Our Process — ICM Homes | Building With Us, Step by Step
Building With ICM

Our Process

An up-front process, start to finish
No Surprises

Straightforward from day one

Building a home is a big decision — the process shouldn’t be a mystery. With ICM Homes you work directly with Aaron, the owner, and you always know where your project stands: transparent communication, accessible pricing, and quality materials from start to finish.

1

The First Conversation

Tell us what you’re picturing — where you want to build, what your budget looks like, and how you live. No pressure, no obligation. This is where we figure out if we’re a fit.

2

Land & Budget

Already own land? We’ll evaluate the site together. Still looking? We can point you in the right direction. Either way, we set a realistic budget before anything gets drawn.

3

Design & Selections

Start from your plan or one of ours, then make it yours — layout, finishes, cabinetry, countertops, flooring. Aaron’s background in the trades means practical guidance on where quality matters most.

4

Proposal & Contract

You get clear, itemized pricing before you sign — accessible pricing is the point. When the numbers work, we lock the plan, the price, and the schedule.

5

Construction

Trusted trade partners Aaron has worked with for years build your home with quality materials. You get regular updates and straight answers throughout — communication is what past clients praise most.

6

Walkthrough & Move-In

We walk the finished home together, room by room, before you close. Then the keys are yours — and Aaron is still a phone call away after move-in.

Common Questions

Good to know

Do you build on my lot?
Yes. ICM builds on client-owned land throughout Minnesota — recent homes sit on private acreage. If you’re still looking for land, we’re happy to talk through what makes a good homesite.
Where do you build?
We’re based in Zimmerman and build throughout Minnesota, with recent homes in Princeton and St. Augusta.
What do you build besides new homes?
Basement finishing and detached garages — finished to the same standard as our new construction.
How does pricing work?
You see clear, itemized pricing before you commit. Aaron’s long-standing trade relationships are how ICM keeps quality finishes at an accessible price.
How do we get started?
Call 612-805-0712 or send a message through the contact page. The first conversation costs nothing and commits you to nothing.
