Salem Design and construction excels in fine custom-built homes in the Grayson County area of Denison. After many years in the business working with large home companies, Steve prides himself on the individual attention he brings to each home. Steve does all the design and oversight himself so you will not have an entry-level building superintendent making important decisions about your home investment. Steve lives in the community and will provide attention to detail that few builders can provide.

We are currently building in Phase 1 of Fairway Estates. Steve is a licensed professional builder with 30 years experience in new residential construction. (about Steve Salem). Each home in Fairway Estates is custom designed to meet your individual needs.

Plan Design Process.
After selecting your lot, you meet with Steve to create a list of goals for your custom home. Together you will design your unique floor plan. Steve has many plan ideas to help you create your personal plan that will become your ideal home. During the Plan Design Process you will create the floor plan, Outdoor living features and landscape Shape. Type of flooring, location and type of cabinets and lighting systems are designed. You select the type and extent of your technology package which may include security and entertainment systems.

Steve includes a basic “Smart Energy Package” with your homes (energy info). This energy package will significantly decrease your energy bills compared with traditional construction.

When Plan Design process is complete Steve will provide a price for the construction of the home with allowances for interior selections. These allowances are used during the Home Interiors Selection Process. From the time of a final design the construction of your home ranges from 5-6 months. Variables include weather, home owner change orders, lot issues (?sounds funny) and home owner selection delays.

Home Interior Selections
When Final Plan Design is complete you begin the home interior selection process. Steve has recommendations for suppliers and materials, catalogs for you to choose from and personal experience with various selections. You are able to choose as much or as little as you like. The earlier these selections are made the more expeditious the building process is.

Closing and Move in
Upon completion of construction Steve will conduct a formal buyer introduction. This is the time for you and Steve to review the home in detail, making sure you understand and are familiar and satisfied with all aspects of the construction of your home.

Prior to closing you will arrange for utilities, phone, security, satellite, cable, & waste pick up. We will provide you a list of available vendors for this.
