When you think of a real estate developer, do you know what that means? Do you know what they do, what they’re responsible for, or why they’re important? Most people don’t, so it’s okay if you have absolutely no idea. The simplest way of explaining what a real estate developer does is that they develop a property from scratch. They buy the land, build a home on it, and then sell it for a profit. Pretty simple, right? But what is a custom luxury estate developer?

They build your home from scratch. They oversee every stage of the process while you have a say over every element of your home. They’re in charge of the build itself, but you get to choose your style, architectural features, materials, layout, size, interior finishes, and so much more. They’ll also oversee your budget and pay their contractors, tradesmen, and other team members on your behalf.

The “luxury” piece comes into play when choosing materials and deciding on features. Luxury homes are exponentially fancier and use only high-end materials. Your home will make a statement and be a unique reflection of your lifestyle and personality. What’s not to love?

The Process

Custom luxury estate development is a complex and drawn-out process, but there are static phases to go through that help organize the necessary tasks and jobs that need to be accomplished.

Pre-Development

This stage focuses on research, due diligence, and permitting. The common steps in the pre-development phase include:

• Land acquisition and survey
• Permitting
• Environmental assessments
• Feasibility study
• Arranging financing/setting a budget
• Site plans, building plans, and development plans

These processes usually have a fee attached to them, but that isn’t for you to worry about. Most developers and builders will include these costs in their overall charge to make things simpler for you.

Exterior Design and Architectural Engineering

This is the phase in which homeowners really get involved (after choosing their location, of course). You’ll work with a home designer and architect to draw up designs for the exterior of your home. You’ll decide on:

• Square footage
• Layout
• Number of rooms and stories
• Materials
• Architectural features

Once you’ve made all of these decision with the help of your builder’s team, they will draw up building plans and pass it off to the contractors.

Construction

Once your designs are finalized, construction will begin with grading the land, building a retaining wall if necessary, excavating and setting your foundation, framing, and roughly 20 other specialties to get your home looking like a house. The construction process includes:

Your custom luxury estate developer will oversee these processes and manage the construction schedule for you. You’ll be able to visit your home-in-progress when you want to and watch it all come together. Once your home starts really coming together, you’ll work with an interior designer for the next stage.

Interior Design

Once your home’s construction is finished, it’s time for all of the interior features. Your interior designer will collaborate with you and help you make decisions regarding:

• Appliances
• Countertops
• Paint colours
• Flooring type
• Eco-friendly fixtures and technologies
• Cabinetry
• And so much more

Once the inside of your home is finished, your developer will extend the living space to the outdoors and finish up your landscaping using skilled designers and experienced contractors. You’ll truly make your house a home during this stage and will decide on furniture, window coverings, and everything else in the interior of your new home.

Why Working With a Professional Custom Luxury Estate Developer is Important

It’s no secret that building a home from the ground up is a lot of work and a big investment. It is a huge commitment that will take months to finish and requires extreme attention to detail, careful planning, skilled orchestration, and consideration of building codes, permits, zoning requirements, land and environmental regulations, and a whole lot more. It’s a job in itself to make sure your home is legal and structurally sound. It takes an experienced builder and developer to navigate these treacherous and confusing waters, and there are dozens of reasons why a professional team is the way to go.
