Five Things To Remember

1. Make a "Wish List." Organize the features you want in your new home in three categories:

     • Must Have (Things you really need like extra bedrooms, walk-in closets, covered front         porches, oversized master bath, etc)

     • Wouldn't It Be Nice (Swimming Pool, Mother-In-Law Suite)

     • No Way (Here you may want to include building and finishing materials you don't like and         architectural styles that don't appeal to you.

     • Site Plans If you already own your lot, you may want to include things like how the home should be oriented and trees to save).

2. Keep Your Enjoyment At The Top Of The List. In finalizing your list of features, make sure you don't eliminate the things that will give you the most enjoyment.

3. Think Location First. Make sure you find the right location for your new home: in the neighborhood you like, close to the amenities that fit your lifestyle.

4. The Construction Process. Talk with us and set your standards for involvement in the construction process. Do you really want to be involved in every detail, or do you want regularly scheduled meetings with us to review progress. We're here to consult with you at every step in the process. However, we'll always remember that the final decision is yours.

5. Setting Timetables. We'll provide you with timetables for final decisions on any specifications not decided upon during the design process. For example, if the color of the carpet was not decided in advance, we'll set a date for you to make that decision so your new home construction stays on time and within budget.
