CUSTOM HOME DESIGN/BUILD PROCES
With over twenty years of experience in creating beautiful and functional spaces for our clients, we have been able to streamline our building process into a successful, and collaborative experience that offers homeowners a high-quality, personalized, and timely finished product. As a Design / Build firm, the foundation of our process is based on trust and communication. We offer our clients a unique, turnkey solution to new home luxury construction by handling all aspects of the design, estimating, construction, finishes, and product selections. By keeping all of our services in- house, clients deal with only one firm from initial concept to final execution. We focus on forming a partnership leading to a positive working relationship, a stress-free project implementation, and ultimately a custom-built home that embodies the highest levels of craftsmanship, design, and personalized luxury.
BUILDING OUR RELATIONSHIP
Our first meeting is an initial consultation where we are able to acquaint ourselves with you, our client, to understand your vision and discuss your preferences, and requirements for your new custom-built home. Whether you provide us a set of house plans, or our in-house design team creates a customized design tailored to your needs, we take the time to conceptualize your vision and make sure that our design encompasses all of the necessary elements to meet your requirements and exceed your expectations. We will perform a site evaluation of your property if you own land and offer recommendations for what type of property would best suit your chosen design or location based on factors such as the lot size, its orientation, zoning regulations, and possible site challenges.

CONCEPTUAL DESIGN
The next step in the process includes the Design Agreement and Conceptual Plans. Following your initial design consultation and signed Design Agreement, our design team then develops a scaled conceptual design of your house plans that includes 3D renderings, architectural style, layout and floor plans, size and square footage, materials and finishes, custom features and inspiration pictures that help show our creative vision for your project. Along with the conceptual design and house plans, we also present a detailed cost breakdown that outlines the estimated expenses for materials, labor, permits and any other relevant costs to ensure your vision aligns with your financial capabilities. An advantage that we offer as a Design/Build firm is that we discuss the costs of the project from the first step of the design so that we are able to manage our client’s expectations and keep our designs grounded in reality. We meet with you to present the plans and budget and explain the thought process behind our design decisions so you can visualize and understand the proposed architectural design.

REFINING AND REVISING
Following the conceptual design, we then make any necessary revisions to ensure that your custom designed house plans meet your specific needs, lifestyle, functional requirements, and aesthetic preferences. At this point in the process, we can also provide additional renderings, 3D models, or construction details that may be required to help finalize the vision and scope of the project. We also refine the budget of the project through the revision process by deciding on specific materials, finishes, and features. Your salesperson will help to guide you through the revision process and make sure that you understand your options and the corresponding costs. By working through the revision and decision process we can arrive on a final design, scope, and budget that ensures every party is on the same page and that all of your needs are met prior to implementing the project.

CONTRACTS / APPROVALS / PERMITTING
Once the design, scope, and budget have all been finalized we will then provide you with a contract to sign to finalize the design process and move into the implementation phase. At this point in the process the contract will be based on a fixed price for the agreed upon scope of work and a defined project completion date. Once we have the signed contract in hand, we will then begin the permitting and approval process. We manage every step of the permitting process ensuring that all of the necessary approvals are obtained from the necessary authorities prior to starting construction.

BRINGING IT TO LIFE
Once the necessary permits and approvals have been obtained, we then schedule a pre-construction meeting. At this meeting your salesperson will introduce you to your dedicated project manager who will be your primary point of contact during the construction phase of the project. At the pre-construction meeting, we cover all the necessary details to ensure that the project runs smoothly including the construction schedule, overall project timeline, preferred communication methods, etc. Once the construction begins your project manager will provide you with daily updates of the progress and will communicate with you regularly so that the process is as seamless and stress free as possible. Your project manager also works hand in hand with our designers and our expert craftsman to help bring your luxury custom home to life throughout the duration of the job.

HELPING YOU CREATE YOUR DREAM DESIGN
The ability to bring a client’s vision to life is a critical element when designing a luxury custom home and as one of Atlanta’s most recognized leaders in the residential construction industry, our proven Design / Build process offers homeowners a one-of-a-kind, innovative design that combines their unique preferences and style with the highest levels of quality and craftsmanship.
From the very beginning of your home building journey, you will have a clear vision of your custom dream home. The Boyce team of skilled architects, designers, and craftsmen are passionate about their craft and work closely with you to understand your specific needs, desires, and design aesthetics. From the initial conceptualization and architectural design to the selection of premium materials and the construction process, we maintain an unwavering commitment to providing homeowners with a dream home that exceeds their expectations.
AN EXCLUSIVE DESIGN TO SUIT EVERY STYLE
Three-dimensional models and detailed renderings are powerful tools when designing a new home. Our team uses the latest technology to create a lifelike representation of the custom design, allowing clients to see what their finished dream home will look like before construction begins. This realism helps the homeowners, builders and designers visualize the project more effectively and make informed decisions throughout the design process.
Another key advantage of using a 3D rendering is the ability to identify design flaws, inconsistencies, or areas that may need improvement. This early validation can save time and money by addressing issues in the planning stage rather than during construction.
AN INDIVIDUALIZED PROCESS THAT CREATES UNIQUE RESULTS
We offer our clients a unique, turnkey process for new luxury home construction by managing all aspects of the design, estimating, construction, finish, and product selections. By keeping all of our services in- house, we can streamline the building process, enhance the quality of the final product, and provide a more satisfying experience for our homeowners.
Behind the scenes, Boyce Design + Build has several teams of experienced professionals working together to ensure every aspect of your project meets your exact requirements. However, during our entire working relationship you will have a dedicated point of contact that carefully listens to all of your concerns and stays in close communication with you regarding the status of your project.
WE OFFER OUR CLIENTS A ONE STOP SHOP FOR CUSTOM HOME BUILDS
After you have settled on a conceptual plan and are ready to move forward with construction, our design team will prepare a complete set of construction documents that include the necessary information to permit and construct the job.
Construction documents are a critical component when building a new custom home because they provide clarity, ensure compliance with regulations, help manage costs and quality, and serve as a valuable resource throughout the construction process and beyond.
FINISH SELECTIONS
Our interior design team will also collaborate with you to select interior and exterior finishes for your new home. By understanding your style preferences and lifestyle, we will present you with a selection of finishes, color palettes, and design styles that align with your vision and overall aesthetic.
