Building a new home is a fun and exhilarating time, but it is also a time to get to work! Building a new home requires numerous decisions on your part, and timely selections will help ensure your home is completed on schedule. Please refer to the chart below throughout the construction process to help guide you in your decisions.

Once you have made selections for your new home, remember that changes are costly in both time and money. For this reason, be firm in your choices and make changes only if absolutely necessary. Changes after your work order has been approved (see the chart below) will result in late change fees. Rolwes Homes wants you to be completely happy with your home and the construction process, and these fees are not meant to be punitive. They are in place simply because it costs money every time a late change is made.

If your contract is home sale contingent, your initial deadlines may differ from those outlined below. Your community sales manager will set your deadlines based on the removal of your contingency. However, from the point your work order is approved, your timeline will be the same as shown in this chart.
