Your Vision, Fully Realized: The AR Homes® Bluffton Customization Process

By Rhett Meeks:

For those considering a custom luxury home in Bluffton, AR Homes® Bluffton (Blue Ocean Luxury Homes) offers a design process centered on creativity, precision, and transparency. Our approach balances architectural freedom with fixed-price confidence, giving you the ability to personalize your home while planning your investment with clarity. 

Start With a Plan or Begin From Scratch 

No two families live the same way. That’s why our Personal Floorplan Service allows you to tailor an existing design or create one from the ground up with our in-house architectural team. With a design deposit, you’ll receive a custom floorplan and exterior elevation, a lot fit to show how the home will sit on your property, a furniture fit plan for flow and comfort, and a personal Zoom session with an architectural designer. If you already have a third-party architect, we can provide a detailed bid with the same accuracy and care. 

A Clear Path With Design Packages 

Our process begins with a Design Agreement and a $5,000 Design Deposit, which secures time with our team and outlines deliverables. Packages can be customized to include architectural plans, 3D interior renderings, full walkthroughs, and four-sided exterior views. If you choose to build, the design deposit is credited toward your contract. 

Fixed-Cost Confidence 

Unlike traditional builders who rely on allowances, we provide precise cost estimates based on your actual selections. Once your contract is signed, your price remains fixed unless you choose to make changes. This approach gives homeowners peace of mind and eliminates guesswork. 

Interior Design Made Simple 

Selections take place in our local Design Studio, where a professional designer guides you through cabinetry, countertops, flooring, fixtures, and finishes. The process is focused and efficient, ensuring every choice complements your vision. 

Built on Trust 

Throughout construction, our customer portal provides access to progress updates, selections, and communication in one place. With architect-designed plans, transparent pricing, and professional design guidance, AR Homes® Bluffton (Blue Ocean Luxury Homes) delivers a custom homebuilding experience rooted in trust and precision.
