Custom In this phase, we make it easy to tailor a plan to fit your unique lifestyle. Our experts will walk you through the options and design decisions to create a home that's truly yours.
Plan It all starts with a visit to one of our model homes where our Market Managers will help you choose a floor plan, home site and desired options.
When choosing from our portfolio of award-winning floor plans, we make it easy to add-in a myriad of features and pre-priced structural options. Try out our Interactive Floor Plan tool to see what is available. You can even take notes, place furniture, and add outlets and lights.
What differentiates us from our competitors is our Custom Design Request. No matter the floor plan, you can choose to take advantage of five no-hassle Custom Design Requests even before the contract is signed (some neighborhoods do allow more for added flexibility). Our team incorporates your ideas and vision to give you an up-front estimate.
Many of our Design Centers also have Preview Events where you can get a sense of finishing options before you sign a contract. See your local Design Center page for times.
Finance Get a customizable mortgage solution with a partner that knows new home construction financing. Experts at our financial subsidiary, First Equity Mortgage, will guide you each step of the way.
Design From cabinetry to countertops, you'll find the latest home building products handpicked from the best manufacturers along with the expertise of our Design Consultants.

At this step, you'll also meet with our wiring experts to discuss options to expand your DreeSmart Technology enabled home.
Construct You've designed your home and locked in your selections. Now, it's our turn to get building! This phase culminates as we hand over the keys and our customer care follow-up and warranty begins.
Build We start with a pre-construction meeting with your Builder on your home site to review final plans and review the construction process.
Once all permits are issued, we will begin construction where your vision comes to life.
We've broken down construction into six distinct steps. Learn about these milestones on our What to Expect / Home Construction Process page.
One of the exciting on-site meetings during construction is the Pre-drywall Review. Just before drywall is hung, meet with your Builder to go over the work already completed on your home and discuss the progression over the next steps of construction.
Own Get acquainted with your new home, receive your keys and rest assured that we are there for you even after closing. To see more details, visit our Home Closing and Warranty page.
