Our Process
We simplify the custom-build process — bringing all essential resources to the table. We are a single point of contact; creating a streamlined, efficient, and cost conscious building experience.
Step 1
Project Scope
At The Hope Group, we sit on the same side of the table, approaching your custom home project from your vantage point: Your needs, design style, expectations, budget — we gather these essential cues and elements to formulate your master project vision.
Step 2
Site Selection
Whether you have a neighborhood in mind or need our team to find land that ideally suits your specifications, we have the local knowledge and resources to provide you with well-curated site selection options.
Step 3
Builder Selection
We work with the area’s leading custom builders— and so, we know their strengths, limitations, personalities, etc. We’re the most qualified professionals that match you and your project profile and then arrange discovery meetings, so you can choose your ideal builder with complete confidence.
Step 4
Financing
We work with several premier lenders that offer a host of loan products designed to meet your individual needs. Often, we can combine the land and construction cost into a one-time close, at an added savings to you.
Step 5
Architect and Interior Designer Selection
To ensure your finished home is exactly what you’re looking for the architect and designers will work with you from beginning to end.
