Production – Phase 2

Let’s be honest, permitting was all about rules and regulations. Production is a little more fun than that! Up to this point you’ve only picked out the model, roof style, deck, and some of the general package options. Now you get the freedom to make the house look like what you want!

After your permits have been issued, we will call you to come in for a pre-production meeting. This meeting takes 2 – 3 hours and finalizes all the details of your home build, like paint colors, trim design, and countertops. Here’s an idea of what to expect:

Pre-Production Review Meeting Agenda

  • Check In, 5 Minutes
  • Idea Tour if needed, 15 Minutes
  • Initial Expectations, 5 Minutes
  • Pricing & Options – House, 30 Minutes (Options Book)
  • Finish Schedule, 30 Minutes
  • Permitting, 10 Minutes
  • Change orders, if necessary, 10 Minutes
  • D&S – Deck and Size, 5 Minutes
  • Receive Production Deposit, 10 Minutes
  • Introduce Production Manager, 5 Minutes

At the end of this meeting, we would ask for the 3rd payment in our process – the 25% Production Deposit. Our planning team then creates a production binder with all the floor plans and specs for your build. When your production date comes up, your house build will begin, and you’ll get an email letting you know that your home production has started in Stage 1.

We have 6 stages in our production line. Each stage has a designated Foreman and team that specializes in their craft. Our goal for a house is to spend just 3 days in each stage, which is how we can have a house built in 1 month.

When your house is finished, you will receive an email letting you know the build is complete. At this time, Payment 4 – the 75% Production Closeout payment will be needed.
