Our Design-Build Process

1 | Start the Conversation
We begin with a discovery call or in-person meeting to understand your goals, lifestyle, and investment level. Whether you own land or are just getting started, this step helps us align on expectations and determine if we're the right fit. You'll gain insight into what’s possible and how we guide you from concept to construction.
2 | Design and Plan with Purpose
Through a structured pre-construction agreement, we collaborate to develop your home’s design, make early selections, and provide a realistic, fixed-price proposal. This approach eliminates costly surprises and keeps the process on track. You’ll walk away with detailed plans and confidence in the final investment before we break ground.
3 | Build with Confidence
Once designs and pricing are approved, we move into construction. You’ll stay informed through regular updates and BuilderTrend access, while our team manages every detail on site. The result is a well-built, thoughtfully designed home delivered with care and precision.

Grace Alon Builders custom home in Roanoke Metropolitan with elevated deck and stone patio

What Our Clients Think

"Grace Alon removed our 30 yr. old open deck and replaced it with a beautiful new covered deck. The roof line on the house was extended to cover the full length of the deck, giving us much more protection from sun, rain and snow. The roof extension also keeps the concrete area below the deck dry. Andrew Lee (the general contractor) and his subcontractors did a nice job and we're completely satisfied with the results."

What Our Clients Think

"Grace Alon Builders removed an exterior wall and incorporated our screened porch into our living room. We enlarged our fireplace facade and added wood storage. It was a complete success and we are very happy with the results. They are wonderful to work with and we highly recommend them. Denise and Giff"
