The Terra Buildr New Home Process
A clear, organized path from early feasibility through move-in, designed to reduce friction and protect the quality of your home.
1. Feasibility & Pre-Construction
Site evaluation, zoning and setback review, utilities, access, and preliminary structural considerations. We identify constraints early so design and budget stay aligned.
2. Architecture & Design
We collaborate with your architect (or introduce partners) to tune massing, rooflines, materials and glazing to your site and lifestyle priorities.
3. Permits & Engineering
Planning and building submittals, coordination with your chosen structural engineer, and tracking of comments, revisions and approvals.
4. Build Phase
Foundations, framing, roofing, windows, exterior cladding, MEP, insulation, drywall and finishes — executed with disciplined on-site management and regular updates.
5. Closeout & Hand-Off
Final inspections, punch-list completion, documentation and a clean, move-in-ready home.

Do you help with architecture?
Yes. We collaborate with architects throughout the process to align design decisions with budget, feasibility, structural requirements and long-term performance.

How much does a new home cost per square foot?
Luxury new homes in the Bay Area commonly begin around $650–$900 per square foot, driven by design complexity, structural demands, site access, finishes and level of customization.
