Preparing to Build Your New Home
From simple to complex, building a new home has many stages. We’ll walk you through the process one step at a time.
With well over four decades of experience in locating and evaluating land, we’ll assist you in finding the perfect location for your new home. Our land consulting services include locating the land, site cost evaluation, suitable floor plan recommendations, and septic or well requirements.
At David Weekley Homes, we know it’s critical to give your homesite a valid soil test and inspection prior to building your new dream home.
A survey of your land is essential before the building process can begin. Through our Build on Your Lot program in Charleston, we will conduct a professional survey of your land to determine property limits, as well as plot the location of the house, garage and other features.
We provide a tree survey to gain useful information about the existing trees on your property, such as the species, physical measurement, ages, overall health and life expectancy. Information like this helps our Build on Your Lot experts make informed decisions about which trees we can keep and which ones are potential problems.
If your homesite has an existing structure on it that needs removal, we can take care of that for you! From securing the necessary permits to debris removal, David Weekley Homes Build on Your Lot program offers demolition services of an existing structure.
Every home is different, and so is its HVAC (heating, ventilating and air conditioning) system. Depending on your situation, region and needs, you can choose from heating systems running on either gas or oil as fuel, or a hybrid packaged system that can use both fuel types. Our Build on Your Lot designers have the answers to those questions, they are experts in equipping your home with the right unit.
We want to make your home building experience to be free of surprises – especially when it comes to pricing. Fixed pricing from the start means there isn't any question about how much you will pay to close on your new home. We explain the total cost before you sign on the dotted line, eliminating any unexpected bumps in the road.
We have relationships with Preferred Lenders who can help our Homebuyers determine their financing needs. A Loan Officer can guide you through the entire process, from initial application until the closing of your home. For those interested, David Weekley Homes also accepts cash contracts.
Building Your Home
The paperwork is signed, so now the fun begins! Now you’ll really start to see your dream home become a reality.
Your Personal Builder℠ is dedicated to keeping you informed throughout the building process. Depending on the construction stage of your new Build on Your Lot home, you’ll meet up to four times with your Personal Builder: at foundation, framing, drywall and final walk-through. When you have questions, your Personal Builder has answers. It’s just another way we personalize the home building experience and offer great Customer Service to you.
Want to keep up with your home’s progress at anytime? When you sign your contract, you will be given access to your buyer website, MyDWHome.com – a great resource for your new home. We give you the ability to access valuable information about your new home anytime. View photos of your home during the building process, schedule design appointments and even schedule warranty service appointments after you’ve closed on your home!
Our construction professionals inspect the construction and quality of your home. We conduct inspections at different stages by the jurisdiction in which the home is built and your home must pass each inspection before construction can continue. In addition, David Weekley Homes has professional, third-party inspections performed on foundation, framing, mechanical systems, all plumbing systems, and all energy components. This is to verify that we are building your new home to code and have met all the necessary standards. Our EnergySaver™ Homes undergo additional inspections, specifically designed and monitored by Environments For Living® for energy-efficiency certification.
We provide all new David Weekley Homeowners with a home location survey plat. In addition to understanding home placement, this survey is required for many zoning approvals, and shows all property lines and existing structures on your land drawn to scale.
At David Weekley Homes, we take communication seriously, and keeping our promises is important – that’s why we keep you informed during each step of the building process. Your Personal Builder will contact you regularly to update you on progress, while MyDWHome.com will allow you to check on the building process at anytime!
Living in Your New Home
After construction is complete and you’ve moved into your new home, rest assured that we’ll be there to support you even after the dust settles.
At David Weekley Homes, we measure our reputation on how we treat our Customers – before, during and after closing. That’s why we dedicate an entire department to our industry-leading, multi-level, in-house warranty program. Our skilled Warranty Service Team can help you resolve construction or maintenance issues that might arise. During the first year you’re covered by our one-year limited warranty, plus the appliance manufacturers’ warranties.
