Our goal for turnaround time on most preliminary plan sales is 7 to 8 weeks. Turnaround time for clients that have placed their 10% deposits is prioritized and typically runs 4 to 5 weeks. This will vary from busy season to slower seasons. After determining your desires and building schedule, choose a course of action that best suits your needs. Remember, no one ever started too early on their plans…….however, many will procrastinate each year until the drafting department is fully booked and are disappointed at the longer production/delivery times in the Spring and Summer!

If a client plans on starting construction in late Winter or early Spring, we highly recommend ordering plans by August or September. The initial set of plans can be prepared while the drafting backlog/lead time is shortest. The clients can then take their time in reviewing the plans, making notes, and getting preliminary price quotes. When they are ready to have the touch-up revisions done, the turnaround time is usually very short and the client can start construction without any drafting and estimating delays. Plans are the ‘roadmap’ to building a home. Without plans, nothing has a chance of moving forward! |
