Our Process as a Custom Home Builder in Naples

 

Meet Select Development Group

Rooted in the craft of fine construction and shaped by decades of hands-on experience, Select Development Group brings a refined and practical approach to building in Naples, FL. Led by a team with deep ties to the Gulf Coast and a reputation for craftsmanship, they’ve earned their reputation as a trusted partner for clients seeking high-end residential, commercial, and renovation projects. The company’s leadership brings backgrounds in architecture, real estate, and luxury construction, with a shared belief in tasteful and collaborative execution.

Their portfolio spans modern waterfront homes, full-scale custom remodels, commercial tenant improvements, and luxury condo renovations across Naples’ most sought-after communities. Each project reflects a sharp understanding of form, function, and Florida’s distinct building demands.

The Process

Every custom home, remodel, and commercial build begins with you and your vision. As a trusted custom home builder in Naples, our process reflects the values that matter most: communication, craftsmanship, and accountability. Whether you’re building from the ground up, renovating your condo, or updating a commercial space, our step-by-step approach is the backbone of every project.

From the very first conversation, our team remains hands-on and fully invested. We commit to your vision and the outcome, applying hard-earned expertise and our passion for collaboration to deliver a final product we’re all proud of.

Guiding our approach is clear communication, excellent work, and zero guesswork. You’ll always know what’s happening, why it matters, and how it moves you closer to the home or business you’re building.

Step 1: Discovery & Consultation

Your dream, our priority.

We start with a conversation to find the intersection of your vision, lifestyle, and what the space needs to do for you. 

You share what you’re building, why you’re building it, and what success looks like. We listen, ask questions, and help you clarify your goals. Once we understand the full picture including budget, timeline, and must-haves, we can move forward with purpose. 
At this stage, we also assess feasibility: site conditions, zoning requirements, HOA guidelines, and your desired timeline. Backed with research, we can create a smart strategy from the start. Our leadership team remains involved throughout the entire project, whether it’s a custom remodel in Naples, a new luxury home, or a commercial development.

Step 2: Design & Pre-Construction Planning

Building the roadmap to success.

Now we dig into the details. If you’re already working with a design team, we integrate quickly. If not, we can help you connect with the right architects and designers. During this phase, we lay the groundwork for success by developing your project’s full scope, including materials, finishes, and fixtures.

We review plans, run feasibility checks, confirm zoning, and coordinate early-stage logistics. We also establish a realistic budget and schedule based on current conditions and scope. For you to end up with the most value for your investment, we make high-impact choices around engineering and careful planning.

As a full-service general contractor in Naples FL, we also handle the permit process, coordinate with building officials, and prepare everything for a smooth transition into the next phase—construction.

Step 3: Proposal & Budget Review

Total transparency, total confidence.

You’ll get a full breakdown of costs, line by line. Because transparency is one of our core operating principles, we itemize pricing and include every detail so there are no surprises down the road.

The proposal includes materials, labor, subcontractors, timelines, and projected start dates. We’ll talk through each section so you know what’s included and what’s optional.

Our clients benefit from long-standing vendor relationships and a vetted network of subcontractors, which helps us secure competitive pricing without compromising quality. Whether you prefer a fixed-cost or cost-plus contract, we’ll help you choose the best option for your project.

All financial updates are available through Buildertrend, our project management platform, and we schedule regular check-ins to keep everything on track.

Step 4: Construction Execution

Turning vision into reality.

When it’s time to break ground, our dedicated construction team, led by your project manager and superintendent, takes the reins. Every build is executed by skilled professionals who take pride in their work.

As a leading name and custom home builder in Naples, we lead projects with daily oversight and regular site inspections to maintain the highest standards of quality, safety, and efficiency.

You’re regularly informed with updates and invitations to come on-site and see your project evolve in real time. When building a custom home or planning luxury renovations in Naples, this level of communication is crucial.

It’s during this phase where most stress shows up, but it’s when we stay sharpest. We work clean, stay on schedule, and make space for flexibility without letting things unravel.

Step 5: Client Collaboration

Where expertise meets artistry.

When things shift, we’re responsive. You might change your mind about a finish, or need to adjust a feature. That’s normal and expected.

We keep the door open for these conversations without slowing down the pace. If you have a request to change something or we encounter an unexpected obstacle, we’ll provide you with options, honest feedback, and a path forward.

Step 6: Quality Assurance & Final Walkthrough

Elevating every detail.

As your project nears completion, we get more detailed. Every surface, seam, and system is checked. We bring in licensed inspectors where needed and run our own internal quality checks as well.

Because we remained attentive throughout, the punch list only shortens and the final walkthrough doesn’t drag on. Together, we make sure every last feature meets our standards and yours.

Our final walkthrough gives you the opportunity to explore your completed space, ask questions, and confirm every detail is exactly how you envisioned it. This is the moment everything comes together for your whole house remodel, a high-end home construction project, or commercial build.

Step 7: Post-Project Support

Our commitment continues.

Our work isn’t finished when the dust settles. We stay in the picture after you’re handed the keys. 

Whether you have questions about systems, want to explore future upgrades, or need support for maintenance or warranties, our team is just a call away. We want your home or business to perform beautifully for years to come—and we’ll be here to support it.

Who We Work With

In addition to custom homes and remodels, we’re also a commercial builder in Naples. Clients bring us in for home renovations, commercial construction, custom remodels, and complex additions.

We work with developers, architects, and homeowners, sometimes from day one and sometimes midway through a plan that needs new energy. No matter where we enter, we bring steady leadership and organized execution.

I’m still in the planning stage—should I reach out now or wait?

Don’t wait. Even if you’re just gathering ideas, we can be a resource early on. Whether you already have an architect or haven’t hired anyone yet, we’ll help you think through next steps, make smart decisions, and start shaping a real plan. Getting involved early helps us help you avoid headaches later.

How involved do I need to be during the process?

We welcome your input but never expect you to manage the job. We handle scheduling, materials, permits, and coordination. You’re kept in the loop with consistent updates, access to progress photos, and one main point of contact. Some clients want to be hands-on, others prefer a turnkey experience—we’re comfortable with both.

Can you help with design, or should I hire someone else first?

We provide general contracting services in Naples which means working with some of the best architects and interior designers in the area, and we’re happy to connect you. If you already have a design team, we’ll coordinate with them. Our job is to keep everything aligned, so that ideas on paper become the finished space you imagined.

What if we hit delays or unexpected issues during construction?

It happens. Materials backorder or weather gets in the way. What matters is how we respond: fast communication, clear options, and a plan to keep things moving.

Do you take on smaller projects, or just full builds?

We handle fully custom homes, yes, but also take on high-end remodels, condo renovations, and boutique commercial spaces. If it’s a project that needs careful execution and a sharp eye, we’re interested. Reach out and let’s talk about what you have in mind.
