Our Home Building Process

At Dakota GC, we are not just builders; we are partners in bringing your dream home to life. Located in Greenville, SC, we are Jennifer and Vic Caponey, a husband-and-wife team with over 25 years of experience in building and renovating homes.

We believe in a personalized approach to home building, where each client works directly with us, ensuring your vision is realized with a personal touch and professional expertise.

Step-by-Step Guide to Our Home Building Process

Step 1: Initial Consultation and Site Evaluation

Your journey begins with a personal consultation where we discuss your vision, needs, and budget. We visit your prospective site together to assess the best placement for your house, considering factors like sunlight, terrain, and utilities. This step ensures that your new home not only meets your expectations but also harmonizes with its natural surroundings.

Step 2: Design and Customization

Once we understand your vision and the specifics of your site, we dive into the design phase. We walk you through the plans meticulously, making sure every detail aligns with your lifestyle and preferences. We encourage you to bring your ideas, whether they’re from scrapbooks, Pinterest, or even sketches on a napkin. We cherish these personal touches and integrate them into the final design.

Step 3: Selections and Personalization

At Dakota GC, we empower you with choices. Our unique contract structure uses allowances that let you select your fixtures, tiles, flooring, and more from any store you prefer. This means you truly get to customize your house your way, making design choices that reflect your personal taste and style.

Step 4: Construction Begins

With the design set and choices made, construction begins. Unlike larger companies, where you might see different faces each day, with Dakota GC, Vic and Jennifer are on-site every day, ensuring everything is on track and up to our standards. We manage every aspect of the construction process, from laying the foundation to framing, and from plumbing to painting.

Step 5: Ongoing Communication

Communication is key in our process. We maintain open and frequent communication, updating you at every stage of the build. You can expect regular progress reports and we are always available to answer any questions you may have. We handle any concerns immediately, ensuring a smooth and transparent process.

Step 6: Final Walkthrough and Handover

As we near completion, we conduct a detailed final walkthrough with you. This is your opportunity to see your finished home, point out any elements that need adjusting, and ensure everything is completed to your satisfaction. Once everything is perfect, we hand over the keys to your new custom home.

Step 7: Post-Construction Support

Our relationship doesn’t end when we hand over the keys. We follow up to ensure you are completely happy and settle in without any issues. Dakota GC offers a comprehensive warranty and stands by the quality of our construction, giving you peace of mind that your new home is built to last.
