The Pepperdign Homes business plan is unlike traditional home builders in the area, we focus as much on building custom homes as we do on our semi-custom homes. The process is much easier than you might imagine.

The first step is to get a lot you want to build on. In most cases buyers have picked out a lot already but if necessary we can help. We have relationships with developers in and around the Salt Lake Valley and in many cases can actually save you even more money by going through us to get your lot.

The second step is designing your home. This is often the most difficult part for a new home owner. If you have an idea of what you like it’s as easy as writing it down on a piece of paper. Our drafter can bring it to life by taking your floor plan and making it into a workable sketch with rooms sizes and dimensions, also included with your plan are outside exterior elevations. Or if you have a plan you already have picked out simply bring it to us. We then can create a budget off this plan which will allow us to estimate the cost of building your home.

The third step is engineering your plan. Once the layout of your home is complete and meets all your needs, meaning it fits your budget and the floor plan is just how you want it, we turn it in for engineering. Our engineer will make sure the home is built to meet or exceed all the required building codes set by the city.

The last step is submitting the home for a building permit with the city. Each city has a building department that is required to approve all plans before they can be built. This is another step taken to make sure your home is built properly. The cities main priority is making sure the home meets all the safety regulations.

Once the plans are approved with the city we are then ready to start digging a hole and you are then on your way with your very own custom floor plan.
