Designing and building a custom home is one of life’s most exciting adventures—and choosing the right partner for the journey is essential. At Holloway Family Homes, we’ve spent over 76 years perfecting a streamlined and supportive home building process that turns your dream home into reality. Whether you’re starting with land or selecting one of our signature home plans, we guide you through each step with clarity, care, and craftsmanship.

From Blueprint to Move-In: Understanding the Home Building Process

Building a home isn’t just about bricks and blueprints. It’s about people, priorities, and a proven plan. Our structured home construction process is tailored to remove guesswork and stress, allowing you to focus on what matters most creating a space that reflects your lifestyle and legacy.

Step 1: Dream & Design

Every great home begins with a vision. At Holloway Family Homes, we start the home building process with a detailed consultation to understand your goals, style preferences, budget, and timeline. This includes:

• Choosing the perfect floor plan from our wide selection

• Customizing design elements to reflect your taste

• Identifying features that support your family’s needs

Our experienced design team works alongside you to ensure your home is a unique reflection of your personality, not just a copy-paste template.

Step 2: Site Evaluation & Land Preparation

Location matters—and whether you’re building on your own lot or need help finding the perfect plot, we assist every step of the way. Our team conducts a thorough site evaluation to:

• Assess soil, drainage, and grading

• Confirm zoning and permitting requirements

• Ensure utility access and infrastructure compatibility

This crucial phase ensures that your land is fully prepped and primed for a smooth home construction process from day one.

Step 3: Finalizing Plans & Securing Financing

Once the land and design are confirmed, we move forward with finalizing architectural plans and establishing a construction agreement. During this phase, we also help coordinate financing options that suit your budget. Our long-standing relationships with local lenders mean you’ll receive competitive rates and flexible terms.

Step 4: Permitting & Pre-Construction

Before breaking ground, all necessary permits must be approved by local authorities. Our team manages:

• Building permit applications

• HOA approvals (if applicable)

• Pre-construction inspections

You’ll also meet your dedicated project manager—your go-to resource for updates, timelines, and questions throughout the home building process.

Step 5: Construction Begins

This is where your dream truly starts to take shape. The home construction process is divided into key phases:

1. Foundation: Grading, excavation, and concrete pouring

2. Framing: Structural walls, roofing, and layout

3. Systems: Plumbing, electrical, and HVAC installation

4. Interior & Exterior Finishes: Insulation, drywall, flooring, cabinetry, paint, roofing, and siding

Throughout construction, we conduct routine quality checks and inspections to uphold our legacy of excellence. You’ll also be invited for walk-throughs at major milestones, so you stay connected to the build.

Step 6: Final Inspection & Walkthrough

As the final nail is driven and paint dries, we prepare your home for the final walkthrough. Together, we’ll:

• Conduct a full quality inspection

• Address any touch-ups or corrections

• Provide a new home orientation for systems and features

We treat every home as if we’re building it for our own family, ensuring that no detail goes overlooked.

Step 7: Welcome Home

The final step in the home building process is the best one—move-in day. But even after you receive your keys, we’re still here for you. Every Holloway Family Home is backed by a warranty and a dedicated post-construction support team to give you peace of mind.
