Myrtle Beach Custom Home Building Process

Our process is straightforward: we start with a conversation, then move to design, and finally bring your vision to life through the custom home building process.

We have a comprehensive quoting process that helps us learn more about your needs in detail so that we can quote your project accurately.

We recommend working with local lenders in our area who can provide a construction to permanent loan. If you don’t have a lender we have a few we can recommend.

We build along the Grand Strand, from Pawleys Island to the North Carolina border. Most of our projects are centrally located in the Myrtle Beach and Carolina Forest area.

Absolutely, and we hope you will also be willing to provide a great reference after we build your home as well!

Land / Plans for Custom Homes in Myrtle Beach

We do not own lots in the communities we work in; instead, we collaborate with you to find the perfect lot that meets your needs.

We would be more than happy to assist you with finding the right lot. We have a realtor on staff and we want to be involved before any lot is purchased to ensure it can accommodate the type of accessible home you envision.

Our typical custom home in Myrtle Beach takes about three months to plan and six months to build. No project is the same so we encourage a consultation call to help provide more specific information for your project.

We find that clients who buy plans online typically want to make architectural changes. Because of this, we recommend finding a plan that fits your needs and then customizing it specifically for you. We do not copy any plan found online or from any other designer or architect.

We prefer you to use our design services as we can guarantee the best possible experience. If you are already working with a designer we are still more than happy to work with you.

We sure can. All we need is a letter of release from the designer or architect along with the plans in PDF form and the file.

The Swift Creek Homes Experience

We conduct Friday phone calls with our clients as well as a daily log through our construction software platform. Buildertrend is our construction software of choice and features daily logs and real time updates for selections, scheduling, and change orders, along with photos of your home during the custom home building process.

A bonus room can be left unfinished, but the cost to complete the unfinished space is typically not much more than finishing it from the start. We recommend evaluating the project budget as a complete custom home build project and then make modifications as needed.

We provide final grading, irrigation, sod, and landscaping for every home. We encourage our clients to keep a watchful eye on sod and new plantings for the first few months to ensure they are receiving adequate water. We cannot warranty sod or landscaping, but we can ensure the planted material will be in excellent shape at the time of planting.

We provide a one-year Builder warranty. If anything breaks, we are ready to replace it with no questions asked. You will also receive an eight-year structural warranty as a courtesy to our clients. We return for a one-year paint and drywall touch-up as well.
