If one of out pre-designed plans is perfect, we're ready to move on if not... 3 Simple Transaction Let's take your favorite homesite off the market with a simple earnest money contract. 4 Begin Design Process Sit with your sales counselor to design the house that you want. We will begin with simple questions like: Where do you want your Kitchen in your house? In the center wrapped by living areas or situated in one of the corners? Front or back? How many bedrooms do you want? What size? How about living areas: one, two, three, or more? What are you putting into them? The pictures of plans you see on this website are of many versions of the listed floor plans. Sometimes exactly like our base plan, sometimes modified. We allow full customization with some limits and we have yet to sell and build the same home exactly twice. However, the pictures are of that home with customer modifications that may or may not be included in the home you purchase. Our special computer aided design software can place your furniture to make sure it fits and allows for walk space. We will keep your budget in mind and give you feedback on what it all costs. 5 Floor Plan Produced Your plan will be produced. You will be responsible for the design fees if you choose not to go forward. The plan will be designed for you to build with us, not another builder so the design remains in our possession. If you are modifying one of our plans (this is what most people do) then we will produce a full set of working drawings. If this is a completely new plan, we will present a sketch to you to make sure we are on the right track then go to working prints. 6 Mortgage Discussion During your design process we will ask you to complete your full mortgage application. 7 Meet with Decorator Once we have your plan complete, you will select your decoration at our off-site design studio. You will meet with our decorator at a specified time to complete the design process. 8 Sign Off As soon as your working drawing is complete and fully priced, you will sit down with your sales counselor to sign off on the plans and all change orders. 9 Acquire Permits We will submit documentation for a city building permit. 10 Set up the construction loan Once the appraisal comes back with a value, we will submit your mortgage information, plans, specifications and change orders to a bank that will set up the construction loan. 11 Produce legal documents The bank sets up the construction loan by reviewing the information that we and your mortgage company send to them. Then they send instructions to an attorney to produce legal documents required by the bank. 12 Ensure Legal Title The legal documents are sent to the title company who ensures the legal title and interim construction loan settlement statement. 13 Meet Your Builder After you have signed off your plans and change orders, you and your sales counselor will schedule a time for you to meet your builder. You will then discuss final placement of your home. Remember, moving your home from our standard set back will result in a charge. 14 Start Interim Closing Process The interim closing takes place and construction can begin. Many of our buyers choose to be on the interim note (there are many advantages). If the company will provide you with the closing process before you go to the title company to sign the necessary documents, then we will have the go ahead to start your home. 15 We will start your home Your home will be started as soon as we can get the crews slotted to begin. 16 Watch Your Home Get Built The real fun now begins. You will be able to watch your custom home be built before your eyes. We schedule specific times for you to come out and review the process with us. At the home placement When the framing and planning is complete, then the electrical, heating and air are installed Before we put your final selections in, we will meet one more time prior to final walk through Complete final walk through 17 Final Closing Final closing at the title company. This is where the home becomes yours. Any items needing further correction will be included in the closing package.
