Starting Your Journey

Our Build on Your Lot Process

Our experienced and professional build on your lot team is here to guide you through the entire process of bringing your luxury home to life. We will use our insight from decades of home building experience to take you along the journey from the initial design phase, to engineering, financing, materials selection, and finally the construction of your new luxury home.

Your journey starts with the pre-construction process which includes;

Build on Your Lot Luxury Home Consultation

In this initial phase, you will be meeting with our Journey Homes team to define the expectations for your project. We discuss your luxury home ideas, build plans, the features you need and the features you want, along with the finishes you wish to see throughout.

We also take the time to cover your budget as well as any important issues before the preliminary site visit. With all of this information, we will be able to determine if Journey Homes is the right match for you and your future dream home.

Your Comprehensive Site Evaluation

At this stage, we will physically meet you on-site at your property. Here we will determine the following;

  • The proper location and placement of your home, based on the lot size and topographic features.
  • The different access points to your home including the location of the driveway, utility route locations, proper drainage, land clearing requirements, etc.
  • From the site visit and evaluation, we can estimate your site costs which will be included in your overall project pricing.

This is one part of the process where you start to realize the benefits of building on your own lot. You are involved in the aspects of your home which would otherwise be chosen for you without thought and attention to detail.

Your Service Agreement

Your service agreement is a formality that allows us to proceed with all of the architectural and estimating required to give you the most accurate custom home cost projections.

This agreement simply indicates to us that we are at the point where we need to start assigning your team leads to the project.

Your Personalized Selections and Project Estimate

Here’s where the real excitement begins! We will sit down and review our expertly curated selection of luxury home plans that we have perfected throughout years of building with homeowners’ feedback. You have the opportunity to ask questions about any of our designs and work through which would be the perfect fit for you and your family.

With your home design selected, you will then meet with one of our designers to guide you through the path of choosing your features, finishes, color pallets, and other selections.

Based on our experience with countless previous projects, the luxury home plan you selected, your desired features and finishes, and the site evaluation, we are able to provide you with the preliminary project costs.

Your Project’s Final Contract & Financing

This is the point in the process where you are able to review everything for accuracy and make sure that your selections and final plans are what you had envisioned. After you give your final approval on the project contract, we commit to starting on this journey together.

During this stage, we will also guide you through the process of both construction and permanent financing for your project. We have built strong relationships with some fantastic lenders in the Greater San Antonio area and are ready to find the perfect financing for your project.

Pre-Construction Meeting

At this stage, we will have our pre-construction meeting which includes review and confirmation of your plot plans, floor plan layout, selections, the construction schedule, and more.

Pre-Drywall Meeting

We bring you in during this stage of the process to visit your project and review its current progress. The pre-drywall stage is just what it sounds like, we have finished all of the important “behind the scenes” elements of your luxury home up to the point of hanging your drywall.

This gives you the opportunity to get a feel for the placement of all of the personal touches that are going to make this house your home. 

Interior Finishes

The interior finishes stage of your journey is where your vision really starts to come together. Our team is busy at work adding all of the finishing touches that you have selected to your home and getting it ready for delivery.

As soon as your final coat of paint is dried and your landscaping is set, we will schedule a final walk-through and quality inspection to get your seal of approval.
