyle, and stays within your budget.

Once the design is finalized, we present a clear, fixed-price proposal outlining the full scope and cost of the project. That means no surprises, no inflated invoices, and no confusing “cost-plus” arrangements. Your total cost is locked in before construction begins.

Behind the scenes, we go through a meticulous pricing and planning process so that your final invoice aligns with your approved budget—unless you decide to make changes along the way. We’ll work with you to fine-tune the Statement of Work (SOW) until everything feels just right. Then, once you’re confident in every detail, we’ll move forward with signing the final contract.

Step 4: Final Proposal

With all plans, materials, and pricing confirmed, we finalize your contract. This step ensures clarity and transparency, addressing any remaining questions you may have. After signing, our team manages all permit applications and necessary approvals, ensuring your project starts smoothly.

Step 5: Selections and Pre Construction

Now it’s time to bring your project to life! You will work closely with our Design Team to begin making the finish selections for your beautiful new home.  Everything from tile, to appliances, cabinets, and paint colors.  The selections process is where you really get to personalize, customize, and watch your vision unfold. 

In addition to our Design Team, you will meet your dedicated Construction Manager, who will be your main contact during the build. We’ll order materials, coordinate labor, secure permits, and develop a detailed project schedule, so you know exactly what to expect throughout construction.

Step 6: Construction

Whether we’re building from the ground up or renovating your existing space, our experienced team meticulously handles every detail. We’ll keep you informed with regular updates through BuilderTrend, our easy-to-use client communication platform. Our trusted network of professionals ensures the highest quality craftsmanship at every step.

Estimated Build Time:

  • 3,000–4,500 SF: 10–12 months
  • 4,500–6,000 SF: 12–14 months
  • 6,000–10,000 SF: 14–16 months
Step 7: Final Walkthrough & Move-In Celebration

Congratulations—your home is complete! Together with your Construction Manager and our BOLD team, you’ll perform a final walkthrough, carefully checking every aspect of your home to make sure everything meets your expectations. We’ll secure your Certificate of Occupancy and celebrate this milestone with a ribbon-cutting ceremony. If anything still needs attention, we’ll address it promptly.

Step 8: Warranty & Ongoing Support

Our commitment doesn’t end at move-in—it’s just the beginning. When you build with BOLD, you’re not just getting a beautifully crafted home; you’re gaining a lifelong partner. We stand behind our work with a one-year warranty on workmanship and an six-year structural warranty.

And beyond that? We’re still here for you. With more than 25 years in the construction industry, we’ve built a network of trusted home professionals—and we’re happy to be your go-to resource for anything that comes up. Whether it’s a small repair, a future update, or just a question about your home, you can count on us to point you in the right direction.
