Our Process
Engage Us Early
Rely on our professional experience. In fact, the earlier that you engage us in the process of planning your home, the greater value we can provide. When we are involved from the beginning, we can ensure that you end up with the most functional, beautifully designed home possible, and most importantly, that it can be built cost-effectively. We are highly skilled at controlling cost through smart and efficient design, so you end up with a great home that can also be built within your budget.
Design Your Home
Use our connections. As the premier builder of luxury custom homes in San Diego, we have strong working relationships with the best local architects and engineers, and our team has a proven track record of creating beautifully designed and highly efficient homes. In detailed consultation with you, we will develop your design, function, and cost criteria, while ensuring all specifications are highly buildable.
Develop the Finish Details
You’ll get a comprehensive, detailed catalog of the materials, specifications and finishes that will go into your custom home, and we'll work closely with you to finalize and lock in the actual costs to build the home you specify.
The Construction Phase
End to end, it's a complicated process. But Tourmaline is not just a designer and builder, we're a full-service intermediary on your behalf. We're efficient at things like facilitating building plan approvals and coordinating suppliers and services. Once construction starts, we will handle all aspects of construction, and will serve as the point of contact for all consultants and inspectors. We will keep you regularly updated on the progress of your home, providing you with peace of mind whether you live down the street or out of town.
Long Term Relationship
Soon, your family will move into your wonderful new home. But our relationship does not end there. We're proud of what we build and stand behind our work. You get a very comprehensive warranty, and it's a Tourmaline home, so if there ever is a problem, you know we will do our utmost to make it right.
Work with us to design and build the custom home of your dreams. Or purchase a home that we are already building, and we will work with you to customize it with finishes, fixtures and amenities.
