The Building Process

1. PROVIDE THE ARB WITH A CONCEPTUAL DRAWING

Conceptual drawings of the exteriors give the ARB an idea of what your custom residence will look like and more importantly, how the residence will fit into the general neighborhood.

2.  OBTAIN A “TREE & TOPO” SURVEY

The survey will help you make sure that your dream home will fit on the property with adequate room for a driveway and a side-loading garage.

3. SELECT AN ARCHITECT AND BUILDER

We recommend partnering with architects and builders who are familiar with the approval process and construction at IOB.

4. INITIATE THE DESIGN AND REVIEW PROCESS

There are two stages to the process – PRELIMINARY & FINAL.  Your Architect and Builder will work with you to prepare and present the plans to the ARB.  Generally the Design and Approval Process takes two months.
