The Process
At Arieli Custom Homes, we prioritize transparency, quality craftsmanship, and a personalized approach to building and designing your dream home. Here’s how our process works:
Initial Consultation and Planning
Every project begins with an in-depth consultation to discuss your vision, goals, and budget. During this meeting, we’ll walk you through our process and explore how we can bring your ideas to life. Whether you’re starting from scratch or have specific plans in mind, we’ll work with you to ensure your custom home aligns with your lifestyle and preferences.
For those with an existing structure, we can assist with demolition planning and ensure the site is prepared for your custom build.

Design and Pre-Construction Services
Our design process includes working closely with you, the architect, and our in-house design team to ensure your home reflects your vision. We emphasize:
Interior Layouts and Details: From cabinetry and closets to millwork and finishes, we work to align every detail with your preferences.
Specification Document: A comprehensive guide that outlines every detail of your home, from cabinetry and flooring to lighting and plumbing fixtures. This document serves as a roadmap for smooth execution, eliminating guesswork and helping to keep your project on track.
By planning these details early, you save time, minimize costly changes, and ensure every element reflects your style and preferences. Learn more about how this approach can save you time and money by checking out our blog post.
Future-Proof Design: We can prewire for features like pools or elevators and plan for adaptable spaces that grow with your needs.
Our pre-construction services include coordinating with engineers and the city for permits and approvals, ensuring compliance with local regulations. This stage typically takes about three months.
Transparent Budgeting and Flexible Approach
We understand that every project is unique, with many variables influencing the overall cost. That’s why we work on a “cost plus” basis, offering transparency and flexibility throughout the process. This approach ensures you have control over every detail and can make informed decisions at each stage of the project.
Construction and Updates
Once permits are secured, construction begins. Our clients have the option to choose their level of involvement—whether staying closely involved or opting for regular updates. Construction timelines typically range from 8–13 months, depending on project complexity.
Throughout the process, we prioritize high-end finishes and features. Whether it’s a spa-inspired bathroom, a custom iron front door, or selecting paint and grout colors, we’ll guide you through every decision—or handle it for you if you prefer a hands-off approach.
