Custom Build Process

Fisher Custom Homes has a straightforward building process that alleviates unnecessary stress and anxiety and allows you to enjoy the home building experience.

The first step in the custom home building process is to establish your budget and determine your financing. This can seem overwhelming, however, Fisher Custom Homes will walk you through all of your options. Once the financing and budget have been dealt with, the next step is to secure a lot.

Although homebuyers are generally anxious to get started on the home design process, you can’t start designing your home until you know your lot configurations. There are a few different options when it comes to choosing a lot; you can choose your lot or you can have the friendly people at Fisher Custom Homes find you a lot. They can easily match you with a land seller that they work with. They also have inventory lots that homebuyers can choose from. Finally, many times homebuyers will choose a Fisher Custom Home that is already designed and under construction. This last option can be a much easier option for many homebuyers.

The next step of the custom build process is design. There are a couple of different options for homebuyers when it comes to the design of their Fisher custom home. Many homebuyers see a Fisher custom home and choose to start with that as a base design and then make changes to that overall design. Another option is to come with specific ideas for your dream home and have it built the way you have imagined, as a full custom design. 

Have Your Home Contracted & Permitting

Having the house contracted is the next step. Fisher Custom Homes has a set of specifications they start with. From there homebuyers can upgrade or change things as they see necessary. Once all these steps have been taken, homebuyers will be ready for permitting. The permit process can take place while the house is being contracted. This process generally takes 60 to 90 days. Now, it’s time to start construction.

Normal Construction time on a Fisher Custom Home is about 7 months from start to finish. This is an exciting time! Fisher Custom Homes welcomes homebuyers to be as involved as they would like throughout the construction of their new home. 

Warranty

Once the home is built and ready to move in, homebuyers will review their home warranty. Custom Fisher Homes has a very detailed warranty. Homebuyers will have a 90-day follow-up where any tweaks will be fixed and adjustments will be made. One year after closing, Custom Fisher Homes will come through and do a final walk-through. By this time, the home has gone through all four seasons and most of the settlement and drying out that will occur has already occurred. Any nail pops, sediment cracks, or recocking that is needed will be taken care of at this time. The final part of the warranty is the 5-year major structural.
