Step 8: Price Preliminary Plan & Specifications
In the Specifications Meetings we walked through the Preliminary Plan room by room identifying all the materials and finishes to be used to create your unique custom home. We now compile all this information using our proprietary Sterling Custom Home Pricing Module to produce a detailed Cost Sheet. The Cost Sheet itemizes all the cost components for your project, giving us a clear picture of where your money is being spent. If we want to identify potential cost-saving areas, all the information needed is right at our fingertips. Revised Cost Sheets are produced in a matter of minutes, giving the client the benefit of comparing several different scenarios before final approval. Read More→

Sterling Custom Homes – Austin, Texas
The key to a pleasant custom home building experience lies in the processes and organization developed by your Austin custom homebuilder. At Sterling Custom Homes, we have created and continually refine our systems to provide you with the most organized, enjoyable building experience in the industry.
This blog series will delve into our pre-construction process, which contains 10 easy steps that carefully guide you to the actual construction of your unique Sterling Custom Home.
Step 6: Preliminary Plan Review
In our world a preliminary plan is a ¼” scale version of the clients’ floor plan and elevation. You’ll recall that the prior plan versions were at a smaller 1”=10’ scale. We review the ¼” scale plan with the clients, providing them with furniture cutouts to work on the space planning. Any changes to the plan are communicated to the architect and a final Preliminary Plan is produced.
Step 7: Finalize Preliminary Plan and Specifications
Once the preliminary plan is finalized, we meet with the clients to go through the Sterling Detailed Specifications. In these meetings we will take the client through the plan, room by room, and define the scope of the project. We will discuss every option available as we determine the materials and finishes that will be applied. Our specially developed interactive software system automates this process and produces a comprehensive document defining every detail of this unique home. Read More→
Sterling Custom Homes – Lake Travis Waterfront
Sterling Custom Homes, your premier Austin Texas custom homebuilder, has been developing innovative processes that make your homebuilding experience both organized and enjoyable - since 1989.
This blog series will delve into our pre-construction process, which contains 10 easy steps that carefully guide you to the actual construction of your unique Sterling Custom Home.
Step 4: Initial Meeting with the Architect
This important meeting is usually conducted at the homesite. Here, the architect will gain an understanding of the lot characteristics, such as Trees, topography, view corridors, sun orientation, etc. In conversational format we will learn more about the clients’ lifestyle and the vision they have for the home. With the budget in mind, the architect is already envisioning the layout and design. The builder will be thinking more about budgets and construction costs, but this is why it’s important to have the entire team working together in the design process. There is no challenge in designing a home that the client will love – but is over budget. The expertise and creativity come into play when making the critical design decisions that will enable us to bring the architecture and budget together for the client.
Step 5: Conceptual Plan Review
Our first look at a floor plan, this sketch is a small scale drawing of the layout of the home. We review this plan with the client and help them understand how the plan flows. We talk about things like the finished floor elevation, slab heights, retaining walls, ceiling heights and a number of other technical items. We explain in understandable terms the components of the plan that will have the biggest impact on cost. As a team, we work together to make the most of your vision while keeping a close eye on the budget. Read More→
