A weekend-long online course designed to help you navigate the custom home-building process with confidence.
Created and Led by Principal Architect, Sheri Scott
Does this sound like you?
“The entire custom-home-building process scares me.”
“I’m afraid of spending too much money.”
“What if I’m unhappy with the result?”
“I’m nervous I’ll mess something up and it’ll be too late.”
“What if I hire the wrong architects or contractors?”
“I don’t even know where to start.”
Starting your custom home process too fast will result in failure
Maybe you’ve collected all of the pretty inspirational pictures and you’re eager to begin the process ASAP.
Maybe you’re overwhelmed by decision-fatigue and just want to get it over with.
Maybe you’re a go-getter and think the best way to start something scary is to dive right in, without even thinking.
Maybe there’s an architect or contractor trying to get you to sign today.
Trust me, I get it: The custom-home-building process can be overwhelming, complicated, and all-consuming.
But the worst thing you can do before building your custom home is to start too fast.
The secret to a successful custom home is starting strong
The fear and anxiety behind building a custom home can lead to irrational thinking: The quicker you start, the sooner it’ll end, right?
Not so fast.
Remember, you only have one chance to make this right.
As a residential architect for over 25 years, it breaks my heart when someone reaches out because they began their project too soon, and now they’re in too deep to fix it. They either spent too much money, wasted their time with a false start, trusted the wrong people, or are completely dissatisfied with the results.
You don't have to end up in that situation. There’s a better process. You just need to know how to start strong.
This online course is a one-of-a-kind experience that teaches you everything there is to know about custom homes—before getting started.
Together, we’ll determine your real long-term goals and internal motivators that drive your steps to build a house. Plus, you’ll learn how to set priorities early, establish a budget (and stick to it!), find the perfect location, and choose your team of professionals. By the end of this course, you’ll feel confident, organized, and equipped with everything you need to turn your vision into a reality.
This could be you…
“You actually covered more than what I was anticipating and really got me thinking beyond what I was before. It opened my eyes to think about issues that I didn’t know existed or had zero knowledge about.”
“We really had no foundation for effectively planning what it would even look like and how it would work to build a custom home. This is something I would highly recommend for anybody who has even thought about building a custom home, whether you think you’re ready or not.”
“I know more of what to expect throughout the process. I know what professionals need to be included. Once we get into the process, I believe the templates, outlines, etc. that you provided will be very useful.”
“I loved your materials! I felt the topics of discussion really helped you think of what is truly important for a new home. Budgeting was really mind opening—as well as clarifying my ‘why.’”
By the end of this course, you’ll walk away with…
Tools to work through your entire project from start to finish.
Confidence in knowing who you can trust, and who you can’t.
Clearly defined boundaries to protect your time and budget.
Resources to help you find the perfect location.
Everything you need to turn your vision into a reality.
Peace of mind that you can and will do this the right way.
