1

INITIAL CONSULTATION

During this initial meeting with your new home sales consultant you will find the perfect home plan and home site.

2

CONSTRUCTION DEPOSIT AGREEMENT

The pathway to new home ownership begins with an agreement to cover the cost of land development and building construction, usually by securing a construction loan through one of our preferred lenders.

3

STRUCTURAL CHOICES SELECTED

This step involves choosing the main structural components of your new home that need to be identified early on for permitting and your personal Design Studio selections.

5

LOAN APPROVAL

At this point, meet with one of our preferred lenders to put your financing together and obtain final unconditional loan approval.

6

DESIGN STUDIO APPOINTMENT

With the help of one of our professional designers, you will select the items from our 5,000 SF Design Studio that makes the home uniquely yours.

7

PERSONAL CHOICES AND SELECTIONS FINALIZED

At this point, all of your structural and personal selections are locked in and we prepare for the construction of your new home.

8

PURCHASE AGREEMENT

The pathway continues with the signing of a purchase agreement and other important documents. You and your sales consultant must sign all forms and attachments for the agreement to be binding.

9

PERMITTING PROCESS

Our in-house permitting department will finalize your structural choices and submit and obtain the building permit so we can begin construction on your home!

11

PRE-CONSTRUCTION ORIENTATION

This is your opportunity to meet with the construction supervisor and learn about the process and timeline of building your new home.

12

CONSTRUCTION BEGINS

Your home will officially start construction with site preparation and the pouring of the foundation.

13

PRE-DRYWALL ORIENTATION

As building continues, you are taken on a tour of the inner workings of your home. Bring a camera!

14

NEW HOME ORIENTATION

Once your new home is complete, we will demonstrate how to care for it and how your warranty will protect your investment.

15

CLOSING

To complete the process of transferring the home into your name, you will meet with your escrow officer and sign your loan documents. The loan will then be funded, and the county will record the title.

16

FINAL SIGN-OFF AND KEY DELIVERY

Meet with our customer care representative for the final sign off of your new home and receipt of your keys.

17

60-DAY CHECK UP

One of our customer care representatives will check in with you to identify and correct any warranty issues discovered after you move in.

18

11-MONTH FINAL REVIEW

With this step, we plan a last check in of the home to address small issues and educate you on the remainder of your home’s warranty.
