Our Building Process

If you’re looking for a custom home builder, Jacksonville FL is the best place to be because that is where you’ll find Glenn Layton Homes. Their custom coastal-style homes are found in some of the most luxurious and beautiful neighborhoods and communities along the North Florida coast. They understand that choosing to build a custom home is a big step for many people, so they work carefully with each client every step of the way. From the first meeting to the final walk-through, their building process is designed to keep every client informed and satisfied.

It all starts with the initial meeting when you give your contact at Glenn Layton Homes a sense of what you envision in your dream home. As well as the visuals of the home, you’ll discuss where you want to live, what your timeline is, and what your budget is. They have a variety of lenders they work with to help clients find the best option.

Once you have a location chosen, you’ll walk through it to get a sense of what the site conditions will be. You’ll then meet with Mike Stauffer, an award-winning architect, who will spend time with you discussing exactly how you actually live in your home and what you want out of your custom home. He then draws up a customized floor plan that covers everything from closet space to entertaining. You’ll also meet with the design team and vendors to discuss the interior details such as flooring, cabinetry, lighting and more.

Once you have the initial plans, the team will walk you through the entire home plan, from the front door through to the backyard, making sure you’re getting everything you want in your custom home. Only then it is time for the purchase agreement. Once that is signed, you’ll have a pre-construction meeting with your project manager to review your plans and selections and then construction begins. You’ll also make your final choices on the design elements such as paint, flooring, and other elements that you previewed with the design team. These are some of the elements that really help you envision the final home.

Throughout the construction phase, you will be able to make use of the Co-Construct communication system, which keeps you in the loop every step of the way. Of course, if you have questions along the way, simply call or email for any clarification.

One your home is complete, you’ll walk through it and learn how every element works during the new home orientation meeting. Warranties will be discussed, keys will be handed over, and you’ll be thrilled that when you were looking for a custom home builder, Jacksonville FL was where you found Glenn Layton Homes. The result is a luxury coastal home that is both unique and efficient, giving you the feeling of being on a dream vacation every day.
