The JHI Process: From First Site Walk to Move-In Day

By JHI Construction – Custom Home Builders, Los Angeles

When you’re building a custom home, you’re not just hiring a contractor — you’re choosing a partner who will guide you through one of the most significant projects of your life.

At JHI Construction, we believe the process should feel clear, collaborative, and inspiring from start to finish. That’s why our approach is hands-on at every stage — you’ll see Jeff on site, in design meetings, and working directly with your architect and engineers to make sure no detail is overlooked.

Here’s how we take your home from concept to completion.

1. The First Site Walk

Every project begins with a personal walk-through of your lot or existing home. We listen to your goals, assess the property’s opportunities and challenges, and start thinking about how to turn your vision into reality.

If it’s a hillside property, we’ll immediately discuss the importance of geotechnical surveys, slope stability, and site-specific engineering solutions.

2. Feasibility & Preconstruction Planning

Before we draw a single line, we make sure your project is possible within your timeline, budget, and local building requirements. This stage may include:

• Geotechnical and structural assessments

• Zoning and permit research

• Preliminary cost projections

By tackling these items early, we avoid costly surprises later.

3. Design Collaboration

We partner with your architect — or bring in one from our trusted network — to refine your plans with construction in mind. We focus on structural integrity, indoor-outdoor flow, natural light, and integrating special features like smart home systems or luxury amenities.

Our experience in both residential and boutique commercial work means we can bring unique solutions, whether it’s a spa-inspired bathroom, private gym, or custom millwork.

4. Construction Management

Once permits are approved, the build begins. This is where our hands-on approach truly matters:

• Jeff attends on-site meetings with you and the design team

• Progress updates are clear and consistent

• Any necessary adjustments are made in real time, keeping the project on track

Our crews are experienced in complex builds, from hillside foundations to precision carpentry, ensuring the highest standard at every phase.

5. Finishing Touches & Move-In

The final stage is where your home truly comes to life. We walk through every space with you, fine-tuning details and ensuring everything meets your expectations — from the grain of the cabinetry to the performance of your lighting and climate systems.

When we hand you the keys, your home isn’t just complete — it’s move-in ready, down to the last detail.
