Custom Home Design That Fits Your Life—and the Land

At Dow Construction, we design homes that work for you—your lifestyle, your needs, and your land. Our custom plans are tailored to your lot, taking into account sun, slope, wind, and water so your home sits naturally in the environment—not just on it.

By combining smart architectural design with durable, low-maintenance materials, we’re able to build homes that are both functional and beautiful. From rooflines to trim details, every element is crafted to enhance curb appeal while reducing long-term upkeep. The result is a home that looks great, works hard, and lasts for generations.

Let us help you create something timeless, practical, and perfectly suited to where—and how—you want to live.

These plans are customizable to fit different needs and budgets while ensuring long-lasting durability.

Our Process & How Our Team Works


How the Relationship Begins

Every project starts with an initial connection through our website or with our office manager. At this stage, we gather critical information about the project such as location, scope, timing, and general budget expectations. This allows us to determine whether the project is a good fit for our team and whether it makes sense to move forward.

If the project is not a fit, we will clearly communicate that and, when possible, offer a referral to another professional. If it is a potential fit, the project moves to the next step.

Initial Owner Meeting & Project Fit

Once a project passes initial screening, Colton meets directly with the client. This meeting is focused on:

  • understanding the full scope of work

  • clarifying goals, priorities, and constraints

  • discussing timing and general approach

At this meeting, Colton provides a same-day ballpark estimate based on experience and the information gathered. This number is intended to determine alignment, not to lock in final pricing.

If the ballpark range is not acceptable, we pause the process respectfully. If it is acceptable, we move forward.

Formal Estimate, Agreement & Deposit

When the ballpark estimate is approved, the owner prepares a formal written estimate and agreement. This is delivered digitally, where it can be reviewed, signed, and documented. A deposit is required to move the project into active planning.

Once the agreement is signed and the deposit is received, the project enters pre-construction.

Pre-Construction, Planning & Permitting

During pre-construction we:

  • work through plans and design coordination

  • manage permitting and approvals

  • complete a pre-construction checklist

  • confirm scope, selections, and logistics

Construction does not begin until all required approvals are in place and the project is ready to move efficiently.

Project Management & Construction Phase

Once the project is approved for construction, the Project Manager Peter Dow takes the lead.

The Peter becomes the primary point of contact for:

  • scheduling

  • crew coordination

  • materials

  • subcontractors

  • approved change orders

Our construction approach uses specialized crews and leapfrogging scheduling. We plan to:

  • start projects efficiently

  • get buildings weather-tight

  • sequence work based on inspections, materials, and weather

  • return when conditions make sense for quality and efficiency

This approach allows us to maintain flexibility, manage supply delays, and complete interior work during winter months when appropriate.

Even when crews are not on site daily, the project is actively managed behind the scenes.

Communication & Billing

Our office manager  Hannah is the first point of contact for most client communication and billing questions. This allows the team to respond quickly and efficiently.

The office manager will either:

  • answer questions directly, or

  • route them to the appropriate team member for follow-up

Billing is handled through the office and coordinated with the project manager to ensure clarity and accuracy.

Final Walkthrough & Close-Out

As the project nears completion, we schedule a final walkthrough with the homeowner and  Colton. Together we:

  • review the completed work

  • create a final punch list

  • address any remaining items

  • discuss lessons learned and future improvements

Once final items are completed, the project is closed out with a clear path forward for future work or maintenance.
