While it may feel like the world slows down, winter can be the best time to start planning your new home. A winter start offers greater control over design timelines and homesite selection, leaving you well-positioned for the busy building season.

Master the Timeline for a Smoother Build

Building a home involves a series of important decisions made in a carefully aligned sequence. Our proven process moves from on-the-ground tours and floor plan selection through design refinement and construction in clear, manageable steps.

By making the bulk of these decisions during the quieter winter months, your project is ready to shift into site work in springtime when the weather is more favorable. Planning in winter and building in spring helps prevent rushed decisions and sets the tone for efficient builds.

Secure the Right Homesite Before Demand Rises

Lot selection is a fundamental choice from which other key decisions flow. Your homesite will shape your daily life, influencing everything from views and privacy to long-term investment value.

Offering more time to deliberate, winter gives you the chance to consider elevation, natural surroundings, and neighborhood amenities. You can weigh options on a longer timeline with fewer distractions and less competition for lots.

A winter start ensures your homesite is the perfect foundation for the life you envision.

Design with Confidence, Not Urgency

This is where our new Design Center becomes your greatest asset. We’ve created a dedicated space to help your vision become tangible, where you can move from online inspiration to hands-on comparison of finishes, fixtures, and millwork. Winter is the ideal time to begin your 30-day exploration period, moving at a relaxed pace through the design possibilities to refine your wish list.

At the close of this month-long exploration, a three-day design consultation pairs you with experts on everything from exterior finishes and cabinetry to flooring, fixtures, and lighting. Leaving you with a cohesive, intentional, and personalized plan.

Get Ahead of Reviews, Permits, and Approvals

Building a home involves paperwork. Architectural reviews, permits, and regulatory approvals are critical and often time-consuming. Tackling these processes during winter’s typically slower pace helps avoid bottlenecks that can happen during peak building seasons.

With plans finalized during the winter, you’re ready to start construction when the warmer months arrive, maintaining a steady and predictable momentum.
