Farmhouse Custom Home in Barrington
A custom home in Barrington, built the way we build all of them, with the plan and the specification settled on paper long before anything was poured.
Settled on paper first
Barrington lots tend to set the terms. Grade, trees, setbacks and the way a house is allowed to sit all narrow the options before a single line is drawn, so the site walk happens early and the research into what the ground allows happens before anyone commits to a plan.
After that it is the usual order. A preliminary plan, red lined between you, us and the architect until the drawing is right. A specification meeting that goes on longer than anybody enjoys. Then a quote built off those specifications rather than a guess, and a schedule that names every task and who owns it.
