Creating the Home You Actually Want to Live In
Design is more than floorplans and paint colors; it is about how your home lives, flows, and feels every day. At Thackery Living, our builder-led, high-performance process focuses on your family, your lot, and your lifestyle. We take the time up front to understand how you live so we can create a home that truly supports the way you want to live.
How Our Process Works
1. Discovery & Ideation
We begin with a deep dive into your vision, priorities, lifestyle, and budget. This is a focused, practical conversation about what matters most and how your new home needs to function for you day to day.
2. Site Analysis & Lot Planning
We walk the lot with you to evaluate grade, orientation, access, utilities, drainage, and visibility. This guides layout, orientation, foundation type, and long-term cost considerations.
3. Conceptual Design & Layout
You will work with a design team that was voted D Magazine Best to create a one-of-a-kind home tailored to your site, lifestyle, and long-term needs.
4. Engineering & Energy Planning
Once the concept is approved, we coordinate with structural engineers and energy consultants. Every structural element is verified, foundation and framing are designed for performance, and energy efficiency is prioritized.
5. Selections & Finish Planning
We will guide you through selections for exterior and interior finishes, fixtures, and details. Together we will carefully select materials, colors, and products that align with your style, budget, and long-term performance goals.
6. Budget & Schedule Finalization
We align scope, cost, and timeline in writing—so you know what you're building, when, and for how much. This documentation helps avoid surprises while allowing for true customizations.
7. Permitting & Pre-Construction Coordination
Our team manages final plan approvals, permit submissions, site prep coordination, and a homeowner pre-construction walk-through before breaking ground.
8. Construction Phase & Oversight
Once construction begins, our focus shifts to precise execution and consistent communication. We coordinate schedules, manage our trade partners, and verify that each phase is completed according to the plans, engineering, and specifications—not simply to minimum standards. We act as project manager and quality control, keeping a close eye on the details and making sure the work lines up with the design, structural requirements, and performance goals at every step.
9. Inspections & Punch Walk
Independent third-party inspections and internal quality checks ensure compliance and craftsmanship before each phase is signed off.
10. Final Walkthrough & Warranty Transition
You will receive a thorough homeowner orientation along with an overview of our follow-up process and warranty assistance.
Why It’s Different With Us

- Performance & Beauty
Every home is engineered for comfort, efficiency, and long-term durability—not just curb appeal. We pay attention to what is behind the walls as much as what you see every day, so your home looks great and lives even better. - Transparency Over Sales Tactics
We will not upsell you or pressure you into unnecessary upgrades; instead, we develop custom solutions that prioritize what matters most to you and help you focus on the long-term performance, comfort, and value of your home.
