Our Process
Below is a breakdown of our process. You will be able to see how the Design, Build, Live process takes shape.
Design
Design Meeting
There is nothing more exciting than sitting down for the first time to discuss the reality of building your dream home. Marquee Homes’ staff is well versed in their industry and have answers and directions to the next steps to make the preparation to signing a contract with Marquee Homes easy and simple. In the initial visit, you’ll sit with our President and In-House Designer to discuss a budget, building lots, and general home preferences. Come with questions, information about your land (if you have already purchased a lot), and house plans you have in mind (if not, let us show you some of ours). We can help find a building lot if one needs to be purchased, and we can provide assistance with selling your current home. A great place to start prior to coming in for your visit is to look at our website and social media accounts for ideas and options for your next home.
Sign Contract
A contract designed specifically for your home with pricing, the scope of work, subs we recommend, and a booklet will be provided to start us on collaborating on your home. This is your own “build binder.”
Design
Once the contract is signed, the fun begins! You’ll meet with our in-house designer to red line the house plans, walking through your wants and needs step-by-step. We’ll also help you with making selections to customize the home to your specifications! These are made and shared with the sub-contractors throughout the build. You are given a guide on recommendations for carpet, brick, shingles and so much more. Our staff is eager to help and answer any questions you may have.
Build
During the build process we will work on getting permits, bids, scheduling our subcontractors and working out a timeline for a timely build. Please be aware that at times, there are material shortages that can cause delays, but we will do our best to start our designated timelines on time, but there are things that are out of our control. Marquee Homes does their best to communicate this in a timely manner so the homeowner and builder are on the same page. Clients are given timelines to let them know when their finishes for their home have to be received to ensure you know how long you have before your custom list of finishes need to be returned and discussed.
Final
After installation and inspections are complete, your project manager will walk you through your home and make a punch list. This punch list documents all of the work that has yet to be completed outside of the initial scope of work. Your final payment including all change orders are due at time of completion. Once papers are signed, we’ve gone through Closing & Title, and occupancy has been given, you’ll receive your keys and be ready to move in!
Live
Move – In
The best part of any build is when we get to give the keys to the new homeowners. The excitement, joy and creativity is palpable and we feel the energy as well. Your homeowner’s warranty will be given to you with your paperwork during the build, along with advice for a new home. Now it’s time to enjoy your new CUSTOM home!.
