Our Process
Bringing Your Dream Home to Life
At Barker Custom Homes, with over 30 years of experience in Northern Colorado, we take pride in our meticulous and client-focused approach to building custom homes. Whether you are starting a new construction, remodeling, or adding to your home, our comprehensive process ensures that your vision is realized with precision and excellence.
A Team Approach
Building a custom home begins with assembling your expert team. Your team will include an architect, and potentially an interior designer, along with your active participation. This collaborative approach ensures that design and budget are harmoniously aligned from the outset. By interviewing potential team members and selecting those who resonate with your vision and requirements, you set the stage for a successful project. Good communication and a shared understanding of goals are crucial for achieving your dream home.
The Design Process
The design process is a key phase where your vision begins to take shape. Starting with the concept stage, you’ll create initial sketches and layouts, keeping your budget in mind. Our builder and interior designer will work with you to refine these ideas, ensuring that design and cost considerations are addressed. Detailed construction drawings will follow, incorporating structural necessities and integrating feedback from mechanical contractors. This phase includes finalizing specifications and selecting finishes to ensure every detail aligns with your expectations.
The Bidding Process
Once the construction documents and specifications are complete, your project enters the bidding phase. We use detailed plans to solicit competitive bids from qualified contractors, ensuring you receive fair pricing and high-quality craftsmanship. This stage may involve adjustments to plans or specifications based on the bids received. It's a critical phase where thorough planning and competitive bidding help in establishing the final cost and project scope.
The Construction Process
With everything in place, the construction phase begins. This includes groundwork, framing, and the installation of mechanical systems. The framing phase, where your home starts to take shape, is particularly exciting as it gives a clear view of the final layout. Subsequent stages involve installing mechanical systems, finishing interiors, and working on exterior details. We ensure that every step, from drywall installation to final finishes, meets our high standards of quality.
