At Choate Custom Homes we have a unique process for building your perfect home. We start with our LifeCentric™ assessment where determine how you live your life. We then take all of that information and either tweak an existing blueprint you already have or work with our partner architects to develop a custom sketched blueprint where we will guarantee that we can build it within 5% of our design quote.
Choate Homes strives for unparalleled excellence, superior quality and most importantly, total customer satisfaction. We want you to enjoy your homebuilding experience throughout the entire process - which is why we have outlined these seven building phases to better explain the steps involved in completing your Choate Home. There are many things that happen behind the scenes before we can begin construction of your home. First, a lot must be purchased for your home (if applicable.) Second, your dreams need to be put to paper in the form of workable blueprints (we can be very helpful with this). Third, we must obtain all of the necessary permits required to begin our process.
Once the preparation and planning is complete we are ready to START BUILDING!
Phase I (Foundation is complete)
To complete phase I, the lot is cleared, the foundation layout is staked, and the footings/foundation walls are poured.
Phase II (Framing is complete)
Phase II is complete when your home's interior and exterior walls (1st and 2nd floors, if applicable) are built and set in place; the exterior walls are covered with vapor barrier material; your trusses/roof framing is completed; and the roof sheeting is nailed in place.
