Every property is unique, and your home should be designed to make the most of it. At M&H Construction & Design, we take the time to understand your land, your vision, and how you want to live. Our approach brings together thoughtful home design and practical site planning to create a home that fits naturally into its surroundings while making the most of your property's potential.
Discuss Your Property
Owning land represents the initial step in building a home that aligns with your property and your lifestyle preferences. M&H Construction & Design evaluates available property information, assists in developing plans for the lot, prepares a preliminary estimate, and oversees construction. This comprehensive approach ensures that each project is tailored to the unique characteristics of the land and the homeowner’s vision.
M&H uses the survey as the foundation for a site plan illustrating the proposed home and pertinent site features. Depending on the project, the plan may encompass setbacks, driveway, utilities, drainage, and landscaping. Elevations or renderings can help you visualize the proposed home in relation to the property, providing a clearer picture of the final outcome.
You can choose an M&H home model for your lot or provide plans of your own. M&H models can be customized, including changes to exterior materials, window sizes, and the home’s layout. If you have a different vision, M&H can also develop a custom home design from the ground up.
Before preparing drawings, M&H reviews the community’s architectural guidelines and plans the submission accordingly. If the ARB requests changes or provides additional comments, our team works through them, coordinates any needed revisions, and discusses significant design changes with you before moving forward. Approval requirements and review timelines vary by property and jurisdiction.
Share the property address, your goals, approximate budget, preferred timing, and any documents you already have. A survey or house plans are helpful, but they are not required to begin the conversation
M&H reviews available property information, including the survey, boundaries, setbacks, access, utilities, drainage, lot orientation, and flood information. If a survey is not available, M&H can arrange one. This thorough review ensures that all critical factors are considered before moving forward.
M&H develops initial drawings based on your goals and the property. The plans are then submitted for architectural and structural review, with additional drawings prepared as needed. This iterative process ensures that the final design aligns with both your vision and practical requirements.
M&H prepares a preliminary estimate based on the work shown in the drawings. The final construction price is established after architectural and structural review. This step provides clarity and sets expectations for the project’s financial aspects.
M&H helps you make material and finish selections before they are needed at each construction stage. Applicable ARB reviews and building permits are addressed before construction begins. This proactive approach minimizes delays and ensures a smooth construction process.
M&H manages the construction process, coordinates materials and suppliers, and keeps you informed every step of the way. You’ll receive weekly photo updates showing completed work, current progress, and upcoming activities. We also maintain an updated project schedule in your shared client folder, so you always know what to expect.
At the final walkthrough, M&H and the client go through the home together and prepare a punch list of items needing follow-up. This collaborative review ensures that all final details are addressed to the client’s satisfaction.
M&H home models can be built on your lot and customized to suit your preferences and property. This option provides a starting point for those seeking inspiration or a more streamlined design process.
