What is a custom design
and build?

When you build a custom home with Location Homes, all architectural drawings, interior and exterior selections as well as construction services are managed under one roof. All you need is a budget, a site, and a list of 'must haves', and we'll work with you to bring your dream home to life. 

Our design and build process ensures that everything goes smoothly from design and pricing right through to the build. Essentially, we will take your ideas and design the best solution for your wants, needs and location. Our design team, estimators, builders, and selection experts will then work together to create the best possible solution. It's just a matter of getting started!

INITIAL CONSULTATION & SITE INSPECTION

 

During the initial consultation, we'll discuss your needs and assess the site. We then create a Preliminary Build Agreement detailing costs for informed decisions, but it's not a build contract.
