01 DISCOVERY

This is the moment we begin to transform your ideas into reality. We’ll provide you with a checklist that covers essential design elements, such as the number of rooms and the types of bathrooms, allowing you to prioritize your preferences and aspirations.

Additionally, we’ll sit down together to clarify the distinctions between traditional construction methods and the high-performance materials and techniques we employ, ensuring your home has the durability needed for a lifetime of enjoyment. You'll also have the chance to visit a home currently under construction to witness the K&M Homes Difference in action.

Feel free to bring any design inspirations, whether they are photos or sketches! We’ll go over your budget and explore how we can optimize your investment.

02 FIND LAND & EVALUATE

If you’re still on the lookout for the right land for your new home, we can assist you in two ways! We have available lots for sale, and we can also connect you with one of our trusted Realtor partners to help you find the perfect location. If you’ve already acquired a lot, our construction team will come to assess the property, examining aspects like topography, utility access, and land clearing. This evaluation will provide valuable insights into how these factors may affect the design and budget of your project.

03 DESIGN & ARCHITECTURE

Once you’ve secured a lot and are ready to start building, we’ll formalize the process with a Pre-Build Agreement. This agreement enables our home building team to assist you with project planning, design, and budget considerations. If you haven’t yet chosen an architect or finalized a floor plan, you can collaborate with one of our trusted architects, or we can help you find one that suits your needs. Throughout this phase, we’ll work closely with you to ensure that your design aligns with your vision while staying within your budget, all without sacrificing quality.

04 ESTIMATING & BUDGETING

After finalizing your design, our estimator will collaborate with you to create a budget that accurately reflects the actual construction expenses. Upon completing the estimation phase, we will present you with a comprehensive document detailing all anticipated costs associated with your home’s construction. Once you approve both the design and the budget, we’ll move forward with the construction of your home.

05 CONSTRUCTION

With your design and budget in place, we’re excited to commence the construction phase of your project. You will be paired with a Construction Superintendent and Interior designer who will serve as your main on-site liaison, managing all aspects of the build from excavation to the day you move in. They will be present at the job site every day, ready to address any questions and ensure that everything aligns with your vision. You’ll have the opportunity to visit your home each day, and we’ll also schedule walkthroughs at key stages of construction to review progress and discuss any necessary updates.

06 WARRANTY

Once the active construction phase is finished, we’ll take a walk through your new home with you before closing to ensure everything meets your expectations. We provide a comprehensive one-year workmanship warranty on your new home, which also covers the work and products supplied by our trades and vendors. Plus, our 2/10 Builders Warranty covers mechanical and structural components, which cover essential systems for added peace of mind.
