The planning process, in regards to building home, is an integral part of the project. Decisions are made from the square footage of the house to the placement of the stairs. Working with a home builder at this stage is an exciting part of the process. As a home builder, Patagonia - Idaho Homes wants your home to truly reflect the lifestyle and the aesthetic reflection of your needs and tastes.

The Initial Consultation
Which comes first, lot or floor plan? Before securing your lot sit down and go through some preliminary plans whish are available in books, the library or the Internet. These plans will give you some ideas and a basic concepts of what you want with your custom home. These plans, are often a starting point, in which numerous provisions are made to the final custom building plans. Patagonia - Idaho Homes will be extremely helpful in assisting you at this stage. We may make suggestions and introduce fresh ideas into the building of your home.

The Cost of Your Home
The cost of your custom home is accomplished by arriving at a rough cost estimate that is established by reviewing the plans and the home owners preference. This square footage and pricing is only an approximate of the final cost. At this time, the rough cost estimate will fit your desired budget.

Questionnaire and Secured Bids
The next step is to prepare an exact price for your custom built home. To determine the features and exact price, a detailed questionnaire is discussed. At this stage specific preferences are paramount. Material options and quality materials are discussed and determined. Once the preferences are known, bids are secured from the contractors and suppliers. A final price of the home is established, a contract is signed and the final detailed provisions are made to the plans. At this time, work commences, permits are obtained from relevant jurisdictions, excavation begins and the foundation for the house starts.

Interior/Exterior Selections
