We’ll work with you to make building an affordable and enjoyable process.

There are three phases to the construction process. Provided that you already have land, the 1st phase is securing your financing, which can take 30 to 60 days. In the 2nd phase, we prepare your land for your new home and acquire the appropriate permits, which usually takes approximately 30 to 45 days.
