Easy Steps to Build On Your Lot


Learn About Our Process:

STEP 1. Dream of Your New Home

Picture yourself living in your brand new home. How you want it to look, the location, and the peace of mind of knowing that everything is new, maintenance free and with a 10 year limited warranty.

Work with a knowledgeable team with superior service at a local level.

Our simplified, customer oriented process will make building your custom home easier than you ever could have imagined.

STEP 2. Meet with Our Design Consultant

Our design consultants can help you select from a portfolio of fabulous custom home plans which can be modified to fit your needs and our knowledgeable staff can assist in designing your brand new home. You may also bring your ideas or your own plans and our staff will assist in designing your custom home to build on your lot.

STEP 3. Free Home Site Analysis

That means we travel to your lot to assess site cost which could include, digging the foundation, clearing the lot of trees, water and electric service, well and septic, etc. We will meet you there to discuss location and the elevation of your new home. You will have peace of mind knowing that there are no hidden cost and no surprise charges with our new home construction.

STEP 4. We Complete Drawings

We have many new home construction plans to start from or we are able to start from your ideas for a new home. We have an in-house draftsperson that can draw plans to fit your specific needs. We will complete a set of drawings for you and your design consultant will go over every detail to ensure that you are getting the custom built home of your dreams.

STEP 5. We Assist with Financing

We will help you work with a lender to obtain financing that best suits your situation. We are able to structure the new home construction process, so that you only have one settlement. We are able to work with construction loans and end loans both. We have the experience to make this an easy part of the custom home building process.

STEP 6. We Obtain All Permits

Applying for permits, no problem. We will take care of it. Oliver Homes makes the home building process with us as easy as possible. Our experienced staff are up to date on all current codes and building regulations for your brand new home. We have past experience in all local municipalities.

7. Frame Orientation / Pre-Drywall Orientation

Before drywall installation, we will meet you at your new home to discuss details about the electrical, plumbing, heat and air conditioning, framing, exterior and many other items. This meeting takes one to two hours. It is a great time to see your brand new home before everything is covered with drywall.

STEP 8. We Oversee Construction Process

We perform quality control inspections as well as local building code inspections, plus we encourage you to visit your new home while we are building to insure the quality that we guarantee. We have systems in place for you to ask questions during the entire home building process.

STEP 9. New Home Orientation

Before you move in to your brand new home we will meet with you to go through your new home room by room to discuss the warranties, features and benefits. This is our opportunity to show you what a great custom home you have purchased and learn how everything operates.


One of the many reasons Oliver Homes has been successful for over 75 years has been our ability to offer services to our clients that we feel most other builders do not offer. One of these helpful programs allows you to build a new home on your own lot or a property not in a developed community.

We see custom building as a chance for you to build the home of your dreams. Start from scratch or let our designers customize one of the many affordable and appealing floor plans from our custom portfolio. Move walls, create exciting spaces, redesign the kitchens, or do just about anything else you can think of. Make your home what you always dreamed it should be.
