The Harvey
Custom Journey

Step 1:

Your Vision Consultation The journey begins with a deep dive into your lifestyle. We’ll meet with you (and your agent) to discuss your “must-haves,” desired location, and budget. Unlike other builders, we aren’t limited by set floor plans; we start with your land and your imagination.

Step 2:
The Personalized Proposal We translate our initial conversation into a tailored package. This includes a conceptual site plan, a preliminary architectural outline, and transparent pricing. This step is about flexibility—ensuring the foundation of the project aligns perfectly with your goals.
Step 3:
Partnership Agreement Once you are confident in the plan and location, we finalize the purchase agreement. This formalizes our partnership and allows us to move into the detailed design phase where your home begins to take its unique shape.
Step 4:
Design & Selections Gallery This is where your home’s personality emerges. Our team guides you through the selection of high-end finishes—from custom cabinetry and flooring to the latest in smart-home technology and exterior architectural details.
Step 5:
Final Blueprint & Site Review Before the first shovel hits the dirt, we conduct a meticulous final review. We’ll walk the land with you to confirm house placement, review the final blueprints, and align on the construction schedule to ensure total precision.
Step 6:
Engineering & Excavation We bring in our expert project managers, excavators, and engineers to finalize site preparation. We handle the complexities of city codes and land boundaries so that construction begins on a perfect foundation.
Step 7:
On-Site Construction Walk-Throughs Transparency is our hallmark. At key milestones—such as the electrical and framing stages—we host on-site walk-throughs. This ensures every outlet, light fixture, and wall is exactly where you envisioned it.
Step 8:
Orientation & Quality Assurance As your home nears 100% completion, we perform a detailed orientation. We’ll show you how your home’s systems work, address any final touch-ups, and ensure every inch meets our rigorous standards of artistry.
Step 9:
Closing & Handover The final paperwork is handled with the same care as the construction. We’ll meet to finalize the loan transactions and officially hand over the keys to your new Sioux Falls estate.
Step 10:
Welcome Home & Beyond Our relationship doesn’t end when you move in. Harvey Custom Homes remains your partner, standing behind our warranties and providing ongoing support as you settle into a home built to last a lifetime.
