The Adair Homes 6-Step Process
Through our unique approach to the home building process, Adair Homes makes the experience…simple. We are dedicated to demystifying the custom home building process by breaking down the complexities into manageable parts. You should be able to create the home of your dreams without the typical stress associated with construction.
Here’s an overview of the six key steps Adair Homes takes to help families in Medford bring their visions to life:
Step 1: Initial Meeting
We begin by meeting at a local Adair Homes office. This is where we get to know you, understand your vision, and discuss your ideas. Whether you have a specific design in mind or need inspiration, we’re here to listen and guide you through the options available. We encourage you to share your preferences, lifestyle needs, and any specific features you want in your home with our Home Ownership Counselors—feel free to bring photos, dream boards, Pinterest links and more! This foundational meeting sets the tone for your entire building experience and helps create a lasting partnership.
Step 2: Financing Approval
If you are financing your new home, the next step involves securing financing approval. Our sister company, Basis Home Loans, specializes in construction loans tailored to help our clients achieve their dreams. During this phase, our financing professionals work with you to explore the best options for your financial situation. The bottom line? You need to feel comfortable funding the construction of your new home. Working through the lending options, budgets, and line items isn’t the ‘fun’ part—but rather, the essential step forward.
(If you're paying cash for your new home, you can skip this step and transition directly to land selection.)
Step 3: Find and Secure Land
If you don’t already own property, your next step is to find and secure land. Medford is surrounded by a variety of landscapes, from urban neighborhoods to rural acreage. This is your opportunity to choose a location that aligns with your lifestyle. Are you looking for space to roam? Or a quick commute? Do you want to be within walking distance of a school or outside of the city boundaries? How does land acquisition affect your overall budget?
We’ll introduce you to a Partner Realtor who will work with you to identify suitable properties, taking into account factors such as proximity to schools, parks, and shopping centers to ensure your chosen site fits your lifestyle.
Step 4: Feasibility Study
Once your land is purchased, Adair will conduct a feasibility study, which includes a free site evaluation. Our construction team will review your property, assessing any challenges and opportunities it presents.
This evaluation helps identify important factors, such as drainage, accessibility, utilities, and/or zoning regulations, which can significantly impact your building plans. A thorough feasibility study is your best friend, as it makes certain that your home fits its lot and adheres to local guidelines.
Step 5: Design Meeting
Get ready: the next step is easily the most popular stage of home building. It’s time for the design meeting. We’ll meet at your local Adair Design Center, where our professional design consultants will help you finalize floor plans and customize your home’s layout to meet your needs.
Our Design Centers are full of a wide range of curated features and finishes, including flooring options, countertops, and fixtures, allowing you to create a space that reflects your style. Whether you envision an open-concept living area, a gourmet kitchen, or a luxurious master suite, we weave your personal flair into every aspect of the design.
Step 6: Order Your Home
Now that you’ve chosen and refined your floor plan and selected finishes, you’re ready to order your home. This step marks the culmination of all your efforts, and it’s where your dream truly transforms into reality. After confirming all details, we will draft the necessary agreements and begin the construction process.
As the construction progresses, we maintain open lines of communication: we want you to be involved, excited, and aware of what’s going on. Your construction superintendent will keep you informed every step of the way, providing regular updates and opportunities for you to visit the site. Watching your custom home come to life is an exhilarating experience, and we are excited to be part of this journey with you!

Their experience exemplifies how Adair, their chosen custom home builder in Medford, can transform a vision into reality.

Their thoughtful design showcases the potential flexibility of a single-level plan, while its exterior oozes with curb appeal, blending in perfectly with their surroundings.
- The Hodson family took a different approach by deciding to build a Pines plan on their land.
