Know the real number before you sign to build.
Most budgets go wrong before the first shovel hits the dirt: a ballpark price, then surprises once the plans and selections catch up. We do that work first, in about 4 to 6 weeks.
Preconstruction is also where we both find out if we are the right match. If you go ahead, your preconstruction fee is credited toward your build.
We price the site work up front: well, septic, utilities, driveway, clearing.
Our designer and drafter fit the plan to your lot and the way you live.
Room by room, so nothing is left to decide mid-build.
From real trade pricing, not a per-square-foot guess.
Ready for permits and for the build contract.
Each phase is checked before the next one starts.
Most homes are finished about 25 weeks after the foundation is complete. Gold tags show when a payment is due.

Your lender inspects each stage and releases the draw. We coordinate the inspections with them.
Paying cash
You follow the same stages, paying as each one is finished.
Protect your payments
We will never send or change our bank details by email or text. Before any wire, call us at (229) 561-7619 to confirm.
Your exact schedule is written into your construction contract; if anything here differs, the contract governs.
We do not disappear at closing.
Home orientation
We walk you through every system and feature before you get the keys.
2-2-10 warranty
Third-party coverage on every home we build: 2 years on workmanship and finishes, 2 years on plumbing, electrical and ductwork, and 10 years on the structure: foundation, framing, beams and load-bearing walls. Full terms are in your warranty booklet.
11-month check-up
We come back before your first year is up to check the house with you.
