Every great home
begins with a journey.

At PerDomus, The Odyssey is our guiding framework — a clear, purposeful path that leads you from the very first conversation through move-in and beyond. Building a custom home may be one of the largest and most meaningful undertakings of your life; our process ensures that the experience is structured, informed, transparent, and deeply collaborative.

The Odyssey is not simply the steps of a build — it is the way we think, communicate, plan, protect, and create.

The Five Movements of The Odyssey

Each stage of our process is a “movement,” working together to transform possibility into permanence.

I. Orientation — Understanding Your Vision

Every Odyssey begins by gaining clarity. This is where we listen, ask questions, and uncover what matters most to you — function, style, lifestyle patterns, long-term goals, and the emotional tone of the home you want to create.

Outcomes of the Orientation stage:

• A shared understanding of your needs, priorities, and aspirations
• Discussion of your land or future land options
• Early feasibility and budget alignment
• Identification of preferred architectural direction
• Preliminary project roadmap

This stage sets the compass — ensuring the rest of the journey moves confidently in the right direction.

II. Exploration — Design, Discovery, and Possibility

Once aligned on vision, we move into purposeful exploration. This is where ideas become sketches, planning becomes structure, and your project begins taking shape.

What happens during Exploration:

• Conceptual architectural development
• Refinement of layout, massing, and flow
• Initial materials and design mood alignment
• Engineering and technical considerations
• Early-stage cost modeling
• Introduction to The Elements (material & quality standards)

Whether you bring your own architect or choose one of our trusted partners, this stage harmonizes design intent with practical execution.

III. Preparation — Building the Blueprint

Preparation is the heart of predictability. Before a single shovel touches the ground, we finalize every structural, technical, and financial detail that will govern the build.

Key components of Preparation:

• Detailed estimating and value engineering
• Full materials planning and procurement strategy
• Structural engineering review
• Permit and regulatory preparation
• Construction scheduling and logistics
• On-site evaluations and build sequencing
• Final design confirmations and sign-offs

This movement eliminates ambiguity and ensures that once construction begins, the project progresses with precision.

IV. The Build — Crafting the Home

This is the stage where The Creation and The Elements become real. Every day on site is guided by coordination, craftsmanship, and care. You will feel informed, supported, and in control.

During construction, we provide:

• Dedicated project management
• Clear communication through regular updates
• Milestone-based photographs and reports
• Budget tracking and change management
• Quality inspections at every phase
• Coordination of all trades and partners
• Protection of site integrity and materials

Your home is built with an uncompromising commitment to excellence — seen and unseen.

V. Completion & Stewardship — Beyond Move-In

Delivery is not the end of the Odyssey — it is the beginning of your life in the home.

This stage includes:

• Final walkthrough and punchlist resolution
• System orientation & home operations documentation
• Warranty and maintenance guidance
• Introduction to long-term care practices
• Ongoing support when needed

A PerDomus home is built to last, but we remain a resource for its entire lifespan.

A Process Designed for Confidence

The Odyssey ensures that your custom home journey is:

• Transparent — you always know what comes next
• Predictable — budget, schedule, and scope are managed with rigor
• Collaborative — your voice shapes every key decision
• Elevated — from design discussions to craftsmanship
• Human — we guide, advise, and support throughout

Building a home shouldn’t feel overwhelming. With The Odyssey, it becomes purposeful, inspiring, and deeply rewarding.
