Building a home

In 8 Simple Steps

Each Friday following your “Build Comm” Meeting, your Personal Builder will call you with an update on your home's progress and will answer any construction questions you might have. Please write down your questions throughout the week so they may be addressed during your Friday call.

After you are unconditionally approved (for End Loan) or closed on your CP Loan, your home is released to our construction team. The amount of time it will take to start your home will vary depending on the number of homes already scheduled to start in the community, along with permitting times, weather, and labor or material shortages that could cause delays.

Once your home has been released to our construction team, a member of the construction team will call you (approximately 2 - 4 weeks prior to the start of your home) to schedule a “Build Comm” Meeting. At this meeting, you will meet your Personal Builder, review and sign your blueprint and elevation, discuss the features of your new home, verify TV and phone outlet locations and provide your Builder with phone numbers for your weekly updates.

It is our goal to finish your home in the shortest possible time without compromising quality. Unfortunately, we cannot control things like permitting times, weather, and labor or material shortages that may cause a delay in the construction of your home. Generally, your home will be built 90 - 150 days from the date of the footer inspection to your New Home Orientation.

Once your home has been completed and achieved the quality standard expected by Southern Homes, your Personal Builder will contact you to schedule your New Home Orientation. At the New Home Orientation, your Personal Builder will review your “Southern Homes Maintenance Manual” and “Customer Service Policies.”

Once you have signed the Affidavit of Completion, it will take up to 14 days to close on your home.

After closing, we'll still be there to support you with a full 10-year structural home warranty, a two-year systems warranty and a one-year workmanship warranty by partnering with the nation's leading home warranty company, 2-10.
