LOT RESERVATION 1.

At the end of the meeting, we will review the Lot Reservation Agreement and schedule a time for you to meet your project team.

Once you’ve toured available lots with our agent and identified the best fit for you, the next step is to meet Guy Cherwonuk, the owner of Paces Ferry Builders on site to finalize your lot selection. During this meeting you will review the final plat for the community and walk the available lots of interest to you to determine the lot that best works for your family. Some lots are have backyards that are walk-out from the main level with side daylight basements, some are set up for daylight basement plans, and some for slab or crawl space plans. Some lots walk out to creeks, and some walk out to beautiful wooded buffers. During this meeting you are encouraged to bring floor plans and inspirational pictures of homes that you have seen that reflect your vision. The more inspirational plans and pictures you share with us, the better we’re able to identify home plans and lots that will fulfill your family’s needs and wants.

The next step in the custom home process is to meet with your project manager and architect to review floor plans and inspiration pictures. The project manager will ask you a series of questions to help determine the characteristics of the floor plan that best suits your family. We may recommend one of our plans, if there is a good match, or you may bring a plan from an architect you like. There are so many great floor plans available to purchase online and modify with our architect. We will have no problem designing your custom home for your unique needs.

At this meeting, we will also establish a budget, review how the allowances work with our vendors and interior designer, and introduce you to our BuilderTrend project management system. Paces Ferry Builders prides itself on our use of BuilderTrend giving you real-time visibility into the construction schedule, the ability to manage your budget, selections, and allowances, create change orders, and manage all communication with your building team throughout the process.

We will also review the construction agreement. The agreement you enter with us was developed by the Greater Atlanta Home Builders Association and will be a Construction Agreement – (Stipulated Sum Basis – For Construction on Owners Land).

2.

At the end of this meeting, we will have the information we need to develop a floor plan and budget for your review.

We will all work to complete this process in 30 to 45 days.

The next step is an iterative process with sketched changes to the plans as we finalize the plan and budget. We work with very talented architects and interior designers who are leaders in the industry and will customize the perfect plan for your family. While our project management team is working on the plans and budget, you will need to arrange for construction financing with your lender or our preferred lender at Truist Bank who provides an excellent constructionto-permanent loan product.

4.

Upon reviewing the customized components of your final plans and the construction loan closing takes place, the construction of your new home begins.

30-45 days after signing the Lot Reservation Agreement, you will purchase the lot. This will take place once we finalize the allowances and the budget and sign the Lot Purchase and Sale Agreement concurrently with the Construction Agreement. After the agreement is signed our team goes to work making your dream home a reality. Buyers begin paying Homeowners Association dues upon lot purchase. Once you have been pre-approved with the lender and signed a contract to begin the house-building process you will begin choosing options and selections, review preliminary plans, and discuss these changes within a pre-construction meeting.

SITE + PRE-CONSTRUCTION MEETINGS

Guy Cherwonuk will introduce you to your Construction Manager who will work with your Project Manager and the rest of our team throughout the construction process. Design appointments will be made throughout the building process per design exhibit schedule. The Construction Manager will review the site plan that shows where the home will be located on the lot. We will schedule many on-site meetings during construction including a framing walk-through, a mechanical walk-through, interior design reviews, a final walk-through and other meetings and site-visits as needed.
