BUILD WITH PEAVY HOMES

THREE WAYS TO BUILD

Build on your lot or ours

Whether you already own land, want a homesite in one of our communities or are still looking, the first step is the same: a consultation about your school district, homesite size, special needs and budget.

  • Build on your lot

    Own land already? We will design and build a home for your property.

  • Build on our lot

    Choose a homesite in one of our communities and we design the home around it.

  • Find your lot

    Still looking for land? We help you locate a homesite, then design to make the most of it.

YOUR LAND

Build on your lot

If you own a lot, we will be glad to meet with you and discuss a home plan we currently build or a custom project on your property. We design to make the most of the homesite you have.

Is building on your lot right for you?

  • You already own land, or are about to buy it.
  • You want a plan we currently build, or a home designed for your property.
  • You want one builder with you from design through warranty.

OUR COMMUNITIES

Build on our lot

Choose a homesite in one of our communities and we design the home around it. Every community’s lot map, school district and starting price is on one page.

STILL LOOKING

Find your lot

Do not have land yet? Talk to us before you buy. We start with your requirements for the school district, homesite size, special needs and budget, then locate a homesite and design to make the most of it.

HOW WE BUILD

Nine steps, and you are not alone in any of them

We have carefully selected and organized our team of professionals to make the process as easy and straightforward as possible. There are systems, staff and resources in place to guide you in the selection process and oversee every aspect of the project.

  1. CONSULTATION & BUDGETING

    Once you’ve decided a custom home is in your future, the first step is to set up a consultation. We will meet to discuss your requirements for the school district, homesite size, special needs, and budget. We will locate a homesite and then design to maximize the characteristics of that homesite.

  2. PRELIMINARY DESIGN

    A Pre-Construction Agreement will need to be executed and a deposit is required to begin the design phase. Deposits are non-refundable but will be credited toward the purchase price of your new home. A deposit covers a full set of plans, engineered foundation, and geotechnical reports on soil testing.

  3. DESIGN DEVELOPMENT

    We have a designer on staff to help you narrow down your design options. Allowances are set at levels that are typical for your home’s size & price. Keep in mind there will always be more (and less) expensive design choices. Throughout the design process, we typically discuss hundreds of design alternatives. If an item is not in the plans or specifications, it’s not in the contract price.

  4. CONTRACT SIGNING

    Once you approve the architectural plans and the budget pricing, we are ready to sign the contract! Your Peavy Home sales professional will prepare paperwork to place your plan and homesite under contract. Once your paperwork is finalized, you are ready to hand it over to your lender. Be sure to ask about our lender partner, who is familiar with our new home construction loan timelines.

Questions about building

Do you build on my lot or only yours?

Both. If you already own a lot, we will meet with you and talk through a home plan we currently build or a fully custom project on your property. If you do not have land yet, we have homesites available today in Chapel Ridge, Renaissance and The Reserve at Lakeland Meadows, and we can help you find the right lot for the home you want.

Can I customize your floor plans?

Yes. You can start from a plan we currently build or design something fully custom. We have a designer on staff to help you narrow down your options, and through the design process we typically talk through hundreds of design alternatives before anything is final.

How long does the process take?

It depends on the size of the home, how long the design phase takes and how quickly selections are made. Our process runs in nine steps, from the first consultation through closing day and warranty, and we will give you a realistic timeline for your home at your first consultation.

What is included in your standard pricing?

Your price is built from your approved plans and specifications. Allowances for finishes are set at levels typical for your home's size and price, and if an item is not in the plans or specifications, it is not in the contract price. The design deposit covers a full set of plans, an engineered foundation and geotechnical soil testing, and it is credited toward the purchase price of your home.

Do you offer financing?

We do not finance homes ourselves, but we work closely with a preferred lender who knows our new home construction loan timelines: John Boyd, Branch Manager at Extraco Banks in Waco. At your first consultation we can also recommend other professionals who can explain the construction loan process.
