A key element that Sterling Custom Homes’ clients appreciate in the architectural process is the fact we save them thousands of dollars on their plans. Through a 4 stage custom home building process that Sterling has perfected over the last 20 years, our clients eagerly testify that our methods are thorough and efficient and render the results they desire from both a design and budgetary perspective.

The goal of Stage I is to produce a 1″:10′ Initial Sketch that illustrates the fundamental necessities and desires in the home. The first meeting with the builder and architect will be to determine basic information such as number of bedrooms and baths, location of study, game room, media room, etc. Also included in this initial discussion is design style, interior design features such as arches, niches, columns, moldings, and special pieces of furniture or art that require unique design considerations. The builder and architect also encourage the client to bring photographs, magazines and other information that will convey to them details and “must haves” for their home. Through this interaction we get a feel for each client’s unique lifestyle, allowing us to direct the design process towards a layout that will compliment their way of life. Read More→
