"I'm so unsure of HOW an actual home gets built... timelines, who does what, the design & construction process of it all, and I'm a bit embarassed to ask at this stage. I WANT to take on full-scale build projects but not feeling confident about how everything runs from start to finish makes me nervous!"
Do you wonder how the design & construction of a new home build flows... who does what, and when? Does not confidently knowing how a home is built make you anxious or has kept you from taking on full-scale projects? You know you should know... but feel there are so many gaps in the process to fill.
Picture this: you've met with the clients, they've accepted your design fee proposal, and they want to move forward... But now you're panicking because you're still not 100% sure how a new build project runs, how things are scheduled, and where you even fit into the picture.
NOT to worry - In this short guide I'll take you through exactly each step a builder and their trades takes to organize a new home build from start to finish. In this super easy to follow resource, we establish:
- Average build timelines & key construction phases
- Who prepares plans for permit packages
- What other trades/sub-trades are involved, and when
- When the designer is typically brought into a project
- When we meet with builder & clients to review the build budget & key deliverables/timelines
- How we run our own complete design phase within a new build project
- When to collect payments on design fees
- How we present drawings, materials & finishes
- How we work best with clients to select materials & finishes
- What we use to compile all of our specifications/selections into one document
- Furnishings - rundown of how we curate, order, supply, and install
- What key site visits to attend with builder/trades, and when
- A chronological order of all construction events while the design phase is underway simultaneously
- Dealing with deficiencies before final occupancy
- Handing over the project at completion on a high note
Never be caught off guard again when talking to clients or builders about a full-scale project.
And instantly boost your confidence when it comes to understanding the inner workings of every new build!

As a designer who has recently gone off on my own, and who typically works on renovations opposed to new builds, I was overjoyed when I found this process of a new build. I recently had an inquiry for a new build project and was nervous that I wasn’t “in the know” when it came to the process. This has given me the confidence to take on this client now that I have the knowledge that Crispin provided in this document.
This guide has filled so many gaps in my understanding of construction phases and steps required to do a full scale project. Thank you :)
I learned SO MUCH...very helpful!
This guide was a game-changer for building my confidence in explaining the construction process. It’s an invaluable resource for anyone looking to strengthen their knowledge and elevate their business. Highly recommend!
I have a much better understanding how a new home is planned/designed/built - the guide tells it like it is and who does what.
