A Process Built on Trust

At Summerall Custom Construction, every home build begins with a conversation. The first step is simple—come in and talk David Summerall. No matter where you are in the process, David is here and ready to guide you. Some clients have a lot and a full set of plans, ready to build. Others have a lot but need direction on design. Some are still refining their ideas. Every path leads to the same goal: a home that reflects your vision, built with integrity and craftsmanship.

A Process Designed for Clarity

Building a home is a series of decisions, and our role is to make each step clear and manageable. It starts with an initial meeting, where we outline the details—what’s in place, what’s needed, and how we bring it all together. From there, a proposal defines the project’s scope, highlights its most important elements, and provides a transparent cost breakdown.

Budget discussions can feel overwhelming, but our process removes the uncertainty. A fixed-fee contract with allowances gives a structured approach, assigning values to selections such as cabinets, flooring, and countertops. As construction progresses, these choices are made thoughtfully, ensuring every detail aligns with both design and budget. A variance report tracks each selection against the original plan, so there are no surprises. Transparency keeps the process smooth, and informed decisions lead to the best outcomes.

Collaboration at Every Step

Successful builds happen when homeowners engage in the process. The best results come from clients who trust the system, respond to key decisions, and lean on our expertise. Over the years, we’ve refined a system that allows every detail to be handled in-house, reducing the need for outside vendors and giving us greater control over quality.

For clients building from a distance, clear communication keeps them connected. Regular updates, photos, and structured walkthroughs allow for informed decisions, even when they can’t be on-site. A detailed selection guide walks through every choice, from exterior colors to door hardware, so there’s never a question about what’s next.

The Final Details Matter

Construction moves quickly once it starts, but no home is complete until every detail is just right. The certificate of occupancy is a milestone, but not the finish line. After it’s issued, every trade returns for a final round of refinements, ensuring the home is move-in ready. This last phase is about precision, making sure every element reflects the craftsmanship we stand behind.

If something isn’t right, it gets fixed. There’s no gray area. The standard is simple: a home should be built the way it was meant to be, with no compromises.

The most successful projects happen when clients and builders work as a team. A home should be a reflection of the people who will live in it, shaped by a process that prioritizes trust, quality, and attention to detail. At Summerall Custom Construction, that’s what we do—create homes built to last, with a process designed to deliver the best possible experience.
