Questions

Frequently asked questions.

Process

How long does it take to build a custom home?

Construction of a custom home can take six months to over a year, depending on the type and size of the home. Planning, design and finding a lot come first: pre construction alone can take three to six months, or up to a year if you are still deciding what you want. From the first meeting to move in, most clients should plan on a year and a half to two years.

Do I get to pick my own lot?

Yes. You can pick your own lot, or we can help you find one. If you choose your own, we are always available to look at it with you and talk through what it means for your design.

How much can I customize my home?

All of it. You decide which rooms you want, how many, and their sizes and shapes. You choose where things go, from the kitchen sink and range to fireplaces and closets, and how much shelving and storage you want and where.

What should I think about before we design my home?

A few good starting points: the size of home you want, an open or more traditional floor plan, which rooms you need (an office, a guest room, a second living room), one story or more, and any special features such as an extra fireplace or a kitchen island. We will help you through every decision.

How will I know how my build is going?

We keep in close contact through each step using our online management tool. Even when you are away from Southern Utah, you can approve design features and see construction updates.

Will my home be inspected during construction?

Yes. We run through several inspections as we build, including third party inspections of systems such as HVAC, roofing, electrical and plumbing.

Warranty

Does my home come with a warranty?

Yes. Every custom home we build comes with a Quality Builders Warranty, a 10 year warranty backed by Liberty Mutual. See the Warranty page for coverage details and how to submit a request.

What does the warranty cover?

In the first year it covers items such as doors, windows, roofing, lot drainage, masonry, carpentry, plumbing and electrical. Septic, pipes and ductwork are covered through year two. For the full 10 years, load bearing walls, roof framing, foundation and floor systems are covered.
