The Steps in the Custom Home Building Process
- Initial “wants and needs” meeting: Discuss client preferences as to location (unless they have their own lot), house style, size, rooms, features, timetable, budget, financing, etc. If the client has their own lot, and they have their own blueprints or surveys, they submit them at this time.
- Search for and acquisition of property, for clients who don’t already own a site.
- Development and review of rough plans and cost estimate. This usually includes client tours of other Mancini custom homes to review layouts and finishes.
- Development of contract, plans, and specifications for client’s approval and signature. May involve multiple discussions and meetings with clients until plans are finalized.
- After signature and receipt of client deposit, submission of plans to the township for permits.
- If client has an existing older home on the lot: move-out, utility disconnection, and demolition.
- Construction and client selection of finishes begins. Mancini helps with all selections and introductions to suppliers and subcontractors.
- Monthly progress billings and payments for the duration of the job. Most jobs take between five and nine months.
- Upon completion, Mancini obtains all required inspections and certificate of occupancy.
- Final walkthrough with client to compile a punchlist of any required touch-ups or modifications.
- Clients make final payment, take possession.
- Mancini provides a standard 10-yr NJ New Home Warranty. At 30 days and again at one year after the client takes possession, Mancini will review and complete any additional repairs required due to normal settling of new construction.
