Ready to see how we turn dreams into addresses? Let’s explore the journey.

Creating your custom home begins with a free lot evaluation: we assess grading, soils, utilities, and orientation to optimize design and budget. From there, your dedicated Project Manager guides you through:

1. Plan Selection & Budgeting
   • Choose from 15+ proven floor plans (2,500–4,200 sq ft) or tweak a design with our architects.
   • Lock in transparent pricing—including standard selections—and explore upgrade allowances.
2. Design Studio Collaboration
   • Meet our in-house designers to select finishes, fixtures, and smart-home packages.
   • Incorporate trending features: open-concept living, covered patios, multi-gen suites, and energy-saving technologies.
3. Permits & Pre-Construction
   • Preston Trail Homes secures all building permits (municipal and trade) and schedules inspections.
   • Site prep, foundation, and framing begin once plans are approved—no surprises.
4. Construction & Oversight
   • Regular progress updates with photo milestones and budget reviews.
   • Quality assurance inspections at key phases ensure code compliance and lasting craftsmanship.
5. Final Walkthrough & Warranty
   • Punch-list items addressed; walk through every feature with your Project Manager.
   • Enjoy our industry-leading warranty and access to Texas Mortgage Associates for ongoing financing support.

• Site Conditions: North Texas’ clay‐rich soils require proper grading and foundation design—our lot evaluation flags any special requirements.
• Budgeting for Upgrades: Prioritize energy-efficient HVAC, high-performance insulation, and smart-home systems to reduce long-term utility costs.
• Community Requirements: Verify any deed restrictions or HOA guidelines in Prosper, Sherman, or Van Alstyne before finalizing plans.
• Timeline Planning: Custom builds typically span 8–12 months; selecting quick-move-in spec homes can shorten your wait time by up to 6 months.
