Key FeaturesSite Specific
No two lots are the same: site slope, grade, shape & existing soil condition can drastically change the foundation & orientation of our plans. Regional concerns (earthquakes, tornadoes, hurricanes, floods?) as well as HOA restrictions, coupled with local munincipal departments can have numerous building codes that can change the output of what we produce - initially.
Upon checkout you will have the option of having our team assist with making the outputs both site & regionally specific. Whether sizing & integrating mechanical systems such as heating, venting & air conditioning - to getting the design stamped by a licensed structural engineer.

Key FeaturesBid Leveling
It is surprisingly difficult, as an owner, owner-builder, or small developer - to build an entire team around your new construction project. While there exists services for sourcing a single trade or service, the existing platforms are built for retrofit or remodel markets, and peicemealing a project team together through one of these sites creates impartial relationships and increased cost for both labor and material.
Customhome.ai in conjuction with BIMQuote.com, integrate a labor marketplace focused on new construction. You can clearly define your project needs, organize competing material and labor estimates, as well as select amongst high quality, proven and vetted service providers in your local community.

Key FeaturesProcurement
Selecting, purchasing, and ensuring on time delivery of the products and surfaces in your home, is probably the most difficult aspect of designing and constructing a home of custom spaces! While our capabilities make it easier to visualize the differences between 'this and that,' actually procuring products through the BIMQuote.com network, ensures your home is given access to purchasing power bigger than your project.
By keeping material providers attune to the the construction project schedule as part of the project team, we are able to keep healthy communication and ensure products and lead times are ordered and delivered on time.

Key FeaturesProject Management
Majority of participants, comprised of owners, designers, and builders beleive that BIM & IPD outperform other forms of project delivery. A building is complex combination of systems developed by numerous parties over time and the early simultaneous integration of these systems into a BIM model, aides all members of the project team.
When systems are visualized, you can clearly see how they interact, allowing the project team to clearly identify gaps, potential clashes, and needs - before they become reality, while working together to seek opportunities for innovation, savings, and schedule compression.
