FIVE SIMPLE STEPS

From Our First Meeting to the Time We Hand Over the Keys, We Want Your Experience to be Exceptional

At Cockrum Custom Homes, we are committed to making the design/build process as smooth as possible. With more than 25 years in the industry, we have streamlined a flexible system to ensure we deliver on your every wish.



1 – First, We Listen

To build a home that works for you, we need to know your vision. What have you always wanted in a home? Your concepts, tastes and comforts will serve as our beacon.

We invite you to observe your family’s daily routine.


  • Do you eat breakfast on the go or around the table?
  • Is relaxation about a wide-screen TV, a piano, a game room or a chaise lounge by the pool?
  • Do you take long showers or prefer to soak in a jetted tub?
  • Does the cook in the family envision both an indoor and outdoor kitchen?
  • Do you require space for fitness equipment or a garage for your golf cart?
  • Do you have kids? Like to entertain? Require a home office?

Your floor plan will arise from this real-life study, resulting in a home that fits your unique lifestyle.



2 – We Draw the Plans

You’ll talk with our team or show them plans you have already commissioned. We’ll meet, talk, review and revise. We want to be sure your home makes the best use of the site and maximizes views of the surrounding terrain – all while delivering an inviting floor plan to suit your particular lifestyle. Very soon, you’ll have your initial plan, which we’ll work on together to mold and refine until you’re thrilled.

3 – You Select the Details

You’ll sit down with experts from our in-house design department to select all the details: flooring, tiles, colors and finishes that match your sense of home. Every selection is itemized and shared with our design/build team so there is never any question or confusion to impact the budget or timeline for your project.

If you have an existing relationship with another designer, we’re happy to assist and coordinate with your trusted advisor. To spare you the hold-ups and costs so common in custom builds, we make sure that every detail is accounted for, and every decision made, before the first stone is set.



4 – We Execute the Plan

By this stage in the process, a clear plan is in place. All details are accounted for, and you are free to sit back and relax as your home takes shape. Of course, we’ll keep you in the loop at every stage and arrange a few well-timed walkthroughs to show progress and answer any questions. You can visit the building site as often as you like, or delegate the whole process to us with total peace of mind.

We anticipate and accommodate for any issues related to the site or natural terrain. We manage all zoning and building codes, orders and deliveries, the permitting process and dozens of skilled craftsman that build your home from the ground up.



5 – Love Your Home for a Lifetime

When your home is ready, you’ll have a formal orientation to ensure you are completely comfortable operating the systems within your home. This is when the true story begins, a story of pleasurable living and pride of ownership. Our entire team shares a passion for client satisfaction – and we mean satisfaction for life. It is our privilege to remain available to you for as long as you own your Cockrum Custom Homes - not only for warranty issues but for help and advice on any topic about your home.
