Planning

Building
Make an offer and get a contract.  Once you’ve selected your homesite and floorplan, it’s time to submit an offer and get your sales contract signed and dated. Be sure to include a realtor or lawyer in this part of the process.


Attend walk-throughs and have your home inspected. Plan to attend all walk-through events and have your home inspected to ensure your home is built to your specifications and contract.
