Understanding the Process
Unlike building a custom home on undeveloped land, replacing an existing house begins with a thorough assessment of the current residence.
Our team can help you decide whether to save or donate any materials, fixtures, or appliances to a nonprofit.
We’ll walk the property with you to determine the best location for your new home.
Removing the existing house can add a few weeks to your construction timeline. We’ll help you understand your homeowner responsibilities regarding contacting utility companies or other tasks.
Once the existing house is removed and your design is finalized, we can begin the custom home design and building process.
Our selection coordinator will guide you in selecting all the materials for your new home.
Our clients find meeting with local high-end suppliers fun and exciting.
You’ll start to see your new luxury home coming to life.

Is This Right for You?
If you purchase an existing home in a great location but it is not your ideal house, you have two options: make renovations or replace the house and start with a fresh canvas.
One thing to remember is that renovations are time-consuming and often uncover unpleasant and costly surprises. Instead of working around outdated systems and structural challenges, replacing the existing house entirely with precisely what you want could be more sensible.

Advantages to Consider
Retrofitting the current home amenities and styles into an existing house can be difficult or even impossible. Today’s home innovations create buildings that are more energy efficient and better suited to the way people want to live today.
By removing the existing house and using our design-build expertise, your building crew will be able to work efficiently with familiar materials and well-conceived plans. This approach could even cost you less money and aggravation than a whole-home renovation.

Location, Location, Location
The most enticing reason is the ability to live in your first-choice community.
Undeveloped building lots in Indian Hill and other desirable Cincinnati areas are nearly impossible to find.
Purchasing an existing house on a lot you love gives you everything you want without compromises.
No more searching for available property; you can take advantage of a well-established site.
