Our Process
Initial Contact
Your First Conversation with CB Built
Clients reach us by phone, website, text, referral, or email — and get a same-day call back directly from our team.
We start with a low-pressure conversation about goals, budget, timeline, and land. We then schedule a free in-person meeting to review ideas and ensure we’re the right fit for each other.
Clients choose CB Built early because we help with far more than building, we’ll also help guide design, budgeting, land decisions, and financing guidance if the client desires.
Call 406-366-2830 to get started.
Pre-Construction Planning
Planning, Design & Budgeting
Already have plans?
We begin detailed estimating, value engineering, and design guidance. Real pricing is built using our in-house estimating system + subcontractor bids.
Need plans?
We coordinate design with our trusted architect (or yours) to fit your goals, land, and budget.
Need land?
We help clients find property and design a home around the site. Pre-construction includes full guidance, budgeting, early selections, and a detailed project roadmap.
Typical timeline: 1–6 months, depending on scope.
Final Pricing, Contract, and Scheduling
Final Pricing & Project Scheduling
We present a line-by-line cost breakdown in person — transparent, clear, no hidden margins.
We offer flexible contract types and tailor them to the client.
A small deposit locks in the project, and we provide estimated start and completion dates.
Our organization and proactive scheduling are key reasons our builds finish faster than many Montana builders.
Construction
Building Your Home
We begin with site prep and move into full construction with strong momentum. Because we manage the schedule full-time, not from the jobsite swinging a hammer, we keep subcontractors moving efficiently and avoid downtime.
Clients receive daily communication and are involved in walkthroughs for:
Exterior Selections
Interior Trim Details
Electrical layouts
Interior finishes
Most selections are finalized early so the project stays streamlined. Our clients consistently describe our builds as fast, organized, and easy.
Final Walkthrough & Move In
Final Walkthrough & Move-In
We complete our own punch list before the client walkthrough.
Together we review all systems, finishes, and expectations — then correct any remaining items.
On move-in day, we hand over keys in person and provide a full homeowner binder with manuals, selections, and warranty info.
We usually include a small gift as a thank-you.
A 30-day check-in ensures everything is performing smoothly.
Warranty & Ongoing Support
Warranty & Ongoing Support
Every CB Built home includes a full 1-year warranty, with direct access to us the entire time.
We check in again near month 11 to wrap up any warranty items.
Our clients keep our number forever — we remain a long-term partner, not a builder who disappears after move-in.
