Shows Construction is a custom home building company in the truest sense of the phrase. In other words, if your heart desires it, we can bring it to life for you. Luke Shows, the builder, oversees every aspect of your home's construction! As a client of Shows Construction, you will work directly with the owner and builder. Luke and his staff are committed to building the best homes, and relationships, possible.

We encourage prospective clients to contact us before they even begin the home design or plan search process. We can help you make sense out of what can be a confusing process. We strive to make the custom homebuilding experience enjoyable and rewarding. Below is a list of the steps describing how the custom home building process generally flows:

1. We meet with the client to discuss their needs and desires in a new home. They often bring us examples of designs or features they want in their new home. We generally talk about the cost of different styles of homes and give them guidelines to help them stay within their budget. We invite them to look at the homes we are building. We provide the client with information regarding who we recommend to design their home (unless they already have their home plan).

2. The client meets with the designer or architect to discuss what they want in their new home. The designer provides the homeowner with a preliminary set of plans to review for changes. We recommend that clients set up a meeting for us to review their preliminary home design as we can often find ways to reduce the cost or increase their satisfaction with the design.

3. When the designer completes the plan we meet with the client to find out what type of products and finishes they want in their new home. We also visit the owner’s property to inspect the site conditions. Based on this information, we go to work on the cost estimate for the home's construction.

4. We present our proposal to the client and discuss any changes they may want to make before signing a contract. If selected to build the home, we make any necessary adjustments to the specifications before signing the contract documents.

5. If a lending institution is to be used, they receive a copy of the plans and contract documents. Based on this information they conduct an appraisal and prepare to close on the construction loan.

6. We begin construction on the new home. We like to meet with the clients at the jobsite on a regular basis. We use these meetings to review the progress on the home, note any changes that the clients may want to make and to solve any concerns the clients may have.

7. The clients are an integral part of the building team and will have plenty of shopping to do in order to select the items they want in their new home. We have a tried and true system to keep them updated on when we will need each selected item to keep the process moving as smoothly as possible.
8. As the new home nears completion we conduct a walk-through with the clients and make a punchlist of items that need to be completed or corrected before the clients move into the home.

9. Once all punchlist items are completed and the construction loan process is closed, the clients move into their new home.

10. Shows Construction offers a one-year workmanship warranty of the new home. We stay in contact with the homeowner periodically during their first year in the home to see if we need to correct anything.
