Our Process = Your Advantage

In recent years, the home building industry has been consumed by the wants of its most demanding consumers. As a result, it has often neglected the masses. Thus, missing the mark on the collaboration required to identify clients’ needs and execute on them at a high level. We are a locally owned Omaha homebuilder whose mission is partnering with like minded customers to achieve a balance between their wants and needs. As a result, we have designed a process to make guided decisions for those whose priorities are budget, timeline, and quality in order to minimize stress. By setting clear expectations and following our process, our goal is to develop a trusted relationship with our clients and deliver a wonderful home that you will be proud to share with your family for years to come. 

By leveraging state of the art 3-D drafting & design, we empower our customer(s) with the tools to confidently personalize their home. In addition, our utilization of the most comprehensive project management software (Buildertrend) gives our clients the ability to communicate and stay informed of construction milestones throughout the process.

In addition, we have built and continually manage an extensive database of available lots throughout the Omaha Metro and surrounding areas to guide us to the right build site.

Communication

• Communication is key throughout each of the processes below
• Buildertrend messaging allows all communication to be documented for your benefit

Pre-Contract / Signing

Preliminary Pricing Process

• Our pricing templates allow for our clients & sales team to quickly arrive at a quantified build price estimate based on the clients preferred floor plan from our website along with their desired lot. This eliminates unnecessary appointments. (We have multiple plans to choose from and a process to efficiently modify floor plans & elevations to meet our clients’ needs.)
• Our process of modifying base plans in combination with our selections menu gives our customers a reliable and transparent pricing early on in the process.
• Our in-house pricing model enables us to consistently validate and control construction pricing with our subcontractors & vendors.

Design Process

• Interior personalizations/modifications range from adding ceiling detail to moving interior walls or adding garage space(s) to expanding the footprint of a home
• Exterior modifications allow us to help you create a personalized and unique elevation design
• We make all plan modifications at design phase to keep your home on schedule.
• We also have an online extensive Selections process to allow our clients get an idea of their color schemes/designs from their own home before the final selections process.
• We also task our clients with getting their financing pre-approval at this time.

Selections & Plan Review Process

• As modifications are made, our clients start finalizing their exterior & interior selections for the entire home.
• The material & finish selections have been simplified with our process using a menu of attractive options & upgrades. Most of which are made before we sign a contract to move forward.
• This process allows us to minimize modifications that would require bids to obtain pricing
• This process is one of the most vital to us meeting the customers priorities of budget, timeline and quality

3-D Review & Price Finalization 

• Once modifications and selections are completed, we give clients real-time pricing and begin the contract. 
• Upon receiving the plans and 3D package from our drafters, we deliver them to our clients to review and send final comments/redlines.
• Upon approval of plans, ours customers will sign off on them while we complete our in house Quality Assurance Review of the plans from a construction perspective. We will make an addendum to the contract for any final selections/finishes changes. From here we do not allow change orders.
