Contract Signing & Financing
Once your personalized home design is finalized and a purchase price is agreed upon, you’ll submit your plans and pricing proposal to the Lender of your choice for construction financing—or proceed with a cash deposit if preferred. If you haven’t selected a lender yet, we’re happy to provide trusted recommendations from our network of experienced construction loan specialists.

Pre-Construction Meeting
This stage marks the final review of your custom home plans and the confirmation of all design selections. At this point, a smooth and well-coordinated transition will occur from your New Home Sales Specialist to your dedicated Jobsite Superintendent, who will oversee the construction of your new home with precision and care.

Homeowner Orientation
As your new home nears completion, your Jobsite Superintendent will provide a comprehensive walk-through and detailed demonstration of your home’s functional systems. During this tour, you'll review key features, discuss homeowner maintenance responsibilities, and go over warranty coverage to ensure you feel confident and informed before move-in day.
