A refined process, from land to legacy

One experienced team beside you from the first idea to the day you move in, and for years after.

Bring us in before the plans are drawn

Part of what makes Parmenter Homes the premier luxury builder on Lake Chelan and across North Central Washington is that we do far more than build. Our team is beside you at every step, from the first vision and the search for land through design, construction and years of care after you move in.

That is why the best time to call us is before you have a lot or a set of plans. The earlier we are involved, the more value we bring to your home.

Eight steps to your home

  1. Land & Lot Acquisition

    Our long-standing relationships with local real estate professionals help you find the right lot, and our team makes sure it truly suits your plans. We confirm feasibility by bringing in consultants such as soil and pool engineers, flying a drone to verify the views, and reviewing city restrictions, easements and more.

  2. Home Design

    Over the years we have built close working relationships with North Central Washington's premier architects and interior designers. We introduce you to the best fit for your style and needs, then collaborate closely with your architect on a home that meets your goals for function, design and cost.

  3. Specifications Development

    The details are what separate an extraordinary home from an ordinary one. Your Project Coordinator prepares a comprehensive Specifications Book cataloging every component of your home, from plumbing fixtures, cabinetry and appliances to finish carpentry and paint colors.

  4. Budget & Schedule Development

    Your Project Coordinator gathers subcontractor and vendor bids based on your approved Specifications Book and confirms the overall budget. Once the permit is issued, you receive a Decision Deadline Schedule that keeps every choice manageable and the build on track.

  5. Project Management

    With a full-time staff, your project never rests on one person's shoulders. Our team manages scheduling in Buildertrend, so you can see exactly where things stand, and tracks every expense with detailed monthly billing.

  6. Home Construction

    Parmenter Homes is a white-glove builder. We are the single point of contact for every subcontractor, consultant, vendor and inspector, and we resolve issues as they arise. Your Project Manager is on site daily, ensuring all work meets your specifications with the finest materials and methods.

  7. Project Completion

    Close-out begins with a thorough inspection of your new home. Todd Parmenter then joins you and your Project Manager for a detailed walkthrough to compile the final punch list. At move-in, you receive a Comprehensive Close-Out Package with your contracts, invoices, releases, city documents, manuals and warranties, along with a photographic record of the build.

  8. Ongoing Care

    Your relationship with Parmenter Homes continues well past move-in day. A home of this caliber deserves careful, ongoing maintenance, just as a fine car does. That is the purpose of Parmenter Home Services, our preventative maintenance program.
