Acadian Residential Contractors

Our Design & Build Process

Our custom home building skills have been refined over many years to give understanding and control to you, our client, throughout the process.

We encourage our clients to gather their ‘building team’ from the start of the project—architect or draftsmen, interior designer if you choose to use one, lender and builder – so that all understand your key criteria for the home, your needs and desires, as well as your budget. With careful upfront planning, we strive to avoid surprises, and set backs. This coordinated approach makes for a smoother and more rewarding experience.

Homesites, Plans and Financing

If you have not selected your homesite, we can help you find the right piece of property, and evaluate if it’s suitable for your desired home. Location, views, size, elevation, easements and setbacks are all considerations in choosing a homesite.

Choosing or designing the right plan…….. We have many plans for you to choose from. If you find an existing plan that works for you, we can estimate the cost. If you choose to design a completely custom home, we can estimate the cost after the conceptual drawings have been completed. We will go through the bidding process to ensure that costs are kept as low as possible.

We have strong relationships with Preferred Lenders that can provide homesite loans, construction loans and the final mortgages.

Construction

Once your design plans are completed, approved and permitted, your Acadian Residential Contractors construction manager, will have a final kick-off meeting with you prior to groundbreaking. He will then coordinate and supervise the activities for the project. Regular meetings and jobsite visits will be scheduled with you.

Prior to move-in, the construction manager will perform a final walk-through with you, the client.

Standard Features of a Pelican Point Home

What's Included in an Acadian Residential Construction Home?

We pride ourselves on having a complete set of standard features, so clients know exactly what they are getting in the base price of their home. Since 1975, we have been perfecting our building process and we've included a lot of great standard features in our homes, such as energy efficiency, name brand materials and quality construction.

When it comes to value, you won't find another builder who can offer this much square footage for the price. We are using industry leading brands, and every home is backed by The Louisiana New Home Warranty.

Peace of mind about the products, process and warranty are all standard features. The beauty is this is a starting point.

2X4 Premium Wall Studs

We are one of the few select builders in the nation that uses Premium wall studs as a standard. Premium wall studs contain less moisture which results in less twisting and warping and contributes to a better drywall job.

The standard fiber cement board lap siding is durable and finished with your choice of Sherwin Williams paint color.

Ceramic Tile

Your custom home includes level 1 ceramic tile in your kitchen, foyer, laundry and all baths. (Wood flooring is also an option.)
