Superior Builder of Manchester, Inc

I am interested in one of your properties. What's the first step?

If you have not spoken to someone with regard to a pre-approval, we suggest that you speak to a trusted Mortgage Consultant to see what you can manage and see what range you feel comfortable in. If it's a piece of property that piqued your interest, then we would suggest you secure the lot with a deposit. Your deposit locks in the lot for 30 days. In that time frame, we would come up with a floor plan that suits your lifestyle, draft up a contract, and upon signing the contract, begin the permit process on your home. If it's a home style that you fell in love with, your first step would be to

How long does it take from start to finish?

It takes approximately 4-5 months, depending on the time of year and weather, to build your home. This does not include the 2-3 months it takes for us to secure all of your permits. Since each home is custom, each house & land package needs to be designed according to your specific home. With that being the case, we do not start the permit process until we have your specific home plan and a signed contract. The closing date is also determined by the timeliness of your custom decisions.

How do I find the perfect home for my loved ones and I?

We place the emphasis on you. By first listening to your thoughts, concerns, needs, and ideas and then asking questions and sharing our expertise with you, we'll help you to discover the details of your dream home, from the exterior roofing and trim to the type of fixtures and shade of paint you've envisioned. We emphasize a pre-planning approach to home design. Our goal is to build you a home that will last a lifetime. We can offer you many custom design features and options you won't find when working with larger builders and stock plans. Even if we can't find you the exact floor plan you ne

What kind of choices do I have to build my home?

As you can see from the first step of selecting your lot to create your ideal floor plan, your choices start from the very beginning. We run ads periodically entitled "Create your own masterpiece," and that is truly what you do. We don't limit you like some other builders do with a choice of 4 different tiles, 3 different carpets, and a choice of colors and appliances. As part of our service to you, we hand you a Homeowner's Manual upon signing a contract that details all of the choices you have, gives you the contact numbers for the industry professionals that we are associated with, a timeli

Do you require any additional deposits for the construction process?

Yes, we require an initial deposit of 20% upon signing the contract. We can work with you on the payment of the deposit — usually the final breakdown of the 20% being before we put a shovel in the ground. This is the only payment we require until the closing date. We finance the remaining 80% of the cost of the home and also the extras. Payment on any change orders will be required within 14 days of signed change order form. If we are within 45 days of closing, we can speak to your lender about rolling in any final costs into the mortgage if the appraisal allows for such.

Do you have any referrals?

As a state law, each builder is REQUIRED to give you a list of individuals whom they have built a home for in the last year. This is given to you upon your initial lot deposit.

What are the major "milestones" that I have to look forward to?
