HOW IT WORKS

  • Contract

    Meet with our Sales Professional to identify the right floor plan, discuss budgetary pricing, sign a contract and submit a deposit

  • Plan Modifications

    Meet with the designer to review plans, make some initial material selections, and start discussing interior design.

    (pricing update provided if needed)

  • Selections

    After the plans are complete, you'll make selections with our suppliers, working within cost allowances

  • Pricing

    After all your selections are made, plans are complete, and the conditions of the lot are understood, we can calculate a final cost to build.

  • Approvals

    When the selections and pricing are complete, you'll sign a final addendum and submit an additional deposit. Then we’ll apply for a permit to build.

  • Permitting

    As soon as the permit application is approved, your home is added to the queue and we start construction as soon as possible!

  • Breaking Ground

    You’ll meet the PM, discuss construction expectations, and we will start building.

  • Pre-Drywall Walk Through

    About mid-way through the build you will have a formal meeting on site to check out the framed spaces before it gets sealed up with insulation and drywall

  • Orientation & Closing!

    Finally, around the time of completion we'll walk you through and demonstrate the features of your new home to you!

You bring the ideas, let us do the heavy lifting.
