This phase focuses on designing your dream home while securing permits, survey staking, ensuring SWPPP compliance, and coordinating gas line services to prepare the lot for construction.
Site work begins with excavation and septic installation, followed by pouring footings and foundations. Additional tasks, such as damp proofing, window wells, and backfilling, ensure the foundation is stable and ready for the next stages.
Framing includes ordering and installing lumber, trusses, and exterior windows and doors. This stage brings the structure to life, completing walls, roof, and the basic frame of the home.
During rough-in, essential systems are installed, including plumbing, electrical wiring, HVAC, and fireplaces. Inspections are conducted to ensure everything meets code and functions properly before moving forward.
This stage focuses on roofing, siding, and exterior concrete work, including driveways and patios. Final grading and landscaping prepare the outside of the home for a polished, completed look.
Interior finishes include installing cabinetry, countertops, tile, and flooring, followed by painting and fixture installation. This stage adds personality and style to your home, aligning with your vision.
The touch-up stage includes a final walkthrough to address any imperfections, paint and drywall touch-ups, and deep cleaning. This ensures your home is flawless and move-in ready.

To save money on a custom build, choose a simple design, prioritize must-haves, use standard materials, and invest in energy-efficient features. Building during off-peak seasons and working with a trusted builder can also help reduce costs.
Our custom home builds are fully tailored to your preferences and lifestyle. With a custom home, you have control over every detail, including the design, layout, materials, and finishes. The process often starts from scratch with an architect, making it the best choice for those who want a completely unique home built specifically for them.
A semi-custom home, on the other hand, is built using a pre-designed floor plan but allows for some personalization. You can make limited changes to the layout, materials, and finishes, making this option faster and more cost-effective than a fully custom home. Semi-custom homes are ideal if you want some level of customization without starting entirely from scratch.

Building a custom home typically takes 8 to 12 months, depending on the size, complexity, and specific details of the project.
A realistic budget for building a custom home varies based on location, size, and design. In Utah, costs typically range from $150 to $250 per square foot, with a 2,500-square-foot home starting around $400,000 to $800,000. Additional expenses include land preparation, permits, and custom features. At Roots Builders, we’ll help create a budget that fits your vision.
The framing and construction stage often takes the longest when building a house because it involves detailed work to create the structural framework, including walls, floors, and the roof, which must be precise for stability. Custom homes with unique designs can add complexity, and the process is highly weather-dependent, with rain or snow causing potential delays.
Building a custom home can be stressful, but with the right approach and support, the process can be exciting and rewarding. Here are some ways to minimize stress:
Don’t go cheap on the foundation, roofing, electrical and plumbing systems, or insulation. These are critical for safety, durability, and long-term efficiency. Investing in quality ensures fewer issues and better value over time.
