From Dream to Reality: The Start of Something New

The Start of Something New


So, you’ve done the fun part— exploring our model homes and Design Studio, deciding on your favorite floor plan, picking the perfect homesite, and selecting all the layouts and options you want. Now it’s our team’s turn.

First and foremost, our drafters, engineers, and construction team work together to find just the right location and grading for your home. Grading plans are the map for your new home. It shows where it will be placed on your homesite, what the topography will look like, and what needs to be added or removed to achieve your reality. This must be done before any new construction begins, including when we develop the original plans for a community.

We then submit these plans for permits. This is paperwork that grants us permission to build your home. Each township and county has specific requirements that must be met, including tree removal, water, sewage, and septic connections (more on this soon!), among many others. Your home can’t be too close to the roads, to other homes, or affect green space in or around the community.

Did you know? Williams Township works to balance construction activity with existing green space. Our Tumble Creek Estates community protects environmental stability by preserving as many trees and open spaces as possible and by establishing a community walking trail within them!

Our Permits Coordinator, Kathy, says this process can be anywhere from a couple of days to several weeks. While a permit for a home in our Sand Springs community can be made in a day or two, one for a New Jersey home once took months. This can take some time, so be patient!

Once everything is signed, sealed, and notarized, the construction team can do its thing.
