What to Expect When Building a Custom Home with KT Homes
A step-by-step guide to the custom home building process in Southern Oregon
Building a custom home is an exciting opportunity to create a space that reflects your lifestyle, values, and vision — but it can also feel overwhelming if you don’t know what to expect. At KT Homes, we’ve simplified the process so you can enjoy the journey without the stress.
Whether you're building in one of our communities or on your own land in Southern Oregon, here's what you can expect when you build a custom home with KT Homes.
1. Initial Consultation with Our Southern Oregon Homebuilding Team
Your journey starts with a conversation. During your first meeting, we’ll listen to your ideas, goals, timeline, and budget. Whether you already own land or are still exploring your options, we’ll help you understand what’s possible and how to get started.
Tip: If you don’t have a floorplan in mind, don’t worry — we have options to choose from or we’ll design one together.
2. Designing Your Custom Home with Our In-House Designer
One of the biggest advantages of working with KT Homes is our personalized design experience. You’ll work directly with our in-house designer to craft a home that fits your style and needs — from layout to finishes and everything in between.
We can:
Modify one of our existing floorplans
Design a fully custom plan from scratch
Help you balance functionality, beauty, and budget
This step is where your vision becomes reality — and we make sure it reflects you.
3. Site Evaluation (If You’re Building on Your Own Land)
If you’re building on land you already own in Southern Oregon, our team will conduct a thorough site evaluation to ensure everything is build-ready. We'll assess topography, utilities, access, and any permitting requirements.
KT Homes also offers homesites within our communities, like Hilltop at Southview in Klamath Falls, if you're looking for a more turnkey location.
4. Clear Budgeting & Transparent Bids
We know how important it is to stay within budget — especially for a custom build. We provide transparent, detailed estimates and walk you through each cost line so there are no surprises down the road.
Our process is built on honesty and open communication, with every detail clearly outlined before construction begins.
5. Construction Begins: Watch Your Southern Oregon Custom Home Come to Life
Once permits are secured with your county and the design is finalized, construction begins. Our team will manage every step, keeping you updated along the way with regular communication and progress reports.
We pride ourselves on:
Quality craftsmanship
Reliable timelines
Clean, safe job sites
Respect for your vision and property
6. Final Walkthrough & Move-In
As your custom home nears completion, we’ll schedule a final walkthrough to ensure every detail meets your expectations. We’ll walk through your new space together, answer any questions, and make sure everything is just right.
You’ll receive keys to a brand-new home — built with care, by a builder who values your trust.
