The Ashlar Homes
Build Process
The building of every home is a unique experience, we do our best to tailor the process in such a way that you have knowledge of the steps we are taking to provide a quality home that reflects great craftsmanship and design.
Ashlar Homes is committed to providing you with a quality product that you will enjoy for years. We are also committed to keeping to a schedule that will get you into your dream home as quickly as possible
Step 1 - Contract
Contract! The exciting (and maybe slightly scary) part of the process! We enter into an agreement to build a home together! The contract confirms the agreed selling price of the product, neighborhood/lot, and specific plan along with the structural options for your home. Once your contract is processed you can breathe a sigh of relief as the fun begins! You will receive an invitation to join Builder Trend. This is our project management tool which will help you stay informed throughout the whole process.
Step 2 - Permitting & Selections
Now the fun stuff! During this stage in the process, you will select your pallet or if you have chosen one of our CLASSIC series homes, you will make your Selections Appointment at our partnering Design Studio. Here is when you really begin to see your vision for your new home take shape! Overwhelmed by having to choose all those design elements? Don’t worry because your Designer will walk you through it all and make sure your home has a cohesive design.
Step 3 - Planning Meeting
Once you have completed your selections for your new home, whether it is selecting from a pallet or the appointment of a full selection, the next step in the process is to have your planning meeting. This meeting will occur with members of your Community Team and during the meeting, you will be confirming the ins and outs of your build. Our goal for this meeting is to answer any questions thus far and to set expectations for what is to come.
Step 4 - Foundation, Framing, and Mechanicals
We believe every home we build is the future place for family and friend gatherings and one of our favorite steps in the process is this one. To see something go from nothing to a future place for your memories is exciting to us! During this time, it may feel like time is standing still! But it is far from that!
There is a lot going on in this phase-some we can actively see and some we cannot. Further this stage is VERY weather dependent and requires patience as we cannot control weather delays.
Step 5 - Sheet Rock, Trim, Cabinets, and Flooring
It’s the final countdown! Okay, well not quite yet, but we are getting closer and closer! During this time, cabinets are installed and once they are complete and your countertops are set, we can start to schedule the home orientation, final walkthrough, and set the closing date! Remember, sometimes delays beyond our control occur and if this happens, we will adjust your closing accordingly.
Step 6 - New Home Orientation & Pre-closing Walk
Well, here we are! It’s almost time for you to pack up your things and move into your new home. Your walkthrough takes place one week before closing!
However, you will be asked to get it scheduled one month before and it’s important that you make this appointment! During this time we are also reviewing our own checklist to make sure your house is ready for move-in day!
Step 7 - Final Walk Through
Your community team will walk you through your new home to make sure the punch list from your walk-through was completed and to your expectations. Our commitment to you is to provide you with a quality home that you will enjoy for years to come. We are also committed to keeping to a schedule to get you in your home on time and as quickly as the build process will allow.
Step 8 - Closing & Key Delivery
Upon completion of the final walk, you will meet the Title company where you will sign the final paperwork to make this house officially your new home.
Congratulations and Welcome Home!
Community. Quality. Customer Experience.

We know you have some questions. It’s a big decision to build a home. We are here to help. Here are some of the most frequently asked questions when it comes to building a new home. Do you still have questions? Let’s set up a time to answer those in person.
Can I customize my new home?

If you are purchasing in our Legend Series we have a few upgrade options you may select from. If you are building a Classic Series home, we have many options to choose from when customizing the selections for your new home. You will visit Everleigh Design Studio where you will work with your personal design team to select the perfect colors, textures and design elements for your new home.
What is a Community Team?
The build process is extensive and requires frequent communication between the builder and the homeowner.

Do I have to use an Ashlar Preferred Lender?
No. You can certainly use a lender of your choice. However, we have worked to develop strong partnerships with several lenders in the area and can provide you with some great offers and lower rates through one of our preferred lenders.
How long does a build take?
This depends on where in the process you buy and which home series you are buying. Typically, it averages between 7-9 months. Of course, weather and permitting can sometimes cause further delays. When this happens, we work to communicate those delays upfront.
