Our Building Process
Our building process is designed to make building a new home as simple and uncomplicated as possible. We strive to make your overall experience pleasant and hassle-free, and one of those is through our standard process. You'll know exactly what to expect next in the steps to building your new home.
Step 1: Pre-Qualify for a Mortgage
The first step to building your new home is to get pre-qualified for a mortgage to determine your budget for the construction. Knowing how much you can afford will also help you in making further decisions and will directly influence the next phase of the process, design.
Step 2: Design
Once you have a budget in place for your project, come meet with us to determine how we can fit your budget. After we've discussed options and variables to find the perfect solution for working within your means, you'll sign an agreement and give an earnest money deposit.
Step 3: Choose Land
Next, you'll need to choose land or find a home site for sale. We'll negotiate the purchase for you, but you'll need to get a commitment letter from a bank appraising the plans and specifications and giving a commitment to lend.
Step 4: Construction
Once the commitment letter is in hand, you'll need to pay any difference from the agreement amount and the commitment letter. You'll go over any final specifications with us, picking out kitchen and flooring options, and we'll start construction.
Step 5: Close
Once the construction is complete, you'll close on your new home. We'll be with you every step of the way to ensure that the process is smooth and stress-free.
