Concept and Land

The first step in building a home comes with the decision or realization that you cannot find exactly what you want, where you want it, in an existing structure. The Elan Group can help you evaluate the size and features of a new home as well as the financial aspects of the building process. If everything is understood and the decision is made to build, the next step is to find the right location.
Searching for the perfect lot can be difficult and time-consuming. We will work directly with you and/or a real estate professional. We are able to examine the land for ease of building, topography, and possible limitations.

Once you have settled on the place to build, it is time to move on to the Design Phase. If you have already purchased or identified your building site, this is where our services begin.

The Design Phase

We want you to be a part of the design process. Your lifestyle, your preferences, your needs... Pictures, sketches, written and verbal ideas will all help in getting started. Number of bedrooms, bathrooms, living areas, work areas - all of this information is provided by you. Conceptual drawings are completed first, along with preliminary specifications. Once the concept is worked out with regard to size, number of rooms, and style, the working drawings are completed along with final specifications.

From the beginning of the design phase, budget is a major consideration in creating the plans and specifications. Construction costs are estimated in very broad terms in the beginning; the margins are narrowed after the conceptual plans are completed, and a contract price is given after the plans and specifications are finalized. At each stage, alterations can be made to achieve the desired budget costs. Every project is priced according to the materials, labor, fees, and supervision which will be required to complete that particular project by the plans and specifications. There are no standard items, everything is custom.
