Getting Started: Beginnning the Process
So, you want to build a home, but you don’t know where to begin?
Here is a checklist to get you started.
| 1. ____ | Prepare and Understand Your Finances: HOW MUCH
CAN WE AFFORD? Now is the time to get your finances in order. Check your credit report. Pay off any outstanding debts, if possible, to improve your credit rating. Talk with several bankers or mortgage companies and get quotes on mortgages rates. (We can give you some recommendations if you need help in this area.) Do you have a house to sell? If so, can you obtain a bridge loan and begin building while you are still in the process of selling your house or do you need to sell your home first? Knowing ahead of time what you can spend, and when you can spend it, will make the home design and lot selection process more efficient. |
| 2. ____ | Determine Where You Want To Live: CHOOSE A LOT. If you already own a lot you are ahead of the game! If you have not yet chosen a lot we may have some on reserve in various neighborhoods, so do be sure to ask. If you have a specific neighborhood in mind you can purchase the lot yourself or contact us first. (Something to keep in mind when choosing a lot is the school district and tax district.) |
| 3. ____ | Determine your home style: CHOOSE A HOUSE PLAN. You may already have blue prints drawn up or a house plan picked out or you may need some design help. Whatever the case, we can help you. At your initial meeting with Stonebridge, if you do not already have plans, our designer will meet with you and help you turn your ideas and dreams into a black and white reality. We will discuss topics such as the approximate size of your home, the style, the length of construction time to build your home, and the costs. This entire design process takes a few steps before the final blue print drawings are complete. If you have authorized official blue prints to be drawn up and you then decide not to build with us, you are only obligated to pay for the cost of the drawings, at which point the drawings become your property. |
| 4. ____ | When Are We Obligated To Build With Stonebridge? SIGNING
CONTRACTS You may be wondering at what point during this process are you obligated to build with us. It is not until contracts are signed that you are obligated to build with Stonebridge Construction Company. We are so confident that you will want to build with us that we can make you this guarantee. |
