6 Essential Steps to Building Your Dream Home in Orange County, California
Step 1: Schedule Your Complimentary Lot Evaluation
Start with a complimentary preliminary lot consultation to evaluate your property's construction potential. Our team will review site conditions, access, grading considerations, utilities, zoning requirements, and potential development challenges to help you prepare for your custom home construction project.
Step 2: Explore Construction Financing Options
Connect with a qualified construction lender to discuss financing options, loan prequalification, and your anticipated construction budget. ACM Group can coordinate with your lender to help align project planning, construction documentation, and financing requirements.
Step 3: Begin Your Custom Home Design & Architectural Planning
Bring your vision to life through conceptual home design and preliminary architectural planning. Our team coordinates architectural and engineering services to help develop a design that reflects your lifestyle, property characteristics, and investment goals.
Based on the preliminary project scope, ACM Group can prepare a Preliminary Building Agreement (PBA) outlining the next steps in design development and preconstruction planning.
Step 4: Finalize Your Plans and Construction Proposal
Work with our team to refine your custom home floor plans, architectural details, structural requirements, and material selections. Once the project scope and specifications are sufficiently developed, we will prepare a detailed construction proposal and, when appropriate, a Fixed Price Construction Contract defining the agreed scope, pricing, and terms.
Step 5: Sign Your Agreement and Begin the Permitting Process
After reviewing and signing your construction agreement, complete the required deposit and preconstruction documentation. ACM Group will coordinate the applicable architectural and engineering plans, construction documents, lender submissions, and building permit applications with the appropriate local agencies.
Step 6: Watch Your Dream Home Come to Life
With the required permits, approvals, and financing in place, construction can begin! Our experienced construction management team oversees scheduling, trade coordination, quality control, inspections, and project communication throughout the building process.
From groundbreaking to the final walkthrough, ACM Group is committed to delivering quality craftsmanship, professional project management, and a custom home designed around your vision & budget.
