Understanding Your Custom Home Building Process

Warm sunshine, ocean breezes, the tang of salt water in the air, and fun with family and friends. These are some of the reasons that people return year in and year out to the beach. When you find that perfect beach spot, it’s not long before you start thinking about purchasing your own home so that you can return as often as you like or even move permanently. If you’re ready to make the investment, it is good to understand the custom home building process that turns your dreams into reality.

Design Foundations. When you choose Glenn Layton Homes, you will sit down with architect Mike Stauffer to realize your vision for your new home. You will discuss floor plans, as well as your needs, lifestyle, and your ultimate goal – and how this all fits in with your budget – to achieve a plan that can then be put into action.

Selections. Once you have an approved design plan for your new home, you will start working with Jillian Klein who will guide you from preliminary design through closing. As you begin making selections for your home’s design, she will help with deadlines, track your design choices, communicate pricing, and serve as a liaison with showroom designers and installers. To further assist with your selections, you will have the guidance of Brigetta Dawes Lamsback of The Design Studio who will work with you to select cabinets, countertops, flooring, appliances, bath tiles and lighting. You also have a webpage to help you manage and finalize your selections.

Construction. The time soon arrives for construction to begin. Glenn Layton Homes has been awarded title of Builder of the Year multiple times and they are one of the top choices for custom homes in Jacksonville Beach FL.  As the skillful construction proceeds, you will be kept up to date on important milestones and overall progress.

At the end of the process, you will have a beautiful home that epitomizes coastal living and is protected with a warranty from the Bonded Builders Warranty Group. You’ll soon discover the joys of living in a well-designed home that makes the most of indoor and outdoor living and you’ll wonder why you didn’t build your own custom beach home sooner.
