Your homeowner portal is the place to go for status updates on your new home. There, you can track spend, review budgets, and communicate with your project team. Additionally, your project manager will inform you of milestone walkthroughs of your home throughout the construction process.

Each of our home plans includes a list price that covers the architecture, construction management, interior design, landscape architecture and installation, and closing services for the home. It also includes all demo, permit fees, new utilities, and other city-related costs. Any modifications, customizations, and upgrades will fall under a separate Custom Design Budget that you will be able to review and approve before the start of construction.

After construction is complete, your new home will undergo a final inspection by a building inspector to ensure the structure, plumbing, electrical, and HVAC systems meet all building codes. Once approved, a certificate of occupancy (CO) is issued. You and your project manager will do a final walkthrough of the home to confirm everything is as requested and train you on the new home’s systems.

On average, the entire process from start to finish is around 18-24 months. Certain variables can affect timing, such as the design process and customizations, land development, supply of some materials, the city’s permitting process, etc. However, once we pull permits for your new home, it will take approximately 12-14 months to complete construction.
