ROAD MAP TO SUCCESS!
Congratulations on the purchase of your new home! During the next several months, we will work together to make the construction of your new home a pleasurable experience. Please assist us in this process by completing the following decision making tasks by the times stated. Your timely cooperation will aid in the summation of a successful project.
1. It is very important that you familiarize yourself with your purchase agreement as we will rely on the accuracy of these documents for the proper construction of your home. If you believe that something is not correct in your purchase agreement or if you have any questions about its contents, please contact your sales representative directly.
To help you understand the construction process we have listed the usual construction sequence (attached). Due to scheduling, weather and inspections, it is normal to have several days delay between stages of construction.
2. Plumbing fixtures are pre-selected per plan and are described in your contract (Exhibit “E”). If you desire to make changes to the plumbing fixtures, you must make your selections before construction begins. Plumbing fixtures are purchased through our plumbing contractor at J. W. Woods. You may make an appointment with Dana Bird to select fixtures at the J. W. Woods showroom. Pricing will be available to you through our office approximately one week after you make your selections. Please let us know ASAP if you have changed or upgraded any fixtures. We will not accept plumbing fixtures provided by others.

3. Entry door is pre-selected per plan and is described in your contract (Exhibit “E”). If you would like to upgrade the entry door, please make your selection with either Rick or Gary at Hughes Plywood. Your selection must be made before construction begins. Please note that failure to select the upgraded entry door before construction commencement will result in additional costs for painting. Please let us know ASAP if you have made any changes or selections.

4. Approximately two weeks into construction, the trim is painted on the fascia boards and the roof shingles are installed. Please make an appointment with Jane Fontana at Westwood Windows and Walls before construction begins. She will be happy to assist you with the color selections including; trim (paint), stucco (body color), masonry (if applicable), roof shingles, garage door(s) and entry door (paint).

5. Appliances are pre-selected per plan and are described in your contract (Exhibit “E”). If you would like to see the appliances or discuss different options with an appliance representative, you may do so by scheduling an appointment with Carmona’s Appliance Center – Jack Littleton. Appliances must be selected before your cabinets can be designed. Please finalize your appliance selection while your home is in the framing stage. Any upgrades not included in your contract should be paid directly to Carmona’s Appliance Center. Please let us know ASAP if you have any upgraded selections. If we do not receive notification from you during the framing stage of the project, we will allow the cabinets to be constructed around the appliances specified in Exhibit “E”.

6. Interior color selections become important during the rough electrical phase of construction. During this time we are finalizing cabinet plans, ordering appliances and thinking ahead to floor coverings. Once again, please make an appointment with Jane Fontana at Westwood Windows and Walls. This appointment will be interior related. She will assist you in selecting interior paint, cabinet stain, ceramic tile, grout, Formica flooring. If you wish to upgrade flooring, you may pay the additional cost directly to Design Time and Tile through Jane Fontana at your decorating meeting.
7. During the sheetrock phase of construction, please select your lighting fixtures at Biggin’s Lighting. We ask that you do not schedule an appointment until the rough electrical has been completed. An appointment will need to be made with Lana at Biggin’s Lighting. We will not accept light fixtures provided by others.

8. Your contract specifies the amount and type of concrete flatwork (driveways, walks, patios etc.) that will be placed. Towards the end of the project you will meet with our concrete contractor if you wish to make modifications or additions to the concrete flatwork. The concrete flatwork will be placed upon your written approval of the design and cost. Please note our concrete contractor will be contacting you directly to schedule a meeting.
9. After the concrete driveway and walks have been placed, you will be asked to meet with our landscape contractor to discuss landscape possibilities. Landscaping is specified in Exhibit “D” or “E”. The landscape contractor will follow the contract unless you tell him otherwise. We will proceed with the landscaping upon your approval of design and cost if applicable.
At the same time you will also go over the fencing as specified in Exhibit “D” or “E” of your contract. In most instances fencing is self-explanatory and we will not need your input. On some occasions, however, the building property may include unique features such as greenbelts, declining slopes or extreme size that may affect fencing. If your property falls into this category or if you wish to discuss changes or additions to the fencing, you can do so at this time. We will proceed with the fencing upon your approval of its location, style and price. Please note our landscape/fencing contractor will be contacting you directly to schedule a meeting.
10. Our final request from you is that you ENJOY YOURSELF! Let’s face it; you don’t have the opportunity to have a brand new home built to your specifications every day! It is very important to us that you enjoy your building experience. Our staff will make every attempt to make your building experience pleasurable. If you are enjoying the experience, please tell someone. If you are not, TELL US!
Once again, thank you for selecting NORTHWEST HOMES as your contractor. We appreciate your business.
If you have any questions during this process, please contact Lanai Morehouse our Construction Coordinator or email her at .
