Maybe you’re dreaming of a beautiful custom home, a hobby workshop or garage, or a horse barn with a covered riding arena just steps away. Whatever the case may be for your project, there’s never been a better time to get started on your build than the present moment.

Fall is often thought of as the beginning of school for many parents or academics, but here, we like to think of it as primetime for project kickoffs. When you consider that our process—from design to delivery—takes about 5 to 8 months on average, it makes perfect sense why the upcoming season provides an ideal time for design and material preparation.

Starting your design now allows you to prep your build for spring or summer construction, making it easier, faster, and safer for you and your building crew to assemble your design and materials package. While some clients may opt for a winter build, especially if they’re located in more temperate regions like Southern California or the Hawaiian Islands, this inevitably comes with more weather delays, limited daylight, and potentially greater costs. By initiating the design process now, you can plan for a smoother, more streamlined construction phase, providing you with greater peace of mind and savings opportunities on your investment.

Additionally, finalizing your plans early enables you to secure building permits before the spring rush, reserve contractors ahead of peak season, and acquire materials before demand drives up lead times and costs. This preparation not only keeps your project on schedule but also ensures you’ll be ready to break ground as soon as conditions allow—so you can start enjoying your new space by next summer.
