Our Process

Step 1 Design
Begin the process with a country drive to our model home display office and workshops in picturesque Bolton, CT, or virtually from the comfort of your home. Our expert staff will help determine the size, style and floor plan of a home that best suits your family’s needs, lifestyle, and budget. Preliminary design sketches and an itemized quote are prepared for your Home Building Package clearly out-lining the labor and material responsibilities of Early New England Homes. With these documents and our “Understanding the Process” booklet you can meet with a general contractor to obtain an estimate for complete construction costs.

Step 2 Preconstruction
With our engineered building plans your GC/Builder will secure building permits and all necessary subcontractors. Early New England Homes will also supply comprehensive construction booklets such as “Construction Details,” “Fireplace & Chimney Details,” “Exterior Trim Details,” and “Finish Trim Details.” Before construction begins, your GC/Builder will typically work with an engineer to develop an approved site plan outlining approximate locations and elevations of the proposed building(s), well and septic. With permits in place, Early New England Homes and the GC/Builder will work closely to coordinate project logistics.

Step 3 Manufacture
In our workshops we handcraft our unique pre-cut timbered ceiling, along with pre-cut exterior wall studs and pre-cut rafters. You can also choose to add some or all the custom handmade options from our workshops, including bead board trim, wide floorboards, hand planed paneling, stairs, and doors as well as hand-forged hardware and built ins.

Step 4 Delivery
Within New England and the greater New England area we deliver our Home Building Packages in three separate shipments, including the option of our crew and crane to help your carpenters set the timbered ceiling system. For shipments outside our delivery range, we use a local broker to carry the entire Home Building Package by tractor trailer in one shipment which the GC/Builder is responsible for offloading.

Step 5 Build
By adhering to our engineered plans and construction booklets, professional builders have the support necessary to achieve 100% satisfaction for our mutual customer. Early New England Homes hopes to achieve ongoing relationships with every builder and general contractor that contracts to assemble one of our home building packages, therefore, we encourage all questions, and we remain available for consultation throughout all stages of the construction process.
