Selections - Make them early

We have our customers make the vast majority
of their decisions BEFORE we break ground on
building their home.

Why do we do that? A couple of reasons and they all
benefit the customer.

First, we believe that when you build a home you should Build with Confidence.

A big part of feeling confident when building a home is knowing the cost of the home. If you make your selections before you break ground on your home, you will have a very good indication of the final cost of your home. If you have to adjust the cost of the home at this point you can do so very easily. Breaking ground knowing that you can afford your dream is a great feeling.

Second, it is normal to be over on one item, say lights, and be under on another, say tile, or vice versa. When you make your selections early and this situation occurs you can adjust. You can have that extra ceiling fan you wanted because of the offset in the tile budget. Hurray!

Third, when you make your decisions early in a coordinated fashion there is greater consistency in your decisions. What this means is that you won't go "now what did I decide about that". The memory will be fresh and will have a positive influence on your other decisions.

Fourth, when the building process starts it moves quickly. There are few if any quiet days. When you make your selections up front, you will not be under time pressures. You eliminate emergency decisions.

I really could have have turned this into a "Top Ten list of Why's" but I won't.

Please know that making your decisions early does not delay the construction process. Most of the decisions occur during the time the bank is processing your loan.

Building a home is a fun experience. Our interior designer is there to help make the selection process smooth and enjoyable. (There I go again, trying to make this fun!)

Have fun. Build with Confidence!
