Design / Build Process

Authentic Custom Homes Design/Build Process

The ACH Design-Build process typically begins with an interview gathering session with Israel Peña.

This initial step includes home-site considerations, space needs, family lifestyle, special desired features, materials, finishes, cost parameters, etc. Based on these discussions and information exchanges, Israel Pena will design the preliminary floor plan and the exterior design character of the home. The design team will continue the drawings to produce a front elevation colored rendering for presentation to the client.

After review and input by the client, the design development phase will continue until the design of the new home is approved. Then, the construction working drawings and specifications are completed and reviewed with the client.

The final step is for ACH to prepare the construction proposal. Upon signing of the proposal construction can typically start within two weeks.

The time frame from the initial design interview to construction start is typically 90 to 120 days total. ACH will also assist the client in obtaining financing and will provide the decorator services as part of the construction cost.
