Our HouseMatch tool makes choosing the right home plan easier than ever. Designed to match your unique needs with the ideal design, HouseMatch takes the guesswork out of selecting a home plan. But what happens after you’ve found the perfect match? Let’s walk through the next steps.
Step 1: Purchase a Study Set
Once HouseMatch has helped you find a home that fits your lot and lifestyle, the next step is to purchase a Study Set. This affordable product option includes all elevations and detailed floor plans, giving you an initial overview of your future home.
A Study Set provides several key benefits:
- Get an Initial Cost Estimate: Your construction team can review the Study Set to provide a rough estimate of building costs.
- Identify Potential Modifications: You’ll be able to assess whether the plan fits your exact needs or if adjustments are required by our team.
- Confirm It’s the Right Fit: Many homeowners discover that the design is already perfect, simplifying the decision-making process.
Step 2: Evaluate Modifications
If you find that a few changes are needed—whether it’s an extra bedroom, a larger kitchen, or a modified porch—our team can guide you through the modification process. Using a Study Set allows you to clearly communicate your vision so we can tailor the plan to suit your family’s lifestyle and preferences.
Step 3: Purchase the License to Build
Once you’re confident in your selection (and no modifications are needed), it’s time to purchase a One-Time License to Build. This grants you full permission to use the construction drawings and begin building your dream home. If modifications are needed, we’ll finalize those changes before issuing your final plans.
Step 4: Begin the Building Process
With a finalized plan in hand, your builder can move forward with permitting and construction. By following these steps, you ensure a smooth, informed transition from choosing a plan to breaking ground on your new home.
HouseMatch is designed to simplify the home design process, helping you feel confident in your choice. Whether you move forward with a Study Set for cost estimation or proceed directly to construction, we’re here to support you every step of the way. Start your journey today with HouseMatch and take the first step toward your dream home.
