How we build a custom home in Indianola, Iowa

A custom home is a lot of decisions. Here is what to expect, in order, so nothing catches you off guard.

Step by step

1. Start with a conversation. We talk about your lot (or help you find one), how you live, your must-haves and your timeline. There is no pressure and no obligation.
2. Plans and design. We work from your ideas, a plan you have found, or a custom design. We refine the layout until it fits your family and your land.
3. Selections. You choose the finishes: cabinets, flooring, tile, lighting, fixtures and exterior details. We guide you so the choices come together instead of piling up.
4. Permits and site prep. We handle the permits and prepare the lot, including utilities and excavation.
5. Foundation and framing. The home takes shape. This is the point where it starts to feel real.
6. Systems and finishes. Plumbing, electrical and heating go in, then insulation, drywall, paint, trim and flooring.
7. Walkthroughs. We walk the home with you before it is finished, so anything you want adjusted gets handled early.
8. Move in, and we stay in touch. After the final walkthrough, we take care of the follow-up questions that come up once you are living there.

Throughout the build, you will hear from Cody and the team directly.
