Our Home Building Process

1. SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT

Give one of our New Home Consultants, or your favorite Realtor, a call or an email to set up an appointment! You'll be able to:

• Take a tour of our homes

• Take a tour of our Design Studio

• Review floor plans

• Review available lots

• And much more!

This is a great opportunity to get questions answered about building a new home!

2. STRUCTURE YOUR PURCHASE

In Step 2, we will work with you to write your purchase agreement. The process of this step can vary depending on if you are purchasing a completed home, one currently under construction, or starting from scratch. We will work with you to get all of the appropriate paperwork in place, ensuring you feel completely comfortable and confident before leaving our office. If you purchase a home from scratch or under construction, Steps 3-6 will apply to you. If you purchased a completed home, jump to Step 7!

3. DESIGN YOUR HOME

In Step 3, you'll work with the Design Team at Thomsen Homes to incorporate items that are tailored to your personal style. This can be overwhelming for some, but at Thomsen, your Designer will talk you through the process step by step. Your Designer will walk you through selecting the design and finishes from the exterior through the interior. The small details matter and make the house your home, so we'll be sure to suggest and point things out that may be beneficial for you in your new home.

4. BUILDING YOUR SHELL

In Step 4, we build your shell, which includes:

Excavation
Concrete
Framing
Shingles
Housewrap
Window and Door Installation

5. ELECTRICAL WALK THROUGH

In Step 5, you, your Design Assistant, and the electrician will complete:

A tour of your shelled home
Create a customized electrical layout for your switches, tv packages, extra outlets, etc.

6. NEW HOME ORIENTATION (NHO)

In Step 6, you and your Product Process Manager will complete a 2-hour New Home Orientation )(NHO) walk through to examine the functionality of your home. This includes:

Reviewing all mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems
Reviewing the completed home in detail
Seeing your dream home in the design process come to fruition!

7. FINAL WALK THROUGH

In Step 7, there is a brief walk through where you and your Client Support Coordinator will go through any, and all, items discussed in your New Home Orientation to assure your beautiful new home is ready to move in!

8. CLOSING

Closing takes place following your final walk through at the Thomsen Homes Office. During this time, you will sit down with our trusted title company and go through the closing documents. This is also a great time to ask any questions you may have for them! After signing, you'll get your keys, and walk out a new homeowner! Congratulations!

9. INITIAL WALK THROUGH & WARRANTY WORK DAY

An Initial Walk Through will take place 0-60 days after closing where your Client Support Coordinator will be available to answer any questions you may have and address any items of importance. Items that fall within warranty standards will be completed on scheduled Warranty Work Day. Thomsen Homes plans to have all trades/vendors present at the Warranty Work Day, so there is less need for you to take time out of your schedule to have warranty work addressed. The Warranty Work Day will take place 4-6 weeks after your Initial Walk Through.

10. YEAR-END WALK THROUGH

The Year-End Walk Through happens around the 10-11 month anniversary of your closing. This follows the same process as the Initial Walk Through, only this is the time we would address drywall repairs that fall within warranty standards. The goal is to have all warranty work completed by your 1-year anniversary!
