Construction Process

When will my new home be ready?

Watching your home take shape is one of the most exciting parts of purchasing a new home. Our builders’ On-site Superintendent and construction team work together to schedule subcontractors efficiently. At times you may notice a great deal of work going on at once: carpenters, electricians and many others may be busy on your home. At other times there is little observable activity, such as during drywall and taping. If you have questions, speak with your sales consultant. Regardless of activity you can see, important time-sensitive activities do occur throughout the construction process.

Pre-Construction Meeting & Walks

Typically once your home site is permitted and staked, your sales consultant will schedule an appointment for you with the onsite construction superintendent to walk the home site and discuss construction and answer any preliminary questions.

Estimated Completion Date

In the Purchase Agreement, you will find an estimated completion date. This date refers to the date that your new home should be ready for occupancy. This date is our best estimate. In other words, we have anticipated that all activities will flow smoothly without interruption and/or delays. There are many factors that influence the completion of your new home, such as; weather, material deliveries, scheduling conflicts, inspection delays; therefore, the estimate completion date is an estimate and not a firm commitment. Once the construction reaches sheetrock/drywall, a more definitive date for completion will be set, and closing will be scheduled by the sales consultant.

Homebuyer Orientation

A homebuyer orientation of your new home will take place once the home has been completed just prior to closing. Your sales consultant will schedule an appointment for you to meet with the onsite superintendent in your new home, approximately seven to ten days prior to closing. On that day, you can expect to spend approximately one to two hours with your on-site superintendent, inspecting your new home. They will demonstrate its features, and explain the warranty program and guidebook for your one year warranty and 2-10 structural warranty. The superintendent will schedule your final walk through for the day of or day before closing. After this time you should start making calls to arrange for the utilities to be transferred into your name and plan for your move. Your sales consultant will provide you with a list of utility contacts for your convenience, along with a couple of our exclusive opportunities: concierge service and moving truck.
