Streamlined and stress-free homebuilding
A Collaborative Homebuilding Process from Start to Finish
The process of building new homes can be very complex and overwhelming to many people. Lifehouse Homes’ proven process makes for a stress-free and streamlined home building experience. Our team looks forward to working with you and helping you through the home building journey!
STEP 01
STEP 01
Come Meet Us
Choose from one of our many floor plans via our website, or models. This is the first step towards your future home. Our website will always remain updated with all current pricing and availability within our developments. During this time, it is highly recommended that you setup a meeting with a member of our sales team so they can aid in this process and answer any questions that may arise!

Financing
The next step in your process will be to meet with one of our partner banks and mortgage providers to establish a pre-approval letter, outlining the specific requirements for your loan. Your pre-approval letter and an initial deposit are required for the next steps.
STEP 03
STEP 03
Contract Signing
Once you have your desired floor plan, pre-approval letter and deposit ready, it’s time to schedule a meeting so we can put together your contract. During this meeting, you will be meeting directly with the owner of the company, or as many like to refer: you are meeting the Builder! At this meeting, your chosen floor plan will be reviewed with you and the available options and selections you had in mind will be discussed! Lifehouse Homes works hard to accommodate most requests that do not require major structural changes to the floor plan. At the end of the meeting, a timeline and contract estimate will be thoroughly reviewed with you prior to signing.

Selections Meeting
The final step in the contract phase are the selections themselves. Around the time the home is being framed, a meeting is scheduled with the Builder. During this meeting you will be choosing everything from siding and stone color, to paint color and cabinetry.
