Frequently Asked Questions:

What is the typical homebuilding process?
The typical homebuilding process begins with a pre-qualification for the loan. This step is initiated by a licensed loan officer. If you do not have an officer, we are happy to make arrangements for you to meet with one of our preferred lenders. Your lender will then give you a monetary range from which you are qualified to borrow.

From here we will discuss the options that are available to you in regard to your aspirations and fiscal means. You may choose a home from one of our existing plans, modify an existing plan, bring in your own plan, or start from scratch. We will also consider the building lot at this time. Some customers already have a building lot in mind; however, we are constantly scouring the Valley for available lots and are able to help you locate a destination if you so choose.

Once a plan has been finalized and a building lot has been purchased, we create a contract that details the specifications and allowances for your home. From here we begin the building process.

During the building process you are able to select the overall fit and finish of the home. Decisions for items like flooring, light fixtures, and paint colors are made during this time.
Our goal is to have your home completed in approximately 3 to 4 months from the onset of the building process. It will then be ready for you and yours to begin building lasting memories. You will further understand why we build homes that stand the test of time.

What are the price ranges of your homes?
Because we are a custom homebuilder, we have built homes within a wide range of prices. We can build a home to fit nearly any budget.

What type of homes do you build?
We build everything from the innovative starter home to the large estate home. The common threads woven through all of the homes that we build are: quality of the work and innovation in design.

Do we have to have a lot to build on?
No. We build in many different areas around the Valley and are happy to you find the perfect lot for your perfect home.

Do you have a catalog of plans you build?
No, we do not have a catalog of homes like most builders. We custom design each one of our homes. Even if you like one of our previous designs, we will strive to fit it to your lifestyle. We can even change the outside appearance of the home to set it apart, — this gives each home individual character it deserves. Our stance on customization does not cost you anything extra, — it is essential to achieve our mission of building quality homes.

Can you build from our plan?
Definitely. If you have a plan that you have already had drawn up or purchased we can certainly build it for you. We will also offer insights and suggestions to be sure that you get the best home possible.

Do we have to bring you plans or ideas to get started?
Not necessarily. However, we recommend that you start by looking around at existing homes and begin to collect idea. We have unlimited design options and resources. We can take the ideas you have and make any suggestions that may improve the design or offer added value. We are confident that we can design a home that reflects the lifestyle of its owners and this costs you nothing extra. It comes from our experience and attention detail…two things that are inherent to our business. We realize that this is most likely your biggest purchase and represents sacrifice and investment; you deserve to get the design that fits the way you live.

Does it cost extra to have you design our Home?
No, custom designing homes to fit your lifestyle and dreams is what we do.

What sets Timepiece Homes apart from others?
First, is the attention to detail and design we put into a Timepiece Home.

Second, is the open-style we use throughout a Timepiece Home. Use of large windows, vaulted ceilings, half walls where appropriate and arches all help in creating this feeling of openness.

Third, is the exterior curb appeal of our homes. From steep rooflines to the use of accenting brick, a Timepiece Home has a look that is attractive and unique.

Fourth, is the overall quality of our homes. We utilize only the finest materials and craftsman to design and assemble a home that will stand the test of time.

How long does it take to build?
The length of the building process is contingent upon several factors. First and foremost is the size of the home. Weather and time of year also can effect the completion time. As a general rule you can move into your home about 3-4 months after breaking ground.

Can we do sweat equity?
As a general rule we discourage sweat equity. We are very particular about the workmanship that goes into a Timepiece Home. Not to slight work done by homeowners, but we would want to ensure that the work is done to our high standards.

With this being said, we will consider sweat equity on an individual case basis. Please contact the office for further details.
