2. Custom Home Design
During the design stage, floor plans, layouts, and architectural details are developed. Homeowners choose features that make their home truly custom, including room layout, exterior style, and functional living spaces.

5. Interior Finishes
Interior elements such as cabinetry, tile, flooring, countertops, lighting, and paint are installed. These selections bring the design vision to life and personalize the home.
6. Final Walkthrough & Move-In
