What to Expect During a Custom Home Build


Turning Your Dream Into a Reality—One Phase at a Time


Building a custom home is one of the most exciting—and significant—investments you'll ever make. It’s an opportunity to create a space that fits your lifestyle, reflects your personality, and meets your family’s unique needs. But what exactly does the custom home building process involve?


At Sage Homes Construction & Interior Design, we believe the best way to approach a custom build is with clarity and confidence. Here's a look at what you can expect from start to finish:


1. The Vision Phase: Dream, Plan, and Design

Every successful home build starts with a solid foundation—your vision. During this phase, you’ll meet with our team to talk through your goals, style preferences, must-haves, and budget. We’ll help you:

  • Identify the type of home you want (modern, traditional, craftsman, etc.)

  • Create a detailed wish list of features and finishes

  • Understand your timeline and financial parameters

We’ll also begin working with an architect or designer to bring your ideas to life through floor plans and 3D renderings.


2. The Pre-Construction Phase: Permits, Selections & Site Prep

Once the design is finalized, we handle the behind-the-scenes essentials:

  • Securing building permits and approvals

  • Finalizing material selections (flooring, cabinets, fixtures, etc.)

  • Prepping the land—clearing, leveling, and surveying the site

During this phase, our interior design team is available to help you confidently make choices that reflect your style and work within your budget.


3. The Build Phase: From Groundbreaking to Framing

Now the magic starts to happen! You’ll see your home take shape, step-by-step:

  • Foundation & Framing: Laying the groundwork and framing the structure

  • Plumbing, Electrical & HVAC: The inner workings of your home are installed

  • Exterior Work: Roofing, siding, and windows go in to "dry-in" your home

Regular site visits and progress updates keep you in the loop as your vision becomes a reality.


4. The Interior Phase: Bringing Design to Life

Once the structure is complete, it’s time for the finishes that make your home truly yours:

  • Drywall, paint, trim, and flooring installation

  • Cabinetry, countertops, lighting, and plumbing fixtures

  • Custom touches like built-ins, fireplaces, and staircases

This is also when interior design decisions—from paint colors to tile patterns—come together to create a cohesive and personalized aesthetic.


5. Final Walkthrough & Move-In Day

Before you receive the keys, we conduct a thorough walkthrough with you to:

  • Review every detail

  • Address any final touch-ups

  • Ensure your complete satisfaction

We also provide guidance on home maintenance and warranties to protect your investment for years to come.


6. Post-Move Support: We’re Still Here

Even after you’ve moved in, we remain a resource. Whether you’re considering future additions or just need a recommendation for a great landscaper, we’re here to help your home grow with you.
