Whitmore Homes

Whitmore Custom Homes is a family-owned and operated company dedicated to providing luxury homes and renovations at a fixed price. Founded by three brothers - Ryan, Brett, and Nate - our journey is steeped in a unique blend of engineering expertise and a shared passion for design. As professional project managers, we have redefined the process of custom homes building.

Our Core Values

At Whitmore Custom Homes, we operate on a set of core values that guide our business practices. These values are:

• Business-Minded: We act in a way that leads to success for all stakeholders.
• Empathy: We make decisions based on respect for others' positions.
• Passion: We pursue excellence through continuous improvement.
• Integrity: We follow through on our commitments.

Our Fixed Price Process

Our fixed price process is designed to deliver a stress-free client experience. We take on unprecedented risk and responsibility to stay on schedule and on budget. Our six-step process includes:

• Inquiry Phase: Building trust is key for a successful project. Understanding and aligning goals, communicating processes, and providing detailed estimates are ways we earn your trust from the very start.
• Pre-Design Phase: As professional project managers, we are more than just your builder. Walking your lot, completing a site feasibility study, and initiating a zoning review are important factors to understand prior to initiating design.
• Design Phase: We bring clarity to design by estimating cost along the way. Having an advocate that understands the cost impact of design decisions ensures the plans meet both your goals and your budget.
• Bidding Phase: The construction plans only tell part of the story. Filling in minute, but crucial information with our custom specification document allows us to pursue multiple bids that capture the details of your custom project.
• Contract Presentation: Prior to construction, we present a fixed price construction contract along with a project completion date. We take on unprecedented risk, so you do not have to worry about cost fluctuations.
• Construction Phase: Your project manager, site superintendent, and selections coordinator communicate daily through our online project management software, so you can stay up to date as you witness your custom project come to life.
