How the Park City Home Builder Program Works

Our step-by-step program starts with your vision and ends with keys in hand:

1. Initial Consultation with our Team at REAL ESTATE IN PARK CITY

Call us to share your vision—beds, baths, style, budget. We'll review Park City build costs—hard costs, soft costs, permit fees—so you see every variable up front.

2. Land & Neighborhood Recommendations

Targeted Search: We identify prime Park City neighborhoods—featuring ski run views, Old Town convenience, and Midway acreage—tailored to your lifestyle and investment goals.

Title Introductions: Once you select a buildable lot, we introduce you to top title companies. They confirm:

CC&Rs, design guidelines, and HOA requirements (if applicable).
Clear title—no liens, judgments, or encumbrances.
Easement details or property restrictions.
Site surveys, soil updates, and grading insights for steep terrain.

Cash buyers receive appraisal contacts, so you verify market value before committing.

3. Architect & Builder Introductions

We maintain relationships with Park City’s top architects and custom-home builders. Based on your style and budget, we introduce you to:

Architect Match: Firms specializing in modern mountain contemporary, timber-frame designs, or Sundance-inspired layouts. You'll see initial concepts quickly.
Builder Coordination: Builders known for local luxury projects—permit applications, site prep, and complete construction. Each provides a clear timeline with key milestones.

You meet with your teams to finalize floor plans, materials, and schedules. Derrik & Co. stays your point of contact to ensure smooth introductions.

The Building Process in Park City

Custom home building in Park City happens in phases. Here's what to expect:

Design Phase: The architect translates your vision into plans. Review budget allowances, green options (solar, geothermal, high-efficiency HVAC), and smart-home features (automated lighting, security, climate control).
Permitting & Approvals: We are happy to introduce you to permit expediters who submit applications to Summit County (or Wasatch County for Midway). The builder handles engineering reviews (grading, retaining walls, drainage).
Site Preparation: Builder coordinates grading, foundation, and utilities. Civil engineers ensure proper drainage and stabilization for Park City’s terrain.
Construction & Inspections: Framing, roofing, siding, windows, insulation, and rough-ins. Builders schedule third-party inspections at key milestones (framing, electrical, plumbing, insulation). You’ll receive progress updates and photos.
Finishes & Final Walkthrough: Interiors (cabinets, countertops, flooring, tile, paint, fixtures) and exteriors (landscaping, driveways, decks). You conduct a punch-list walkthrough with your builder.
Move-In & Warranty Support: Builder provides warranty packages. We can schedule follow-ups to confirm everything meets standards. Derrik & Co. stays connected for post-build service referrals.

Throughout the construction process, you'll have regular check-ins with your builder, either via phone call or on-site visit.
