Our Process – Custom Homes & Renovations
At Harrod Built, we believe that building or renovating a home should be an organized, transparent, and exciting experience. Whether you're starting from scratch on your dream custom home or reimagining your current space with a renovation, we’re here to guide you through every phase of the process — from concept to completion.

Step 1: Initial Consultation
We begin with a personal consultation to understand your vision, needs, budget, and timeline. Whether it’s a ground-up custom home or a targeted remodel, we listen carefully to learn what matters most to you.
Step 2: Design & Planning
For custom homes, we work closely with architects and designers to develop plans that reflect your style, lifestyle, and lot conditions. For renovations, we assess the existing structure, explore layout ideas, and ensure everything aligns with your goals.
We handle:
• Design coordination
• Feasibility assessments
• Preliminary budgets and timelines
Step 3: Permits & Pre-Construction
Our team handles the permitting process, site prep, and all pre-construction logistics. We communicate regularly during this phase so you feel informed and confident before we break ground.
Step 4: Build Phase
This is where your vision takes shape. Our team of experienced craftsmen and subcontractors carry out the work with precision and care. We maintain consistent oversight and communication throughout all phases of construction — from foundation to final finishes.
For renovations, we take extra care to protect your home, minimize disruption, and keep the work area safe and clean.
Step 5: Finishes & Walkthrough
We guide you through material selections, fixture choices, and final design touches. As the project nears completion, we schedule a thorough walkthrough to ensure everything meets our standards — and yours.
Step 6: Completion & Move-In
Once construction is complete, we turn over your finished home and provide information on maintenance, warranties, and ongoing support. We stand behind our work and are here even after you move in.
