CUSTOM HOME BUILDING CHECKLIST
6 ESSENTIAL STEPS TO BUILDING YOUR DREAM HOME IN ORANGE COUNTY
Building a custom home begins with the right plan. Advanced Construction Management Group (ACM Group) guides homeowners from property evaluation and architectural design through construction financing, permitting, and ground-up construction.
Evaluate Your Lot and Building Potential
Schedule a complimentary initial lot consultation to discuss site access, grading, utilities, zoning, setbacks, and development opportunities. Additional site investigations or feasibility studies may be recommended.
Plan Your Budget and Construction Financing
Discuss construction loan options with a qualified lender and establish a realistic project budget. Our team can coordinate available project information and construction documentation with your financing team.
Develop Your Custom Home Concept
Begin conceptual floor plans and architectural design based on your vision, lifestyle, and property. ACM Group coordinates architectural and engineering professionals and may prepare a Preliminary Building Agreement (PBA) for the next planning phase.
Refine Your Design and Construction Agreement
Finalize the project scope, design selections, specifications, and construction plans. Once sufficient details are established, review a comprehensive construction proposal and, where appropriate, a fixed-price construction contract.
Complete Preconstruction and Permitting
Review and sign the applicable agreement, provide required documentation, and complete payments according to contract terms and California law. Our team coordinates plan submissions, agency reviews, building permits, and lender documentation as applicable.
Begin Construction and Follow Your Project
After necessary approvals and financing are in place, construction can begin. ACM Group coordinates project schedules, construction trades, inspections, quality oversight, and communication through the final walkthrough.
