A 5 Step Guide To Building Your Dream Home with Atlas Building Group
At Atlas Building Group, we believe in making your dream home a reality through a streamlined and transparent build process. From the initial meeting to the final walk-through, we are committed to providing exceptional service and quality construction. Our comprehensive build process is designed to ensure your new home meets your expectations and exceeds your dreams.
1. Initial Meeting: Understanding Your Vision
The journey to your new home begins with an initial meeting at our Riverstone location. If meeting in person is not convenient, we can easily arrange a video conference call. This meeting is crucial for understanding the style of home you desire, the square footage you need, and your budget range.
Whether you have already selected a piece of land, are interested in purchasing one of our available homes, or need assistance finding the perfect lot, Atlas Building Group has the resources to get you started on your journey. Our goal is to ensure that your expectations are clear and that we have a solid foundation for the next steps.
2. Reviewing Financing Options: Finding the Best Fit
Securing the right financing is a critical step in the home-building process. We offer several financing options to suit your needs:
Construction Financing: Most lenders require detailed plans, specifications, and a cost breakdown to begin the construction financing process. Early preparation is essential, and we will assist you in gathering and submitting the necessary financial information for pre-approval.
Conventional Financing: In some cases, Atlas Building Group may already own the lot where you wish to build your new home. This allows us to finance the build and provide your bank with the required information for conventional financing. You only need to provide a deposit and a pre-approval letter from your bank.
Cash Financing: If you plan to pay for your project out of pocket, we will provide a schedule and request draws based on the completion of specific phases within the build. For example, an initial down payment before excavation, followed by subsequent payments upon completion of the foundation, framing, and other key stages.
3. Site Visit & Architectural Design: Bringing Your Vision to Life
Once financing is arranged, we move to the site visit and architectural design phase. We prefer to get our "boots on the ground" to assess the land you've selected. This allows us to coordinate engineering and design layouts for utilities and other essential elements.
Using our advanced 3D modeling software, we help you visualize the scale and layout of your home. If you already have plans, that's perfectly fine—we can skip the design phase and proceed directly to engineering to ensure everything meets the highest structural standards.
We begin by designing your blueprints and floor plans. After your approval, we work on exterior elevations and final renderings. If you change your mind on any design element, our in-house draftsperson can quickly make adjustments to keep your project on track.
4. Selections: Personalizing Your Home
As we finalize your plans, we guide you through a comprehensive list of building materials, selection options, and potential ideas. This process includes establishing allowance estimates and providing contact information for elements such as appliances, cabinets, flooring, lighting, and hardware. Transparency regarding your budget is our priority.
Our design professionals are available to assist you throughout the selection process, ensuring you feel confident about the final product. The goal is to make as many decisions as possible upfront to streamline the construction process and minimize confusion.
5. Construction: Building Your Dream Home
With plans approved and selections made, we can break ground on your new home. Our team will be available throughout the construction phase to answer questions and address any changes you request. Regular walk-throughs at various stages of construction allow you to review progress and ensure everything is proceeding according to plan.
The average time to build, depending on complexity and market dynamics, is typically 10-12 months. This phase concludes with a final walk-through to review the details of your new home and ensure it meets your expectations.
