Below we've broken down some of the steps toward building your new home. We understand that this is a completely new area for many people and can be
somewhat overwhelming. However, as with anything new, once you understand how to get started, and the basics of how things work, you’ll see the
process isn't difficult at all. In fact, building your new home will be an exciting and rewarding process!
Step 1 – Secure Financing
If you haven’t already met with a personal banker to discuss your pre-approval and pricing options, this is a good place to start. Once you have these
numbers in mind, choosing a plan that fits within your price range becomes much easier. In most cases, the financing is almost always carried by the
homeowner. In this way, customers can have complete oversight into each cost on their house. We can work with your bank, or can recommend one from
past satisfied customers.
Step 2 – Choose Your Site
Some customers come to us with a lot or land they’ve already purchased or are in the process of buying. And other customers come to us to help them find
a site to build on from the many lots we have available, or know of. Either way, C&M Properties and Construction Inc. will come out to the proposed
site and meet with you to discuss and offer placement suggestions for the building, as well as to go over the beginning site work.
Step 3 – Finding a House Plan
You may already have an exact blue print of the house you want to build, or perhaps just a few pictures of things you like or some ideas but you aren’t
sure exactly what you are looking for. We can show you hundreds of plans and go over any changes you may want or features you would like to have, and then
we can have your customized blueprint drawn,
absolutely free of charge.
Step 4 – Sign the Contract
Once we have an agreement on the price, and the details of the house are decided on, we are ready to sign a contract to build. The contract will give
you a complete price to build your home, with no surprises at the end. So while other builders may leave things out initially to make the price look
better, and than add them during construction, we want the houses we build to come in at, or under budget.
If there is any added cost that comes up during the building process because of our oversight, C&M Properties and Construction
Inc. will pay for it.
Step 5 – Construction
Once construction of your new home begins you can be as involved as you would like to be. You can also pick out everything on your own, or you can
have our input and advice while you are making your decisions. We will meet with you at key times in the construction process to make
the choices for the next phase of construction.
We also will provide you with detailed spending reports, at anytime, so you can see exactly where your money is being spent.
Step 6 – After Construction
Once your new
custom home
is completed and nearly ready for you to move in, we will meet with you at the site for a final walk through. We do this so we
can address any last minute questions or concerns you may have. We will not walk away from the project until you are completely satisfied, since
about 90% of our business is based off of referrals, we want to make sure you are completely satisfied with your new home.
