Currently, our pre-sale homes are built exclusively within our Kahite development. We do not currently offer our pre-sale or semi-custom-building process on buyer-owned lots.

This allows us to carefully control quality, design standards, timelines, and overall consistency within the community, ensuring each home complements the surrounding environment and delivers the level of craftsmanship our buyers expect.

If you’re interested in building with us in Kahite, our team would be happy to walk you through available homesites, floor plans, and the presale process.

The overall timeline to build a pre-sale home is approximately 9-10 months, including the pre-construction contract and selection meetings.

All exterior and interior selections must be completed prior to submitting the home for Architectural Control Committee (ACC) review. This ensures the design is fully approved before construction begins and helps us maintain an efficient, well-organized build schedule. ACC approval takes approximately 1 month.

Once ACC approval is received, construction typically takes 7-8 months, depending on factors such as home size, selected upgrades, and weather conditions. Throughout the process, we’ll keep you informed of progress and upcoming milestones, so you always know what to expect.

Our base price includes a thoughtfully designed home with high-quality standard selections that align with the overall look and feel of the Kahite community. These standards are intentionally chosen to provide a cohesive, elevated starting point while still allowing room for personalization.

During the building process, you’ll move through dedicated exterior and interior selection phases, where we clearly outline what is included as standard and what is available as an upgrade.

Standard selections typically include:

• A predefined floor plan and exterior style
• Standard exterior materials approved for the community
• Standard cabinetry, countertops, flooring, lighting, plumbing, tile and fixtures

Optional upgrades and enhancements may include:

• Upgraded appliances
• Custom cabinet designs
• Premium countertops or flooring
• Enhanced trim details
• Additional electrical outlets or lighting features
• Fireplace upgrades or specialty inserts

All selections and upgrades are reviewed and finalized before submission to the Architectural Control Committee (ACC) to ensure a smooth approval process and accurate pricing. We provide clear documentation throughout, so you’ll know exactly what’s included, what’s optional, and how each choice impacts your cost, no surprises.

Once all selections have been finalized and submitted for ACC approval, changes during construction are not guaranteed. Most key design choices are locked in to keep the project on schedule and maintain quality standards.

Some changes may still be possible, but these are considered change orders and will incur an additional fee. We’ll clearly communicate what can be adjusted and the associated costs so you can make informed decisions.

To avoid delays or extra charges, we encourage buyers to finalize all selections during the designated exterior, plan enhancement, and interior selection phases.
