Our Process
Our Process
The idea of building a home can seem formidable and intimidating but with the Vertical Builders Process, we can eliminate a lot of this anxiety through our open communication and organized approach.
The result is a satisfied client that is rewarded by having a quality-built home that they will enjoy and create fond memories in for many years to come.
Many steps and stages are required to be completed before the home can even begin construction. Our goal is to educate our clients about the pre-construction process along with the actual building of the home. We try to be as transparent as possible in order to avoid surprises.
