Step 1
If you have a community in mind, let us help you choice and find the best homesite that fits your needs. If one of our pre-designed plans is perfect, we're ready to move forward. However, if you would like something a little more customized, we can help you with that as well.
Step 2
Let's take your favorite homesite off the market with a simple earnest money contract. While your design process is being worked on, we will ask you to complete your full mortgage application. This will help us keep you within your budget.
Step 3
Then you will sit with your sales agent/counselor to design the house that you want. We will begin with simple questions like: Where and How would you like your kitchen to look in your new home? 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? With your furniture diminution and our design software we can place your furniture to make sure it fits and it allows for your walk space. We will keep your budget in mind and give you feedback on all costs.
Step 4
Once your plan is produced. You will be responsible for the design fees if you choose not to move forward. The plan will be designed for you to build with us, not another builder so the design remains in our possession. However, if you are modifying one of our plans (this is the most common and 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 continue moving forward with working prints.
Step 5
Once we have your plan complete, you will select your decoration and you will meet with our decorator at a specified time to complete the design process. 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.
Step 6
We will submit documentation for a city/county building permit.
Step 7
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.
Step 8
Once 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.
