At Schrader Construction & Services, we understand the importance of guiding our clients through the complex process of bringing their dream home to life. This journey from concept to creation may seem daunting, but with the right partner by your side, it's a deeply rewarding experience.The first step in the custom home-building process is the conceptualization phase. Here, homeowners envision their ideal living space, considering layout, design elements, and functionality. This stage is crucial as it sets the foundation for the entire project. At Schrader Construction & Services, we work closely with our clients to capture every detail of their vision. We recommend brainstorming ideas and gathering inspiration from various sources, including magazines, online platforms, and even past experiences in homes that resonated with them.Once a clear vision is established, the design phase begins. This is where dreams start to become reality through architectural plans and blueprints. Our expert team collaborates with skilled architects and designers to develop a plan that aligns with both aesthetic desires and practical needs. During this phase, it's important to consider not just the visual appeal but also energy efficiency, future-proof designs, and the latest technology and trends in home construction.With a design in hand, the project moves into the planning and permitting stage. This step involves a lot of behind-the-scenes work, such as obtaining the necessary permits and ensuring compliance with local building codes.

We encourage our clients to regularly visit the site and stay updated on the progress to ensure their vision is being realized accurately.Upon completion, the focus shifts to the finishing touches and inspection.
