The Building Process
Our Building Process
There are many stages of construction involved in building a new home. We have outlined the three major phases of construction to help you better understand the process and to help make it easy to know how and when to make selections for your new home. Please make your choices by date requested to help prevent delays in construction.
1. Home Plan and Property Lot are Selected
2. Contract is signed by a new Homeowners (Buyers) and Oakwood Custom Homes Group LTD
3. Financing is secured by new Homeowners
4. Finance Closing-Homeowners, Title and/or Mortgage Company, & Oakwood Custom Homes
The construction phase does not start until all steps in the Preliminary Phases are completed.
IMPORTANT- You will need to make arrangements for your utilities (electricity, water, sewer, and gas). We will make arrangements for your temporary power for construction. You will also need to get a 100-year flood plan certificate, and provide access to the property (culverts if needed, and a cleared path or road if in a rural area).
