We have outlined the typical homebuyer involvement in the building process to help clarify the sequence of events and homebuyers time commitments.

Discovery Phase: Lot selection, home design and budgeting

Detail your needs and develop a wish list.

1. Lot Selection:
• What community do you want to live in?
• What type of lot? City, acreage, walkout, etc.
• What price range? Typically lot price should be ¼ of total house package.
• Research development covenants
2. Home Design and Character:

• We will work from any plans and pictures you have.
• Size and square footage of home.
