The Process
Just because you want to build on your own piece of ground doesn’t mean you should settle for an overwhelming process with an expensive custom builder. Here at S&A Homes nearly 25% of the homes we sell are to those who already own their own land. Our Build On Your Land program is simple, affordable and stress-free.
Step 1
Lot Review
Once you've met with a Sales Representative to determine which home you want to build, a Project Manager will personally meet with you. During this meeting, you will both physically inspect the lot, review lines & grades, utilities, code requirements, and any other information necessary to generate an accurate estimate of costs. This meeting is free of charge and requires no commitment on your part.
Step 2
Review of Costs
Your Sales Representative & Project Manager will work together to deliver a cost estimate to you prior to your purchase. Your cost estimate will reflect the estimated price of all land related charges as well as the estimated cost of the home with any features you choose to add. Land related costs vary depending on site conditions, local code requirements and availability of utilities.
Step 3
Purchase Agreement
After reviewing your land and confirming costs, the next step is to sign your purchase agreement and to select all of your options.
Step 4
Review of Financing Services
We partner with local lenders who offer specialized construction loans that are difficult to find in the open market. In addition to traditional construction loan financing, these lenders can offer streamlined financing solutions that convert to traditional mortgages at the end of the build period. You may also have the opportunity to use your land equity towards your down payment.
Step 5
Plan Review
Before the first shovel ever hits the ground, you will have an opportunity to review your specific set of blueprints with every option you choose. Your Sales Representative and Project Manager will meet with you to review your blueprints and all of your paperwork.
Step 6
Construction Begins
Unlike some builders, who only serve as an intermediary between you and certain sub-contractors, your Project Manager will oversee every aspect of the construction process from beginning to end, alleviating stress and freeing up your time for more important things.
Step 7
Move-in Day
Your Project Manager will be in touch prior to settlement to schedule your final walkthrough, and your Customer Concierge will handle all of the closing details. Leave all the details to us and get ready to move in. Congratulations on your new home!
FAQs
Our Build on Your Land program allows you to choose from a wide variety of S&A Homes floorplans to build on your land. Simply purchase a piece of land in your desired location and we will build your dream home on that land!
S&A Homes strives to provide the best, most complete service for homebuyers who build on their own land, just as we do for homebuyers in our developed communities. In that spirit, we oversee every single aspect of construction, including getting bids from sub-contractors and overseeing their work.
While we take care of the business of building your home, your only job is to prepare to move into the home of your dreams in the exact place you want to be.
Definitely not - our team is happy to help you get started even before you identify a piece of land. We will walk you through what to expect, provide you with more detailed price information, and help point you in the right direction on how to find land. If you find a piece of land you like (and have not yet purchased), our Project Manager will visit the land with you in order to provide an estimate on site costs. This visit is free of charge and requires no commitment from you.
The base prices listed above include the cost of the finished home only. (see the “included features” section above for a complete list) Since every piece of land is unique, these prices do not include items such as the cost of land, modifications to the land, permits, utilities, site work, landscaping, driveways & sidewalks, etc. Once our Project Manager visits your land, we’ll give you a free estimate of these costs.
Yes! S&A Homes offers a wide variety of personalization options including exterior and interior design selections. Our Heritage and Signature Series floorplans also offer a multitude of structural options that extend square footage, modify living spaces, and more. Our Sales Representatives are trained to help you make the best design decisions for your new home, and will work with you one-on-one to ensure that no detail is left uncovered.
Yes- prior to purchase, and after the free site visit, your Sales Representative and Project Manager will work together to deliver a cost estimate. Your estimate will include the cost of your home with all selected options and land-related expenses based on site conditions, local codes and availability of utilities.
Yes, you will need a construction loan when building on your own land. In order to make the financing process easier, S&A Homes collaborates with a network of trusted lenders who specialize in construction loans. These lenders offer streamlined financing solutions that convert to traditional mortgage loans at settlement. If you already own land, you can use your land equity toward a down payment.
Promotions and incentives can vary by community. Reach out to a Sales Representative for the community you're interested in to learn about the latest offers.
