The beauty in building custom estates is that every client is looking for a unique style and design that will fit their personal lifestyle. We take great pride in working closely with you to develop a home that is a direct reflection of your creative vision. Not only must the home be an extension of your style preferences, but also the needs of you and your family.

Lot Selection

The first step in bringing your vision to life is working with our Elite management team to determine your family’s objectives for the estate. What is the desired size of the home? What type of setting and style are you looking to achieve? Once these things are understood we will work with you to find the right lot to fit these guidelines or work with the lot you already own.

From this point we will either work with your architect or bring in one of our preferred architects/designers based on the style of the home and your preferences. We have a group of designer that specialize in contemporary, southwest contemporary, Tuscan, Spanish Colonial, Hacienda, and Territorial. We work closely with our clients and architects to arrange the plans in such a way that satisfies all your hopes and dreams from the start. This is the first time your vision will be interpreted onto paper as the preliminary design gets underway-making this a very important step in assuring your home matches your original concept.

Materials

After determining the architecture and layout of your home it is time to start pursuing the many unique facets that will be found inside your Elite estate.  Exterior color, stone, accenting stone, paint stain colors, door styles, wrought iron color and style, and driveway material are just a few of the many material choices needed to be made. Not to mention the many interior selections such as cabinets, countertops, flooring, paint colors, appliances, and light fixtures. Don’t be alarmed by the abundance of decisions that need to be made. The Elite team coupled with an interior designer will help you each step of the way.

Head to the City

Once all the exterior and interior design decisions have been made it is time to send the architectural and engineering plans to the city for approval. The approval process takes anywhere from 4-8 weeks. In the mean time we will be meeting with you to create what we call the “Green Sheet”.  The Green Sheet displays the specifics of all the underground plumbing, electric, soap niches, and many other small specifics.  Once the Green Sheet is filled out the extensive decision making process for you is, for the most part, over. It is almost time to see your vision take shape and begin the construction process!
