The Custom Process

New homes are being constructed in established neighborhoods throughout Montgomery County. Many people love their community but need a larger home that suits their personal lifestyle and plans for the future. If you purchase a newly completed house, the sales price includes overhead, interest carry, and builder profit which can run well over $200,000, without adding any value to the house. By building your own custom home, you save this money and receive the exact house you desire and can afford.

Chuck Sullivan Homes takes the mystery out of custom home building. We make the home building process organized and understandable. At no charge, CSH meets with you to discuss your specific design preferences. We offer numerous examples of floor plans in several architectural styles based on the size and shape of your property. We advise you about the various regulatory and cost issues that apply to your situation. If you don’t currently own property, CSH can help you find a lot in your desired neighborhood.

The next step entails interviewing an architect well versed in your selected architectural style. CSH utilizes relationships with several architects and can even meet with an architect of your choosing. We assemble all of the information the architect needs to prepare a proposal to design your home.

CSH arranges meetings with our mortgage consultant to discuss your specific financial situation. Knowing how much money you have available and understanding how that figure impacts your mortgage payment empowers you to make a wise financial decision.

Following these meetings, Chuck Sullivan Homes prepares a preliminary budget that details each cost item and option you desire. We also give you a construction schedule. At your request, we provide you with references. Now you have all the information you need to decide if you wish to proceed with your custom home. All of these services and information gathering is provided at no charge to you.

Once you enter into a contract with CSH, we work together in designing your new home. As you determine the features and options you want, we advise you of the costs and marketing implications. We use proven procedures that prioritize decisions in an organized manner so you are not overwhelmed during the design process. After just a few meetings, we complete your concept plan and construction drawings begin. Once the plans are submitted for county approval, we bid out the work. During the bidding process, we confer with you to ensure the costs stay within your budget.

CSH handles all permits, contracts, invoices, and site supervision. Thus, we are able to build your house with attention to quality, schedule, and budget. Maintaining excellent community relations during the construction phase is important to us. We pride ourselves on our successful record. Your neighbors will appreciate our efforts.

When your new home is completed, we provide a 5-year limited service warranty. CSH delivers superior warranty service and has a spotless record with all previous clients. Every client is our next referral. Our reputation and integrity speak for themselves. Now allow your home to speak for you. Thank you for the opportunity to become your custom builder.
