Navigate the new construction process with confidence. From lot selection to builder negotiations, we guide you through every step of building your custom Idaho home.
Design your home exactly how you want it. Choose floor plans, finishes, fixtures, and features that match your lifestyle and preferences.
New homes are built to current energy codes with modern HVAC, insulation, and appliances, saving you money on utilities from day one.
Builder warranties cover structural issues and major systems for years, giving you peace of mind and protection against unexpected repair costs.
We start by understanding your vision, budget, and timeline. We'll discuss lot options, builder choices, and financing strategies to ensure your new construction project aligns with your goals and financial capacity.
We help you find the perfect lot in the right neighborhood. We analyze lot orientation, views, HOA restrictions, school districts, and future development plans to ensure your investment is sound.
We leverage our relationships with reputable Idaho builders to connect you with the right partner. We review builder contracts, warranties, and timelines to protect your interests and ensure transparency.
We attend design meetings with you, helping you make informed decisions about floor plans, upgrades, and finishes. We'll advise on which upgrades add value and which ones to skip.
Throughout the build process, we stay in touch with the builder, monitor progress, and keep you informed of milestones. We're your advocate if issues arise during construction.
Before closing, we conduct a thorough walkthrough to ensure everything is built to specifications. We coordinate with the builder to address any punch-list items before you take possession of your new home.
We work with Idaho's most reputable builders who have proven track records of quality construction, on-time delivery, and excellent customer service. Our relationships give you access to preferred pricing, better communication, and priority scheduling.
We only recommend builders we trust—those with strong reputations, quality craftsmanship, and reliable warranties. Your investment is protected with experienced professionals.
We review builder contracts to ensure fair terms, realistic timelines, and comprehensive warranties. We negotiate on your behalf to get the best value and protection.
We know which builders are active in which communities, their typical timelines, and their specialty styles. This insider knowledge helps you make informed decisions.
We monitor construction progress and conduct inspections at key milestones to ensure quality standards are met and your home is built to specifications.
Base prices rarely include everything you want. Budget 10-20% extra for upgrades like better flooring, countertops, and landscaping. Focus on upgrades that add long-term value.
Regular site visits help you catch issues early and ensure work is progressing as planned. Take photos at each stage for your records and warranty documentation.
New construction typically takes 6-12 months from groundbreaking to move-in. Weather, material delays, and labor shortages can extend timelines. Plan accordingly.
Verbal promises don't hold up. Ensure all upgrades, changes, and agreements are documented in writing and signed by the builder before construction begins.
Consider resale value when making design choices. Overly personalized features may limit your buyer pool if you sell in the future. Balance personal taste with broad appeal.
Builder warranties typically cover structural issues for 10 years, major systems for 2-5 years, and cosmetic items for 1 year. Know what's covered and how to file claims.
Yes! Builder sales reps work for the builder, not you. Having your own agent ensures you have an advocate who protects your interests, reviews contracts, and negotiates on your behalf—at no cost to you (builder pays the commission).
New construction typically costs 10-20% more than comparable existing homes, but you get modern features, warranties, and no immediate repair needs. Long-term savings on maintenance and utilities can offset the higher upfront cost.
While base prices are often fixed, there's room to negotiate upgrades, closing costs, or incentives like rate buy-downs. We know which builders offer flexibility and how to structure offers for maximum value.
This is rare with established builders, but it's why we only recommend financially stable companies with strong track records. We also advise on construction loan protections and escrow arrangements to minimize risk.
Spec homes (already under construction) are faster and often cost less since finishes are pre-selected. Custom builds take longer but offer full personalization. We'll help you weigh the pros and cons based on your timeline and budget.
