Our Story

The Prestigious Milton, GA

Milton is one of Metro Atlanta’s most sought after cities. The equestrian aspect deserves a mention even if that is not your cup of tea, as you drive around you cant help but appreciate the beautiful properties that support the stunning horses of this town. Lot styles consist of HOA governed Country Clubs, redevelopment lots in existing neighborhoods, and for those looking for the ultimate in privacy there is still the occasional estate lot to be found. Zoning in Milton requires lot sizes to be a minimum of 1 acre, but its not uncommon to find larger.

Milton Can easily support $3mm - $8mm+ construction budgets.

2. Finding a Builder

The builder is the cornerstone of your custom home journey. They must have your complete trust, and you must enjoy working with them for the next couple years. Make sure they can offer you references both financial and customer, have a proven track record, and the ability to assemble a team of professionals that will deliver your project successfully. We here at ADG are confident we can deliver on all these items. See our blog post on questions to ask your protentional custom home builder.

3. Design & Preconstruction

Before construction can start, you must get through the design and permitting phase. We prefer working with our clients and guiding them through the design phase. This not only helps with time management, but we are also able to provide rough budgetary guidance earlier in the process to help avoid over budget designs.

Design consists of several sub categories:

  • Site, and septic design

  • Architectural Plans

  • Structural Engineering

  • Interior Design

Other Preconstruction activities include:

  • Permitting. Building and septic. Larger lots will also require a Land Disturbance Permit. Read more about City of Milton Permitting requirements. Please note Milton has gotten very strict in recent years, a good team is critical to navigating the permitting process for your new home.

  • HOA Approval - Milton varies if you will be dealing with an HOA or not. All Country Clubs will have a Strict HOA with Design Guidelines and a formal Builder approval process. ADG is an approved builder at the Manor Golf and Country Club, so this a process we are used to navigating. Its best to familiarize your self with any HOA requirements that may impact the style, size or function of your new home prior to closing on the lot.

  • Budgeting. Selections and allowances are defined. The more detail, the better here. We recommend spending as much time as you can up front to define every selection possible. This will make your budget accurate as possible from the start. We recommended those with budgets over $2mm to have a design and selections 100% complete prior to starting construction. The ADG team holds your hand the entire way.

  • Funding. Most home owners that seek financing for their custom home use what banks call and Construction to Permanent Loan (CP Loan). Read more about CP Loans in our blog post here.
