Every Mabrey Construction project follows a documented 7-step framework: a complimentary consultation, a Design & Discovery phase, a fixed construction agreement, permits and approvals we secure for you, a build with bi-weekly updates, a certificate of occupancy with full documentation, and a housewarming celebration we host. Everything is discussed upfront — budgets, timelines, and decisions — so there are no surprises.
- Every number on the rail is Sean's published figure — the same ones you will see in writing.
- Challenges anticipated before they arrive, decisions made while they are still cheap.
- You stay informed at every step — bi-weekly, in writing, no chasing.
A complimentary, no-obligation consultation by phone or Zoom. We explore your goals and inspiration, talk honestly about budget ballparks and financing options, outline the process and timeline, and decide together whether the Design & Discovery phase makes sense.
Your land evaluated (or the right site found), a thorough feasibility read on what your budget can build, floor plans and elevations customized, allowances set for major selections, and sitework, permit, and utility costs put on the table. Typical investment: $500 to $2,500 based on scope.
Detailed cost analysis, payment schedule and milestones, a real project timeline, and your selections task list — then the agreement is signed with a deposit for construction drawings, permitting, and site plan (typically $5,000 to $30,000 depending on scope). Complete clarity before construction begins.
Building permits, zoning compliance, environmental and historic-district considerations, HOA reviews, health department and site-development approvals, utility connections — coordinated with every authority so the approval chapter runs smoothly without living in your inbox.
Sitework, foundation, utilities, and the build itself — with bi-weekly progress, budget, and timeline updates by Zoom, internal quality checks at key milestones, inspector scheduling handled, changes priced in writing before they happen, and an optional job-site camera for 24/7 remote viewing.
Detailed walkthroughs, every punch-list item completed, systems orientation and training, warranty coverage reviewed, owner's manuals and a digital record of specifications, selections, and paint colors delivered — then final inspections, occupancy, professional deep cleaning, and check-ins during your first months.
We host a housewarming celebration at our expense — and we invite back the craftspeople who built your home to see it finished and enjoyed. Friends, family, and the team that made it, in the home you imagined. That is how a no-surprises build is supposed to end.
The framework holds because every commitment is written down — before the build, and at every step during it.
- Budgets discussed honestly from the first consultation
- Design decisions priced as they are made, not after
- A written agreement with payment schedule and milestones
- Bi-weekly progress, budget, and timeline updates during the build
- Changes evaluated in writing before they happen
- A digital record of every specification, selection, and paint color
Cannot find your answer? A real person is one call away, no pressure.
- A real person answers. No phone tree, no pressure to commit.
- Free consultation: scope, budget, and next steps in writing — before any contract.
- Straight answers on cost, permits, and financing, even when the answer is that the smaller project wins.
We encourage finalizing decisions before construction begins, but seeing your home take shape can inspire new ideas. Our change-order process evaluates any modification with detailed cost and timeline impacts in writing before proceeding — flexibility without surprises.
As involved as you want to be. Our team is available to answer questions and discuss progress throughout, with bi-weekly updates as the baseline. Keeping you informed and involved is part of how the process stays enjoyable.
Carefully selected trade partners, project managers overseeing daily progress, and inspections that go beyond local requirements — with detailed checklists for each construction phase. Systematic quality control is what makes a home built to last.
A complimentary consultation by phone or Zoom — no obligation, no pressure, just clarity.
