Vision & Discovery

Your new home is the start of a new adventure and a personal journey. After much thought and contemplation, it’s time to articulate your unique vision via detailed architectural notes, concepts, and ideas. At this point in the journey nearly anything is possible, as Trailside guides you through this initial phase to accomplish the following benchmarks:
  • The selection and purchase of your homesite. To initiate, simply provide Trailside with the homesite Tax ID, Lot Number, and/or address.
  • Sharing of your unique vision, including architecture style, number of bedrooms/bathrooms, approximate square footage, the relationship between indoor/outdoor spaces, and other considerations.
  • Now it is possible to focus on the details — both aesthetic and functional — that you value most. These can be prioritized visually by creating vision boards on design services such as Pinterest and Houzz.
  • Next, Trailside assists you in determining your home’s build path, depending on whether you decide to utilize an existing Trailside design or opt for a fully custom home that contours to your unique vision.
  • Finally, Trailside guides you through your home’s financing options, proactively reaching out to lenders, gauging your comfort level, and ensuring that construction cost never exceeds budget.

Deliverables:

  • Your Vision
  • Home Goals
  • Personal Budget
