When it comes to building a custom home, a well-structured schedule isn’t just helpful—it’s essential. With so many moving parts involved in design, permitting, material production, and construction, having a clear and realistic timeline helps everyone stay aligned and on track. A thoughtful schedule sets expectations, minimizes delays, and allows for better coordination between you, your Beaver Mountain team, and your contractor. We believe that transparency and planning are key to a successful homebuilding experience, and it all starts with understanding the timeline. With clear communication, expert guidance, and realistic expectations, the process becomes straightforward and even enjoyable.
How long does it take?
On average, a 2,000-square-foot custom home takes 8 to 12 months from the start of site prep to move-in. The pace can be faster depending on your goals and the contractor’s schedule. Our design-to-delivery phase often takes just 3–4 months, and we’ll coordinate with your contractor to deliver your materials when they’re ready to build.

The Design Phase (4–8 Weeks)

1. Learning About Your Vision
We start by getting to know you. In this initial call, we’ll review your lifestyle, ideas, vision, timeline, and budget ranges while answering any questions you may have about the process.
2. Site Assessment & Design Kickoff
We’ll meet you on your property for an on-site design consultation. This is a critical step where we walk the land, evaluate the site, and discuss the architectural features you’d like to incorporate.
3. Conceptual Drawings & Turnkey Estimate
Our design team develops conceptual drawings tailored to your property, along with a preliminary turnkey estimate and proposed building schedule.
4. Finalize Design, Budget & Schedule
Together, we refine and approve your custom home design, material selections, investment level, and overall project timeline.
5. Contractor Selection & Bid Analysis
We introduce you to contractors, guide you through interviews and bid evaluations, and support you in choosing the best fit for your build.
