Design and Planning

Proper planning is crucial in successful custom home construction. Our team plans out the project well to ensure nothing is overlooked. This includes acquiring the permits for the plans, preparing the site, and other details.

The design includes customized floorplans that are tailored to your specific needs. We also ensure that the design holds significant market demand should you decide to sell your home in the future.

Our experienced architects and engineers make sure the structural aspect of your custom home is sound and built with integrity and safety in mind.

Before we begin construction, we ensure that we have the necessary permits. Our team is well-versed in the permit approval process and will happily handle this on your behalf.

We’ll arrange a design consultation with our design expert to determine what design and finishes you prefer. You’ll get to visit our showroom to sample all we have to offer.

We’ll assign a project manager who will oversee all aspects of the project. This is to ensure that the project is well-coordinated and completed on time and on budget.

With all the paperwork approved, construction begins. We prioritize safety, keep the construction site secure, and provide frequent updates on our progress.

It is important to us that we deliver a custom home that exceeds your expectations. We ensure that everything has been done well by conducting a walk-through inspection.

Once everything has been checked and you are completely satisfied with the results, we give you the keys to your new custom home.

We recently hired Home by Tom to convert our outdated laundry room into a fully functional bathroom, and the results exceeded our expectations in every way. From the very first consultation, Tom and his team were attentive, professional, and genuinely invested in understanding our vision.

They walked us through the entire process, design, plumbing, electrical, and finishing with clear communication at every stage. The team offered creative solutions to space constraints and incorporated high-end fixtures and modern design elements that made the new bathroom feel both spacious and luxurious.

What really stood out was their attention to detail. Every tile was perfectly aligned, the lighting was thoughtfully placed, and they managed to keep the project on schedule and within budget. They also maintained a clean and safe worksite throughout, which we really appreciated as we continued living in the home during construction.

We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Home by Tom to anyone looking to reimagine a space in their home. It’s rare to find a contractor who combines craftsmanship, reliability, and design insight so well
