  Building Process:


"R.J. Taylor Builders, Inc. takes the worry out of building a new custom home. We are there with you every step of the way, through the most exciting decisions of your life. It will be our job to assure you that your custom home will be constructed with quality and care."  -Jo Ann Taylor Vice President

Step 1. Lot Selection:

The three choices available to you are as follows:

A.) Your Lot: We will evaluate your lot to determine; what type of custom home can be built there, what the land will cost to develop with the infrastructure available, and what the state, county, and local laws will require, such as easements, wet lands deed restrictions and other limitations that may effect the building process. 

B.) Our Lot: We have several lots in the Saratoga Springs area that we will walk with you to determine which is best suited for your custom home design.

C.) A Lot For Sale: R.J. Taylor Builders, Inc. may help you in the purchase of a lot for sale that you may find in another location.

D.) Location: R.J. Taylor Builders, Inc. build homes in the following areas but not limited to:

New York in Saratoga Springs, Clifton Park, Wilton, Albany, Glens Falls, Queensbury, Cohoes, Lake George, Galway, Greenfield, Charlton, Malta, Ballston Spa, Half-moon, Latham, and the rest of Saratoga County.

Step 2. Home Design:

This is the most personal step to building a custom home. We will work with you, guiding you towards the custom home design you wish to achieve. We have many custom plans to choose from, but aren't limited to them. We also have Software tools such as Soft Plan, which we can use to redesign a plan you may already have found. Bring us a House plan design that, and we can change the flow of the layout, exterior design, and size of the home to create your own custom home.

Step 3. Mortgage Application & Acceptance:

We have a mortgage broker you can work through, or you can bring your own on board.

Step 4. Permit Application:

The Application of the permit is done by R.J. Taylor Builders, Inc. We are responsible for all of the county requirements on our lots. It usually takes 30-45days to get an approved building permit from the County. (Depending on State Holidays)

Step 5. Permit Approval:

Within 72Hrs. we will begin flagging the lot to be cleared. This is when the scheduling of construction begins. 

Step 6. Ground - Breaking:

After the lot is cleared the home is strategically placed for best southern exposure, and air to light, and the digging begins.

Step 7. County Inspections:

Each step of the building process requires approvals by the County Inspector.

1. Footings
2. Backfill
3. Framing
4. Electrical Rough In
5. Mechanical Rough In
6. Plumbing Rough In
7. Insulation Inspection
8. Final Electrical
9. Final Mechanical
10. Final Plumbing
11. Final C/O Inspection

Step 8. "Use and Occupancy"

Once your custom home is completed and the final building approval is granted by the appropriate county Inspectors the County will issue a "Use and Occupancy Certificate" this certifies your home has passed all Inspections and is ready for you to move in.

Step 9. Warranty Work

We follow the Builders Warranty, which we provide for you at the signing of the contract.

Step 10 Move In

Congratulations! You're moved in to your lavish new custom home within 180 days of the signing of your contract.
