How PHB Approaches Custom Builds

Every custom build is guided by transparency, education, and experience—so the process feels steady and well-supported from start to finish.

Transparency

Early conversations focus on priorities, lifestyle needs, and overall expectations—creating a clear foundation before decisions move forward.

Educate

Understanding what drives cost and how selections impact the overall investment helps decisions feel informed, not overwhelming. Projects are typically structured on a cost-plus, open-book basis.

Guidance

From design through completion, PHB provides experienced guidance through choices and details—so the home comes together thoughtfully and without unnecessary stress.

PHB’s role is to guide the process from early design decisions through final completion—so the experience feels clear, supported, and intentional at every stage. If you’d like to explore planning topics at your own pace, our Builder Resources provide additional clarity around pricing, allowances, and early decisions.
