Building a custom home is an exciting journey, and Showcase Homes by Charlie Stanley is here to make it a rewarding one. We’ve developed a clear, step-by-step process that guides you from initial design concepts to move-in day, keeping you informed and confident every step of the way.
But First – prep Work
Pre-Construction Process
Design Your Home
We’ll begin by exploring your lifestyle, goals, and vision. Whether you bring us existing plans or start from a blank sheet of paper, our team works with you to develop floor plans and layouts that reflect how you truly live. Together, we’ll refine room sizes, flow, and architectural details to create a design that feels like home.
Budget Estimate
Once your home is drawn to scale, with floor plans and exterior elevations, we’ll prepare a preliminary budget estimate. This early snapshot helps you make informed decisions before finalizing plans. With your approval, we’ll provide a complete construction estimate for your contract.
Allowances
Some items—like cabinetry, countertops, lighting, and flooring—are budgeted as “allowances” in your estimate. This gives you flexibility to choose the finishes that match your style. Once selections are made, we’ll reconcile those allowances so you have a clear picture of final costs.
Construction Contract
Your contract includes all the details: finalized plans, specifications, and construction estimates. This agreement ensures we’re aligned on every detail before we break ground.
Selections
We’ll schedule appointments with our trusted network of vendors in Aiken and Augusta, making the selection process enjoyable and efficient. From fixtures to finishes, we’ll coordinate each choice so your home feels uniquely yours.
Architectural Review
We’ll handle all necessary approvals with the community’s Architectural Review Board (ARB) and secure building permits—including septic permits when building in Anderson Farms—so your project is ready to move forward.
Construction Process
Breaking Ground
With approvals in place, construction begins. Our team manages the entire process, coordinating craftsmen, vendors, and timelines to keep everything on track.
Foundation & Framing
We start with a solid foundation, then bring your design to life with framing. You’ll begin to see your floor plan take shape, room by room.
Systems & Structure
Electrical, plumbing, HVAC, and insulation are installed with precision to ensure comfort, safety, and efficiency in your new home.
Interior & Exterior Finishes
Drywall, trim, cabinetry, flooring, paint, and fixtures bring personality and polish to your home. Meanwhile, exterior details like siding, roofing, and landscaping complete the look.
Quality Checks
Throughout the build, we’ll schedule walkthroughs so you can see progress firsthand. Our team performs rigorous quality checks at every stage to ensure craftsmanship meets Showcase standards.
Final Walkthrough
When your home is complete, we’ll walk through together to ensure every detail is just right. Once approved, it’s time to move in and start enjoying your Showcase home.
