Our Building Process
Watching as your home is being built is an exciting time!
Where some builders discourage the client’s involvement in the building process, we encourage it. We want you to be involved as much as you’d like. Oevering Homes strives to make every build as stress free as possible.
The following illustrates the phases throughout your build. This outline is to help you feel at ease through the process of building your home, and give you a step-by-step reference of what to expect.
Before getting started, you must get pre-approved with a lender. We understand getting pre-approved is a major step, but is a requirement before we can begin. If you don’t currently have a lender, let us assist you with our recommendation for a lender in which Oevering Homes has worked with and understands our building process and financing requirements.
Oevering Homes is committed to providing our clients with a quality built house, for a good value, while providing outstanding customer service. Here is some helpful information on the process when building through Oevering Homes.
Step 1: Initial Building Consultation
The initial meeting is a time for you (and your real estate agent, if applicable) and an Oevering Homes New Home Specialist to go over your wants and needs. We will take some time to gather information and share some suggestions as well as give some details on locations, lots available home plans and general pricing. Once we have a pretty good idea of what you want we will take this information back to our architect who will draft some options and create a proposal.
Step 2: Proposal Meeting
The meeting is to review a proposed package which includes a house plan, lot, location and initial price. Based on the initial building consultation meeting this may be one package or we may have a couple of options for your review.
Step 3: Purchase Agreement
Once you make your final decision on a house plan, location and base price, the next step is to write the offer to purchase. Builder deposit will be required to finalize this agreement and will go towards down payment on the home. This agreement is contingent on the buyer and seller agreeing on a blue print which will be reviewed in Step #4.
Step 4: Selections Meeting
We will set-up a selection meeting for you to decide on things such as; appliances, bath and kitchen fixtures, flooring, cabinets, counter tops, exterior options, and any special requests you may have.
Step 5: Site Plan Meeting
During the site plan meeting, you will be meeting our project manager, our excavator, and our surveyor/engineer. This meeting’s purpose is to determine house placement, and go over any other details regarding the excavation and digging of the basement.
Step 6: Final Check Plan Meetings
Before the actual excavation of your home site begins, you and an Oevering Homes Representative will review the final blue print and selections. At Oevering Homes we want to ensure the details of your home are what you agreed upon, the schedule is in alignment with your expectations, and the site review assists with the placement of your home.
Step 7: Walk-Throughs
The walk-throughs will be scheduled for the electrical at your home site to ensure such things as electrical outlets and lights are located and installed to your specifications and as agreed upon. You can also request a walk through with your realtor.
Step 8: Home Orientation & Final Walk Through
99% of your new Oevering home has now been completed. Your Oevering Homes New Home Specialist will take you through a final walk-through of your home. This is an opportunity to address any final details that need touch ups, any items that may need seasonal scheduling (i.e.; landscaping or driveway grading) and to familiarize you with the individual components of your Oevering Home. We will review any routine maintenance as well as answer your questions.
Step 9: Closing
The final process is completing your Oevering Home. We will meet your lender and sign all necessary documents to finalize the loan transactions of your new home.
Step 10: Move-In
