How We Work

A clear process builds confidence. Here's what happens from your first conversation to final walk-through.

Consultation & Site Review

We meet at your lot to assess soil conditions, utilities, and how the property sits. Lot size and topography matter in East Cobb neighborhoods—every detail influences design and cost.

Design & Planning

We develop plans that work with local zoning, setbacks, and if you're in a historic district like Kennesaw Avenue, design guidelines. Custom blueprints show exactly what you'll get.

Permits & Approvals

We handle Cobb County permits, erosion control inspections, and any historic district certificates. Knowing who to contact and what documents are needed saves you months of hassle.

Foundation & Framing

Inspectors sign off at each phase: footing, framing, insulation. Cobb County enforces code and we stay on top of every inspection so you're never surprised.

Exterior & Interior Finish

Siding, roofing, windows, and interior systems get installed and tested. We coordinate all trades so nothing overlaps or gets missed.

Final Inspection & Occupancy

Fire marshal and building inspector do final walk-through. Once approved, you get your Certificate of Occupancy and the keys to your new home.

You'll always know what's happening next—and when.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a permit for a new home in Marietta?

Yes. Building permits are required for all new construction in the City of Marietta and unincorporated Cobb County. We handle the application, plans review, and inspection coordination with the Cobb County Community Development Agency.

What if my home is in a historic district?

Historic properties—like those on Kennesaw Avenue or in the Forest Hills Historic District—require a Certificate of Appropriateness from the Marietta Historic Preservation Commission before construction begins. We submit those applications and ensure your plans meet design guidelines.

What about erosion control and tree buffers?

Cobb County's Erosion Control Division enforces tree and buffer regulations on residential properties. East Cobb neighborhoods often have significant wooded setbacks. We design sites to comply with these rules while maximizing your usable land.

How many inspections happen during construction?

Typically five to seven inspections: foundation/footing, framing, insulation, electrical/mechanical, and final occupancy. Each inspection verifies compliance with the Georgia Building Code. We schedule them and guide inspectors through the work.

Can you work with my chosen architect or designer?

Absolutely. We collaborate with architects, designers, and engineers regularly. We review plans for buildability, code compliance, and feasibility before submitting permits, so revisions are minimal.

What siding materials do you recommend for Marietta's climate?

Fiber cement, quality vinyl, and natural wood all work here—it's about proper installation and maintenance. Georgia humidity demands good drainage and ventilation behind siding. We use materials that satisfy inspectors and last in our weather.
