01
Evaluate before purchase
BCG can join the conversation before a property is purchased, helping the owner and design team identify visible constraints, questions that need professional study, and likely cost implications before assumptions harden.
Build On Your Lot
The land comes first.
BCG builds custom homes throughout Greater Baton Rouge, whether the property is in a featured community, already owned by the client, or still being considered.
Privately owned property
A custom home should belong to its site.
The communities featured on this website represent neighborhoods BCG knows well. They are not the limits of where BCG works.
Private land brings its own opportunities and responsibilities. The strongest work begins by understanding the property before the plan, budget, and schedule become fixed.
Before purchase or design
Feasibility begins with better questions.
A site visit is not a substitute for a survey, engineering, flood information, or geotechnical work. It can identify which questions deserve answers before the owner commits to a property or design direction.
Site study
02
Survey, setbacks + zoning
Boundary, elevation, easement, setback, and zoning information establishes the actual area available for architecture, access, drainage, and outdoor space.
03
Utilities + site access
Water, sewer or septic, electrical service, gas, drive approach, construction access, staging, and delivery routes affect both feasibility and early budgeting.
04
Drainage + flood considerations
Existing grades, stormwater movement, flood information, finished-floor elevation, and neighboring properties must be understood before the house and landscape are placed.
05
Soils + geotechnical questions
Foundation strategy should respond to verified site conditions. When appropriate, BCG coordinates geotechnical information with the architect and engineer.
06
Trees + site protection
Mature trees can define the character of a property. Their root zones, canopy, protection during construction, and relationship to grading deserve early study.
From land to home
Planning, design, construction, and care.
Early builder involvement
Early coordination helps test the relationship between land, architecture, construction approach, preliminary budget, and schedule while the design remains flexible.
Site-specific architecture
Orientation, sun, shade, views, privacy, approach, prevailing weather, topography, and existing vegetation should shape the plan rather than be corrected after it.
Architect + design team
BCG works with the client’s architect, interior designer, landscape architect, engineers, and specialty consultants to align design intent with constructability.
Preconstruction + budgeting
Site work, utilities, foundations, access, procurement, materials, and building systems are developed into a clearer scope and preliminary construction budget.
Construction
Site logistics, drainage, protection, quality control, documentation, and trade coordination continue through the work, with attention to both visible finishes and concealed assemblies.
Long-term stewardship
Closeout, warranty guidance, maintenance planning, and Concierge Home Services help owners care for the property after construction is complete.
