At Oakstone Homes, our team simplifies the custom home building process to make it easy and straightforward for you. We’re not your average home building company—our main focuses are quality and higher standards. We limited our business to ensure our clients get the attention to detail they deserve. We love to work one-on-one with our clients to create not just a house but a home. Let’s get started on your dream home!
The Consultation
At our first sit-down consultation we’ll make sure we’re the perfect match for each other. We’ll share our home building process while continuing to answer all your questions and concerns along the way. During this time we’ll chat home design theme, layout, floor plan, lot size and of course budget.
After the initial plans are made, we’ll create an estimate from our trusted team of subcontractors. Bids can take up to two weeks. Bidding a project is important to ensure the costs align with your budget. The initial bid will help determine if we need to tweak plans to accommodate the budget.
The Design
We have a collection of over 300 home floor plans to choose from. However, we love working with clients on custom floor plans or floor plans found online. Please keep in mind that your lot size will affect your floor plan.
We love Pinterest-worthy spaces. Our Design Director Katelyn will assist you with all of your design choices. At the first consultation please bring plans, photos, Pinterest boards, ideas and goals for your new home. When it comes to your custom home, you’ll get to pick all of the design aspects below:
- Overall design theme: farmhouse, traditional, industrial, French inspired, etc.
