What to Know Before You Buy
Practical guidance on design centers, customization, warranties, inspections, financing, incentives, and timelines for this builder.
Build-on-your-lot starts with the land
You bring the land, either owned or under contract, and the company constructs the home. Confirm your lot's buildability before you invest in plans or deposits.
Understand the model-based path
The portfolio of home models can be built on your lot, which keeps pricing and timelines more predictable, while custom design work remains available for buyers who want more freedom.
Verify lot conditions first
Septic or sewer, well or public water, zoning, setbacks, easements, utility access, and driveway conditions determine whether and how a home can be built on your parcel.
Get a written all-in price
Site work, utilities, permits, and finish allowances sit on top of the model price. Ask for an itemized written estimate before you compare.
Ask about the owner-builder's team
With an owner-led company, ask who supervises the day-to-day build, who is on site, and how subcontractors are managed and vetted.
Plan construction financing
On-your-lot builds typically use construction loans with draws at milestones. Compare the lender picture before you commit.
Expect a phased timeline
Site work, foundation, framing, rough-ins, and finishes follow a set sequence. Ask for a written schedule with realistic buffers for weather and permits.
Inspect at the milestones that matter
A third-party pre-drywall inspection and a final walkthrough protect details that warranty coverage may not reach, plus the 11-month warranty walkthrough.
Build-on-your-lot timelines depend on lot readiness, permits, and the season. Ask for a written start and completion schedule with clear buffers and confirm who owns the risk of delays.
Questions to Ask Before You Buy with Built Right Homes
Bring this checklist to your first conversation with the builder's sales team. Each question protects a different part of the deal, from pricing and the contract to inspections and the warranty.
Is my lot buildable, and what will it take to confirm?
Septic, well, zoning, and utility questions are cheaper to answer before the contract than after.
What do your model home prices include, and what is extra?
Site work, driveways, utilities, and finish allowances can sit on top of the model price.
Who manages the build day to day, and who is on site?
An owner-led company's supervision model matters for quality and communication.
How do custom design projects differ from the model path in price and timeline?
Custom design costs more and takes longer, so know the trade-offs before choosing.
What is the written build schedule, and who owns delay risk?
A schedule with clear provisions protects your lease, your rate lock, and your moving plans.
How are change orders priced and approved?
Every change needs a written price and signature before work proceeds.
What financing structures do you work with?
Construction loans and draw schedules need to align with the builder's contract milestones.
Can I bring an independent inspector at pre-drywall and final?
Third-party inspections protect details that warranty coverage may not reach.
Can I tour homes you are building or have recently completed?
Active and completed work shows the build quality in practice.
What does your warranty cover, and when is my one-year walkthrough?
Virginia's warranty has deadlines, so mark the calendar early.
