How We Build

Engineered precision, from concept to keys

A deliberate, five-phase process designed to protect your timeline, your budget, and the home itself — for generations.

Disciplined phases. Written approvals. Signed milestones.

Most custom-home horror stories start the same way: a vague scope, a soft budget, and a handshake. We do it differently. Every Faltz home moves through five disciplined phases, each with a principal signature before we advance.

Architectural elevation drawing — design phase
Phase 01

Design & Architecture

We start with the land and the life you want to live on it. Working with our in-house design team and your preferred architect, we translate vision into a buildable set of plans — before a single shovel hits the ground.

  • Site analysis & feasibility study
  • Conceptual design & 3D renderings
  • Permit-ready construction drawings
  • Specification book & finish schedule
8 – 16 weeks
02
Architectural rendering and smart-home planning
Phase 02

Engineering & Pre-Construction

Before we break ground, every system is engineered and every cost is locked. Structural steel loads, ICF foundation design, mechanical runs, and smart-home wiring are resolved on paper so the field team executes — not improvises.

  • Structural & MEP engineering
  • Line-item budget with hard allowances
  • Build schedule with milestone dependencies
  • Smart-home & AV planning
4 – 8 weeks
03
Construction phase — framing and envelope
Phase 03

Construction

Ground breaks, and a principal walks the site weekly. ICF foundations pour, structural steel rises, and Zip System envelopes seal. Every trade signs off on their scope before the next one enters — no handoffs without accountability.

  • Excavation, ICF foundation, structural frame
  • Weather-sealed envelope & roofing
  • Rough-in MEP with third-party inspection
  • Weekly client walkthroughs & photo updates
8 – 14 months
04
Interior finish work — millwork and appliances
Phase 04

Finish & Installation

The home becomes yours. Custom millwork, specified appliances, lighting, and smart-home integration are installed and commissioned. Every detail is inspected against the spec book before we accept it.

  • Custom millwork & cabinetry installation
  • Appliance, fixture, and hardware install
  • Paint, flooring, and final finishes
  • Smart-home programming & commissioning
6 – 10 weeks
05

Phase 05

Handoff & Warranty

The keys change hands, but the relationship doesn't end. We provide a complete home manual, a walkthrough of every system, and enrollment in the RWC 10-Year New Home Warranty — 1-year workmanship, 2-year systems, 10-year structural — backed by a third-party insured program operating since 1990. Your single point of contact stays the same principal who signed off on your build.

  • Pre-closing punch list & client sign-off
  • Homeowner manual & system documentation
  • Full walkthrough of mechanicals & smart home
  • RWC 10-Year New Home Warranty — 1yr workmanship / 2yr systems / 10yr structural · See your warranty book for full terms

“A principal signs off on every phase, every punch list, every handoff.If something isn't right, there's no layer of subs to hide behind. It's on us.”
