Our Process

A Better Way to Build a Custom Home

At DelBiondo Homes, our process is built around one principle:

Exceptional homes are the result of exceptional communication.

From the first conversation to the final walkthrough, we focus on clarity, alignment, and craftsmanship. Our approach eliminates surprises, reduces stress, and creates a building experience worthy of the home you're investing in.

01. Discovery & Alignment

Understanding your vision, priorities, and expectations.

We begin by learning who you are, how you live, and what a successful project looks like to you.

This stage includes:

- A deep-dive consultation about goals, aesthetics, and lifestyle

- Budget realities and investment ranges

- Discussion of timelines, site conditions, and feasibility

- Evaluation of your architect, or pairing you with the right design team

- Aligning communication preferences and decision-making structure

Our goal is simple: make sure we’re the right fit and establish shared expectations before design begins.

02. Preconstruction

Where great projects are won or lost

Preconstruction is the heart of our process- and the part most builders rush. We don't. This is where we set the project up for success through meticulous planning, cost modeling, and expectation management.

Our preconstruction phase includes:

- Collaborative design development with your architect

- Detailed scope definition and material selections

- Structural, mechanical, and building-science coordination

- Energy-efficiency planning and envelope strategy

- Early trade partner involvement

- Value engineering with clarity (not compromise)

- A transparent, line-item cost estimate

- Schedule development and milestone mapping

By the end of preconstruction, you’ll know exactly what’s being built, why it’s being built that way, what it costs, and how long it will take.

03. Contract & Mobilization

Putting the plan into motion

Once the preconstruction plan is finalized, we formalize scope, pricing, allowances, and timelines.

This stage includes:

- Finalizing the construction contract

- Securing permits and approvals

- Confirming trade partner availability

- Ordering long-lead materials

- Setting up your BuilderTrend portal for communication and documentation

04. Construction

Execution with precision, communication, and accountability

This is where the planning pays off. Our project managers and field teams follow a structured, airtight process:

- Daily site oversight

- Weekly progress reporting

- Milestone inspections and QA/QC checklists

- Proactive schedule management

- Transparent budget tracking

- Strategic communication—informative, not overwhelming

We keep you updated with what matters, when it matters—not every twist and turn of the sausage-making.

05. Completion & Handover

A home delivered with confidence.

Before move-in, we implement a comprehensive closeout process:

- Full home orientation and systems walkthrough

- Final QA inspection

- Punch-list completion

- Warranty documentation and digital manuals

- Energy performance and maintenance guidance

06. Warranty & Long-Term Stewardship

Your home is built to last—our support is too. We stand behind our work with a structured warranty program and ongoing relationship.

Clients rely on us long after move-in for:

- Warranty support

- Seasonal maintenance recommendations

- Building-science guidance

- Future enhancements or additions

Why Our Process Works

Because custom homes succeed or fail based on communication—not concrete and lumber.

Our process is intentionally designed to:

- Set expectations before they become problems

- Reduce stress through clarity

- Protect your budget with real information

- Ensure quality through planning and oversight

- Give you confidence in every decision

- Deliver a home that performs as beautifully as it looks
