Build Your
Dream Custom Home
OUR HOME BUILDING PROCESS
SIMPLE | CLEAR | DESIGNED AROUND YOU
​​
Building a custom home doesn’t have to feel overwhelming. At Mellor Woodworks, we’ve created a process that takes the stress out and brings the excitement in. From first sketches to handing you the keys, we walk side-by-side with you at every stage, keeping things transparent, fun, and focused on what matters most — your dream home.
​
Dream and Design
This is where it all begins! You’ll team up with our talented design crew to shape your vision. Together, we’ll sit down and talk through every detail — from square footage and layout to roofing, porches, exterior finishes, and all those unique touches that make a house feel like home. Want an open kitchen perfect for entertaining? A wrap-around porch for Oklahoma sunsets? A bonus room above the garage? No dream is too big, and no detail is too small. We’ll bring professional insight, floor plan expertise, and creative ideas to the table, while making sure your personal style leads the way.
​
Budget & Adjust
Once your design starts to take shape, we’ll dig into the numbers together. This step is all about balancing vision with reality. Sometimes it means scaling up to add that dream kitchen island, or scaling back a little to keep things comfortably within budget. We don’t just hand you a number and hope it works. Instead, we work with you to align your design with your financial goals, so you always
know exactly where things stand. Our aim is simple: no surprises, no confusion — just a clear path forward to the home you’ve envisioned.
​
Contracts & Planning
With design and budget locked in, we move into the planning stage. Here’s where we finalize contracts, set out milestone dates, and establish payment terms that are transparent and predictable. You’ll know when key stages of the project will happen and what to expect
along the way. This is also when our team coordinates permits, schedules crews, and lines up materials, so once we break ground, everything runs smoothly. Think of this step as setting the foundation not just for your home, but for the whole experience — steady, organized, and stress-free.
​
Build & Enjoy
Now the fun really begins! Construction kicks off, and your dream home starts rising from the ground. We’ll keep you updated with progress reports, photos, and site visits. We love having clients stop by — it’s your home, after all! Walk the site, take photos, ask questions, and enjoy watching the pieces fall into place.From framing to finishes, we’ll keep quality and craftsmanship at the
forefront, while making sure you feel connected to the process. Before you know it, you’ll be stepping through the front door of the home you designed and built with us.
