Design and Build process

Building your Austin custom home can be a complicated process, but we believe the design and construction process is easy if a builder simply listens to what the client wants. While every home we build is different, there are a few simple steps that we always follow tonsure that your new custom home is truly yours.

Site Selection: If have not already selected your site, we have a selection of lots for sale in some of the most sought-after Austin neighborhoods. Or you can work with one of our preferred realtors to search for listings in your specific area of interest.

Floor Plan: How you choose your floor plan is up to you--you can have an architect to design a plan from scratch or, for a quicker and

more cost-effective method, you can choose or alter one of our existing plans.

Cost Projection: Once a site and floor plan is selected, we can estimate a completed project cost. Our process allows you the most control over the budget. First, we estimate the “sticks and bricks” or structure cost of the home, then add your custom features like counter tops, flooring, and light fixtures to project the final cost of your home.

Financing: With your site, floor plan, and projected cost settled, Harrington Custom Homes can help arrange the financing for your new home. While we do not finance projects personally, we work closely with a select group of highly respected area lenders.

Building Contract: Before construction begins, the homeowner and homebuilder must create an agreement, specifying the dimensions and features of your home, site plan, materials, draw schedule, and completion date. Our knowledgeable sales and construction professionals will work with you carefully throughout each step of this process.

Construction: Once construction begins, you are welcome to visit the site as much as you like to bring friends or relatives and take photos, but we do ask that questions, comments and change requests go through the office and not directly to site personnel. We are available at any time throughout the construction process via phone and email.

Warranty: Every Harrington Custom Home is guaranteed, door-to-door for a full year, and the home’s structure carries a warranty for a full ten years. In some cases additional warranties may also apply.

With just the right combination of custom home features, original design, and traditional quality craftsmanship, a Harrington home is the home you’ve worked for--it’s the home you deserve.
