Design + Build
A Fully Integrated Custom Home Experience From Concept to Completion
Designing and building a custom home is most successful when vision, planning, and construction work together as one cohesive process. Choice Builders offers a comprehensive design-build approach that brings architecture, interior planning, budgeting, and construction under a single, coordinated team, creating a smoother experience and a better final result.
From the earliest design conversations through detailed pre-construction planning and final build-out, we guide you through every step with clarity, expertise, and a commitment to craftsmanship.
One Team. One Vision. One Seamless Process.
Our design-build model eliminates the disconnect that can occur when designers, architects, and builders operate independently. By collaborating from day one, we are able to align your vision with structural feasibility, cost expectations, and long-term performance.
This integrated approach allows us to:
- Design fully custom floor plans and elevations
- Balance architectural creativity with buildability
- Establish realistic budgets early in the process
- Reduce surprises during construction
- Maintain consistency from design intent to finished home
Whether you are planning a modern custom home, a luxury residence, or a complex renovation, our design-build process ensures every decision is informed, coordinated, and purposeful. You can trust that Ryan and the Choice Builders team will work with integrity, treat you with respect, and value your budget as if it were their own.
Pre-Construction & Design Consultation
Thoughtful planning is the foundation of every successful custom home. Choice Builders provides in-depth pre-construction and design consultation services to help clients make confident, informed decisions before construction begins. And our clients love the experience of building a new home with us. See what they have to say about it.
During this phase, we work closely with you to:
- Clarify lifestyle needs, spatial priorities, and long-term goals
- Develop custom floor plans and architectural concepts
- Explore modern and contemporary design options
- Evaluate sites, views, and orientation
- Select materials, finishes, and key features
- Align design vision with budget and timeline expectations
This collaborative planning process allows us to refine details early, reduce change orders later, and create a clear roadmap for construction.
Custom Design, Without Limitations
Choice Builders does not rely on pre-set floor plans or limited design packages. Every home is created from the ground up, allowing complete flexibility in layout, structure, and aesthetic. We can even design around furniture—so the dinner table that’s been in your family for 100 years will fit perfectly in your dining room.
Our custom design services support:
- Modern and contemporary architectural styles
- Open-concept living and dramatic ceiling volumes
- Large kitchens with statement islands and walk-in pantries
- Spa-inspired bathrooms and Cambria shower systems
- Smart home integration and lighting design
- Outdoor living spaces, screened-in patios, and outdoor kitchens
- Walkout basements, home offices, fitness rooms, and golf simulators by Carl’s Place
- Heated floors, heated decks, and retractable screen systems
Each element is thoughtfully planned to enhance comfort, functionality, and long-term enjoyment.
Design-Build Backed by Trusted Craftsmen
The success of any design-build project depends on execution. Choice Builders partners with a carefully vetted network of architects, designers, engineers, and trade professionals who share our standards for quality and accountability. Including true design expert Ruth Ann Scott at The Living Door in Sioux Falls to create the best possible experience for you. Ruth Ann has been doing custom home design for more than 10 years. She has a keen eye for detail and a natural ability to make your home a reflection of your lifestyle.
Rather than selecting subcontractors based on lowest bid, we work with trusted craftsmen who consistently deliver precision, communication, and reliability. This ensures that the vision established during design is carried through every phase of construction.
A Clear, Collaborative Path Forward
Our design-build and pre-construction process typically includes:
- Initial Consultation – Understanding your goals, lifestyle, budget, and site – you choose your location rather than taking whatever lot the builder has available.
- Concept Development – Custom floor plans, elevations, and design direction.
- Pre-Construction Planning – Detailed budgeting, scheduling, and documentation. We provide all receipts and financial updates on every decision we make during your build.
- Construction – Coordinated execution by experienced, vetted professionals.
- Completion & Transition – Final walkthroughs, quality assurance, and ongoing support.
This structure provides clarity, minimizes uncertainty, and allows clients to enjoy the creative process with confidence.
