This is your new home and we believe you should understand what's happening, why, and what decisions are coming next. We’re experts at construction project management, making sure you stay informed while always moving the process forward.

Plus, our small network of local, trusted tradesmen have been building with us since 2016, which means everyone involved knows what quality looks like on a Scribe build. That consistency shows up in how your home feels when you move in, and how it holds up twenty years later.

The Process for Your New Home Building Service

Making sure you love it for the long-haul

Once complete, we’ll walk the space together to make sure everything meets expectations. Once you’ve had time to fully settle in, we’ll follow up a few months later to make sure it’s exactly as you imagined!

Final Walkthrough & Follow-Up

Construction is underway

We communicate regularly so you always know what’s happening and why. Projects are managed on a cost-plus basis, with transparent tracking of materials, subcontractors, and labor — allowing flexibility when real-life changes inevitably pop up.

Hammer Down

Final Selections and Cost-Plus Construction Agreement

Once preliminary estimate is approved & deposit is paid

It’s time for pre-construction planning. Final design selections are made, showroom visits are coordinated if needed, any numbers are fine-tuned, and final job-site logistics are locked in – so construction kicks off with a smooth start!

Preliminary Estimate Development & Delivery

Typically deliver in 3-4 weeks of the walkthrough

Rather than quick ballpark pricing, we take a deeper dive to develop accurate pricing early on. That means reviewing scope in detail, assessing trades when needed, and talking through early design and finish choices that impact cost the most.

Setting clear expectations up front.

After the walkthrough, we’ll outline a preconstruction agreement and fee based on your project’s scope and complexity. This covers the time and expertise that go into thoughtful planning and estimate development (and it’s applied to your project if you move forward with us).

Pre-Construction Agreement 

We see the space, you meet the team.

We’ll walk the space together to review existing conditions, logistics, and possibilities. This is where early ideas start taking shape and you get a feel for how we think, plan, and approach projects.

Walkthrough & Project Vision

Let’s make sure we’re a good fit.

You’ll start by filling out our inquiry form and scheduling a call to chat. We’ll talk through your goals, timeline, priorities, and answer early questions. If it feels right on both sides, we’ll schedule an on-site walkthrough.

How long does it take to build a custom home in New Hampshire?

From planning to move in ready can be anywhere from 12-24 months, depending on when we start planning and when we can actually break ground. The size of the project and scope also impact the length of the build as well. We’ll be able to discuss timelines with you as we begin planning your project.

Do you handle permits and inspections?

Sure thing! You don’t need to worry. We handle all permits, inspections, and code compliance. We'll submit the plans to the city or town, pull the permits, schedule inspections as we reach each milestone, and address any questions from building officials. It's all part of our full-service approach to make sure your project stays on track and meets all requirements.

What if we don't have plans or an architect yet?

No worries, we can set you up to get that done too!

Do we need to have land before contacting you?

Not necessarily….we can consult with you on choosing a lot and helping identify any potential hurdles or possibilities early on.

Frequently Asked Questions

Whether you know exactly what you want or you're still figuring it out, let's start with a conversation. We'll walk you through what's possible and what it looks like to do it together.
