Our Process
CHICAGO CUSTOM HOME BUILDING AND REMODELING
It’s exciting to dream of building a beautiful custom home, yet it can also be a little intimidating. Trying to envision a home just by looking at blueprints can be a challenge, even for an experienced architect. Our Process can help you work through the process of designing the perfect floor plan to fit your unique requirements. Our Chicago custom homes reflect the unique lifestyle and interests of our homeowners with features designed to fit their needs perfectly.
Our Process is dedicated to customer satisfaction beginning from our initial consultation, throughout the construction process and after you move-in to your beautiful new home. We take great pride in creating timeless homes incorporating todays popular design trends, high-end finishes and energy efficient building components combined to create a beautiful new home to last a lifetime.
Whether you’re looking for a spacious two-story custom home for your growing family or for a comfortable single-story ranch home for retirement, Skycrest Homes can create the new home of your dreams. We also work with professionals moving to the area and can provide guidance on which suburban Chicago locations would be best for your needs.
What’s on your custom home wish list?
A home office with built-in shelving, a unique kids playroom with a loft hideaway, a finished basement with a media room and a wine cellar, a home gym, or maybe you’re dreaming of conveniences like a second-story laundry room or a main-floor master suite. With Skycrest Homes you can consider one of our many exceptional floor plans to fit your needs or begin from scratch by working with an architect to design your Chicago custom home from the ground up. Either way, you’ll find our reputation for excellence is matched by our customer service oriented approach. We’ll work with you throughout the entire design process until you are not only satisfied, but also excited about the possibilities for your new home.
Skycrest Homes offers assistance from selecting the perfect lot for your new home through the completion of a comprehensive plan. We ensure your satisfaction and work hard to understand your vision. We’ll start by having several educational and informational meetings well before construction begins.
See the quality craftsmanship first-hand. We are always available to accompany you on a tour of any of our homes. We’ll take the time to get to know each other and find out what you may be looking for in a custom home.
Skycrest Homes allows you to enjoy the process of creating a home just for you. Here’s an outline of our home-building process.
Site Evaluation
Often the initial client meeting occurs at the site of construction. The site may be a lot that you already own, or are considering to purchase, or one of our lots. At this site visit, we walk the property and make recommendations regarding the height, location, orientation and placement of the home. This is a critical part of the building process because it is where the inspiration for your design begins. Following the site visit, we research set-backs, building codes, and review the survey plat.
Design
We pride ourselves on building your custom home around you; your needs, wants and lifestyle. Beginning with a list of wants and needs, an initial plan design will be developed for your new home. Once a preliminary plan is drawn, we’ll sit down with you and thoroughly review the plan to determine what changes need to be made (red-lining). This collaborative effort continues between the customer, Skycrest Homes and the architect, until a final blueprint is created.
Quote
Our client specification meeting is very detailed. Reviewing specific details early in the process helps to eliminate surprises and allows us to quote what our customers want to build. The home is then quoted based on the outlined specifications and reviewed with you. Together we make adjustments to the plan design and pricing to meet budget considerations. We also review the terms of our building contract.
Pre-Construction
With a signed contract, we’ll establish a start date and complete a project schedule. This comprehensive project schedule identifies each task and pending decision in the building process, the responsible party and the completion date. A final site meeting will take place to determine the location of the driveway and home, as well as the height of the home.
Build
We’ll be in constant contact throughout the building process. Skycrest Homes take a personal interest to ensure your house is completed to specification within the allotted time period and with strict attention to detail. You will know exactly what and when decisions need to be made, as well as what is happening at your home on any given day. We’ll meet regularly to review the progress and you will get to know each other as we work on your home.
