Why Choose Us?
With JMCH, you can expect a built-to-last, energy-efficient home constructed on schedule and within your budget.
At John Marion Custom Homes, we understand that building your dream home is a huge investment of money, time, and emotion. That’s why we listen carefully when you tell us about your needs and priorities. We dig deep and learn all we can about your daily routines, your sense of style, your space and energy needs, as well as your plans for the future. Our team’s decades of experience will serve as a guide as we walk you through every stage of building a custom home that is truly unique to you and your family.
Our Process
Building or remodeling your home should be exciting – not overwhelming. That’s why we’ve designed a process grounded in honesty, transparency, and simplicity. From our first conversation to your final walk-through, JMCH guides you with clear communication, expert insight, and genuine care – delivering a home (and experience) that exceeds expectations.
What to expect:
1. Consultation Meeting
Your journey begins with a conversation. During this initial meeting, we’ll discuss your wish list, timeline, budget goals, building location, and architectural plans. You’ll have the chance to learn more about our process, ask questions, and together we’ll determine whether we’re the right fit for your project.
2. Property Evaluation
If you are still searching for property, we can help pair you with one of our realtor partners to assist with finding you the perfect build location. If you have already purchased property, a member of our construction team will visit your lot or land to evaluate the conditions and give you feedback on how topography, utilities, and clearing may impact your home’s design and budget.
3. Design
After you have purchased property you should begin designing the floor plans for your home. If you haven't already selected an architect or draftsman, we can help pair you with one. Throughout that process, we will work closely with you and that design team to help be a guide in achieving your vision while staying within the target budget range without compromising quality.
4. Estimating
Once you’ve finalized your plans and preliminary selections, we’ll enter into an Estimating Agreement and begin developing a comprehensive construction budget. Using current material and labor bids, we prepare a detailed breakdown of projected costs. At the end of this phase, you’ll receive a clear, itemized budget outlining the expected investment for your home’s construction.
5. Contract
The scope of work, building specifications and final budget will be approved by signing our Construction Contract. You will then be able to finalize any financial arrangements needed regarding a bank loan and disbursements through a title company of your choice.
6. Construction
With your final contract and funding in place, we’re ready to move into the active construction phase. You’ll be assigned a dedicated Site Superintendent who will oversee all work on site, coordinate subcontractors, and serve as your primary point of contact throughout the build. During this phase, you’ll receive weekly progress updates and participate in scheduled site visits, walk-throughs, and selection meetings as needed.
7. Home Delivery
The moment you’ve been waiting for has arrived! While this stage is exciting, we understand it can also feel a bit overwhelming. Our team takes care of the final details—completing punch-list items and securing your Occupancy Permit—so everything is ready for your move-in. We will then conduct a Home Orientation walk through where we’ll review your selections, demonstrate how to use new systems, and provide a homeowner’s binder with important numbers, manuals and maintenance tips to keep your home looking and performing its best for years to come.
8. Post Construction
As your partner, we remain by your side well beyond the completion of your home. Warranty item management will be addressed as needed per the terms in your contract.
