What is Our Home Building Process
Preconstruction Phase
We meet with you to understand every detail of what you want, determine the project scope, and the materials and finishing products that are within your budget.
Design and planning
The next step is the design and planning stage. The Cosmo Builders team gets to work on planning out each step of the custom home construction process. The design and planning are necessary to ensure that the building project meets your budget and is completed in record time. Part of this stage also includes us getting the best types of products, finishes, and materials that are needed to build your dream home.
Permit Service
As reputable home builder contractors in McLean, Fairfax, Northern Virginia, and DC we understand that permits are a headache that you don’t have time for. The good news is that you can have your permit applications for constructing new house projects processed through a Cosmo Builders permit service representative.
Our permitting service lets you start construction as soon as you select a general contractor. We pull all sets of permits, including building, electric, Survey plumbing, HVAC, and more.
Select Products & Materials
We will have a meeting with you in our showroom or vendor store where you get to view different options of products and finishing materials. The idea behind this meeting is for you to fully customize your finishing materials based on your preference and budget.
Agreement
After the design and product selection process is completed, you get to sign the construction contract with a final set budget & timeline. The timeline estimates are entered into our project scheduling tool so we know how long the project will take and can predict and avoid potential points of delay. Being on time is always our #1 priority.
Construction
This is arguably the most important stage of our custom home build process. So once the designs for your custom home have been ratified, we get to work on the project ASAP! While the construction work is being done, we make it standard practice to project managers on-site. Their job is to provide answers or solutions to any questions or issues that might come up.
But here’s the best part!
You also get to receive a project portal on our website. That’s where details about the status of your custom home are displayed so that you can stay updated on the status of your project.
Walkthrough and completion
Our goal is to satisfy you by minimizing the stress associated with getting a custom home built for you. So, as soon as the construction work is completed, we ensure that our team thoroughly cleans the site. This way you don’t have to stumble over materials and equipment while you are taking a tour of your new home. Once your assessments have been completed and the final tasks concerning your home are completed, your custom-built home is ready for your occupation!
