Building Your Custom Forever Home in Knoxville, TN
When I meet with clients for the first time, they often tell me they feel overwhelmed by the idea of building a custom home. They ask questions like, “Where do I even start?” and, “How do I make sure this is done right?” Those are the questions I love answering because that’s exactly what I’m here for.
If you’ve ever thought about building your dream home in Knoxville, TN, let me walk you through the process. I promise, it’s not as overwhelming as it seems—especially when you have a team like ours to guide you.
Why Build a Custom Home in Knoxville?
But no two families are alike, which is why I believe your home should be as unique as you are. Building a custom home allows you to create a space that fits your lifestyle perfectly. Maybe you want an open kitchen for hosting family gatherings, a spacious workshop for your hobbies, or energy-efficient features to save on utility bills. Whatever your vision, my team and I at Blass Construction are here to make it happen.
Our Process for Building Custom Homes
Building a home isn’t just about construction—it’s about trust.
That’s why I’m involved in every step of the process.
Let me give you an idea of what it’s like to build your custom home with Blass Construction & Roofing:
Finding Your Lot
The first thing we’ll do is figure out where you want to build. Location is everything, whether you want to be close to schools, near work, or just a short drive from your favorite Target (trust me, I’ve had that request before). East Tennessee has so much to offer, and I’ll guide you through finding a lot that fits your needs and budget.
Designing Your Home
Once we know where your home will be, it’s time to talk about the design. Some clients come to me with a rough idea of what they want, while others have no clue where to start. Either way, we’ll work together to create the perfect plan.
Architect-Designed Plans: I work closely with local architects who can design a home that’s tailored to your vision and maximizes the use of your lot. From large walk-in closets to open-concept layouts, an architect can turn your ideas into a detailed plan.
Pre-Made Plans: If you’ve purchased plans online, no problem. I’ll help you adapt them to meet your needs and ensure they comply with local codes and regulations.
Budget is always top of mind during this phase. We’ll balance your wishlist with your budget to make sure you get the home you want at a price you’re comfortable with.
Permits and Inspections
Dealing with permits and inspections can feel like navigating a maze, but that’s what our team does every day. From septic permits in rural areas to energy inspections in the city, we handle all the paperwork and scheduling so you don’t have to. This ensures your home is built safely and up to code, without unnecessary delays.
Construction
This is where the magic happens. Once the lot is prepped and the foundation is poured, your dream home starts to take shape. From framing and rough-ins (electrical, plumbing, HVAC) to insulation, drywall, and finishes, Blass makes sure every step is done with precision and care.
One thing I’m particularly proud of is how we communicate with homeowners throughout the process. You’ll always know what’s happening and what to expect next. Whether it’s scheduling inspections or choosing finishes, I’m just a phone call away to answer your questions.
The Finishing Touches
The final stages are my favorite part of the process. This is when your house truly becomes a home. We install cabinets, paint walls, and lay flooring. We even help with landscaping and driveways. By the time we’re done, your home will be move-in ready and exactly as you envisioned it.
