OUR PROCESS

Our design-build approach provides a superior experience for clients supported by honest, frequent and direct communication. With S&R Development, you get a straightforward and stress-free process with no surprises.

We are proud of our impeccable track record with clients who often become close friends due to our commitment to provide a trustworthy, transparent and collaborative experience. We hope to lay a strong foundation for a relationship extending well-beyond completion of your project.

​​​​​​​In addition to building custom luxury homes from the ground up, we also specialize in major remodels and large-scale renovations.

PHASE ONE:

INITIAL DISCUSSIONS

• Discuss your vision, style and size of home, preferred location and budget.
• Outline the overall process, provide an initial timeline and address any questions.​​​​​​​

PHASE TWO:

IDENTIFY LOT

• Work with you to identify the perfect lot if you do not already have one lined up.
• Finding the right lot in an ideal location is critical and we do not rush to start building on just any site – we use our expertise of the Highland Park, University Park, Preston Hollow and surrounding Dallas areas to ensure you are building in a premium area that will appreciate in value over time and will accommodate your vision.

PHASE THREE:

DESIGN

• Collaborate throughout several sessions and conversations to further understand your vision for the design, features and key elements of your home.
  
• Transfer your ideas to paper by working with our architects to sketch out the initial design concept for both the exterior and interior.
  
• Collectively develop the initial plans through several iterations until we have perfectly captured your vision.

PHASE FOUR:

BUILD

• After finalizing the plans, it’s time to start building. We will remain in constant communication to make selections for flooring, appliances, cabinetry and more.
  
• You can expect to see us at the job site each and every day to ensure everything runs as smoothly as possible and is tracking according to plan.
  
• During the Build phase, we will continue to propose several new ideas and drawings versus what was included in the initial plans to offer a truly customized and flexible approach – we believe this is what differentiates us from others.

PHASE FIVE:

MOVE-IN

• After construction is complete and your home has been furnished, we carefully inspect every inch and apply any finishing touches to ensure top-notch quality.
  
• Following your complete satisfaction, it’s time to turn over the keys so you can move into your new home.
  
• Unlike most design-build processes, the relationship does not end here as we will remain accessible for anything you might need.
