1. The First Visit

3. Simplifying the Contract Process
We all know that unlike other industries, a construction contract isn’t composed of a single document. There is a lot to consider, understand, and sign! At Hogan Homes, our sales professionals are here to help you navigate through the process. We provide all of our homeowners with a great informational piece, all compiled neatly in one red binder, which includes all the paperwork you’ll need – your contract, construction process, 3rd party home inspection report, energy-efficient items, home warranty, loan commitment, and buyer’s protection. This way, everyone stays involved, and we are all on the same page throughout the construction process.
4. Choosing Finish Colors and Customization
This is the fun and exciting part – it’s time to start picking colors and textures, your home’s finishes, and consider how your home will look and feel once it’s done. Take out a lot of the guesswork and get a better sense of how your home will look. And the best part is, you’ll be working with experts who will help you navigate the design process. We’ll help you choose the materials that best reflect your own unique style.
5. Pre-Construction Meeting
During the meeting, we sit down with you and go over every single plan. We will review all the options you’ve chosen, make sure they are all clear and agreed upon. This includes plumbing and electrical plans. We want to make sure that everyone is on the same page before we start construction on your new home.
6. Walk the Frame
We know you’ll be excited to watch events unfold at your new home. This step involves you walking the frame so you can get a feel of your home’s layout before we start the sheetrock. This will also give us a great opportunity to confirm that your selections are in place, and explain many things that help in your home function.
7. Home Orientation Walk
Congratulations, you can now walk through your finished home! This step is done as a final review before closing day. The home orientation walk goes beyond the traditional walkthrough, and it includes a detailed demonstration of your new home’s operation. We’ll walk you through how to operate your home’s electrical circuit breakers, heating and air conditioning units, plumbing, and other important equipment that will keep your home running smoothly.
8. Closing Day
This is your big day! After months of planning, you will finally get the keys to your new home! Sign the necessary papers at the title company, and be assured that prior to closing day, we’ll provide you with all the information you need and are available to answer all your questions about the closing.
