Our Build Process
From first conversation to handing you the keys. Here's exactly how a custom van build works with us.
Our Build Process
Consultation & Discovery
Tell us about your van, your plans, and your budget. We'll talk through options and give you a realistic picture of what's possible.
Design, Quoting & Planning
We'll put together a detailed build plan and quote broken down by system — no surprises, no hidden fees. You approve everything before we start.
Building
Once approved, your van goes into our Costa Mesa shop. We keep you updated throughout the build with photos and progress check-ins.
Systems Testing & Quality Check
Before handoff, we test every system — electrical, plumbing, appliances, ventilation, and fit & finish. Nothing leaves the shop without passing.
Walkthrough & Handoff
We walk you through every system, answer your questions, and hand you the keys to your new adventure rig.
How Pricing Works
Every quote is broken down by system — interior, electrical, plumbing, and exterior. You see exactly where your money is going before we start. No lump-sum mystery pricing.
Our payment structure: a $6,000 deposit secures your build slot. When we're ready to start, you sign the full contract and pay 50% of the total (minus the deposit). At the halfway point, 20% is due. The remaining balance is due at completion and handoff.
Build Timelines
Timelines depend on the scope of your build, not the platform. Here's what to expect:
Basic
6 – 8 weeks
Standard
8 – 12 weeks
Premium
12 – 16+ weeks
