steps to owning a home
Building a beautifully crafted custom home is often a daunting task, but with Mark LaBorde Builders, it can be a rewarding, even enjoyable, experience. It's very important to meet with us as early as possible, to make sure everything is aligned to make the creation of your dream home as easy as possible.

We encourage you to start by using our online contact form to let us know a little about your project. Then, refer to the following10 simple steps we've developed to take you through the building process.




It's important to meet with an architect to go over your ideas and desires. Throw in everything you want to make your dream home perfect. Mark LaBorde Builders works closely with Kevin Gossen of Gosen Architects. Kevin is known throughout the U.S. as one of the major architects for prestigious homes. Or, you can choose any architect that you're comfortable with. The architect will create preliminary drawings of your home for costing purposes.


From the preliminary drawings, Mark LaBorde Builders will go over the details to figure out everything that will go into building your home. We'll get all the information together from our sources and generate an accurate cost.


At this point, you can make any desired revisions and the architect will produce the finished plans which will serve as a guidebook for the work crews.


Now we all get together to go over the plans, costs, questions and whatever other details you need to make sure that your home is built exactly how you want it, and that it meets your budget.


Once everything is decided, we begin the task of bringing your home to life.


Now that the foundation and shell of the house are complete, you can come in and begin selecting electrical and plumbing fixtures, two very important components that can make your home even more distinctive.


This step is popular with gadget lovers. It involves reviewing alarm system needs and installation, and deciding on any specialty items like advanced entertainment systems with special electrical or wiring needs.


A favorite for wives. Now it's time to select custom paint colors, special types of wood, unique marble, brick, carpet, faux finishes and other items that add value. We'll show you everything available, and give advice on appropriate combinations.


The house is just about complete. It's time to finalize the unique setting you want your home situated in. Careful attention to this step will pay off to make your home one with it's surroundings. We'll make sure it's done right.


Now we assist you in the selection and creation of those final elements: the pool (many unique designs are available), a courtyard and classic fencing are some of the things that will complement your home.

Now that it's all done, it's time to invite friends over for a housewarming party that will leave them speechless.
