The Home Building
Process
Building a custom home doesn't have to be overwhelming. Here's exactly what to expect when you work with Big Twig Homes, from the first conversation to the day you get your keys.
From Dream to Done
Every home we deliver follows this proven process. We keep you informed and involved at every stage.
Initial Consultation
We begin with a detailed conversation about your vision, budget, timeline, and building site. Whether you have blueprints in hand or just a dream in your head, this is where it all starts.
Design & Planning
Our design team creates or refines your floor plan, selects materials, and produces detailed specifications. Eligible log home packages receive free design and custom planning services; custom design for SIP panel and timber frame homes is billable to the customer.
Package Selection
Choose from our curated home packages or finalize your custom specification. Each package includes materials, hardware, and engineering documentation, everything your builder needs to start.
Site Preparation
With plans approved and the package ordered, your builder prepares the site, including foundation work, utility connections, and grading. Big Twig Homes handles the material package, design, and logistics so the project is ready for construction.
Construction
Expert builders bring your home to life. Whether it’s cedar logs rising into place or SIP panels going up in days, this is where your dream becomes a reality. We stay involved throughout.
Final Walkthrough
We conduct a thorough quality inspection with you and your builder, addressing every detail. Once you’re completely satisfied, it’s time to get the keys and start making memories in your new home.
How Long Does It Take?
Every project is different, but here are the typical timeframes you can expect when building with Big Twig Homes.
Package Delivery
From the time your order is placed, your home package will be manufactured and delivered to your building site within 5 to 8 weeks. This includes all structural components, hardware, and documentation.
Shell Construction
SIP panel shells can be erected in as little as one week. Log and timber frame shells typically take 2–4 weeks depending on the complexity of the design and crew size.
Interior Finish
Interior framing, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, insulation, drywall, trim, and finishes. This phase varies based on the size of the home and the level of customization.
Total Timeline
Most Big Twig Homes projects are completed within 6 to 12 months from groundbreaking to move-in. Simple designs on prepared lots can be completed even faster.
Timeline variables: Weather, permitting, contractor availability, and customization level all affect the final timeline. We provide a detailed schedule before construction begins so you always know what to expect.
