Design/Build Journey Part 2: Design Selection

Part 2 of our article series, “The Design/Build Process.” Click here to read Part 1: Space Planning.

Building a custom home is all about translating your dreams and visions into reality. Creating a place that mirrors your personality and caters to your lifestyle. The most significant step in this journey is the Design Selection phase – where your imagination comes to life. 

Design Selection is all about choice. It's the stage where our experienced design team meets with you to understand your vision and then collaborate to transform your wishlist into a feasible design.

Here’s How Our Design Selection Process Works

We Learn your Design Style

We start by understanding your design goals. What you like. What you don’t. What inspires you. Then we provide a mood board to communicate the design direction for your project. This lets you decide on your space's overall look and feel–before having to worry about specific items or products.

We Research and Recommend Top Rated Products & Materials

Our design team has years of experience with various vendors, products, and industry trends. We use this knowledge to help shape your dream space, introducing options that match your unique style.

From the kitchen layout to lighting fixtures and cabinet hardware, we guide you through all potential selections and make recommendations based on their quality, functionality, and cost. 

You Make the Final Decisions

All the products we’ve selected are loaded in our online project management software so you can easily review and compare. But while we provide the resources and expert opinion, ultimately, the choice is yours. 

Every client–and custom home–is unique. That's why every decision will always be in your hands, ensuring that your home truly reflects your individual taste and style.

What makes Barnes Custom Builders different? 

What sets our design/build process apart is our consideration of your budget.

We understand that budget should not hinder your dream. That's why, during our design process, we provide allowances for each area of your project.

This allows you to adjust your budget based on the areas you want to splurge on, giving you the power to design a home that aligns perfectly with your lifestyle and financial realities.

Want high-end appliances in your kitchen while opting for cost-effective solutions in your guest bedroom? No problem. With us, you have the flexibility on where to spend and where to save.

Build with Barnes Custom Builders, and craft your dream home with a design selection process that empowers you, respects your budget, and celebrates your individual style.
