Can I make design changes or select finishes for a home still under construction?

Available design changes to under-construction semi-custom homes vary per listing. The earlier you purchase a home in the construction process, the more modifications and selections you can make. To inquire about changes to a specific home, contact our team.

We offer a one-year warranty for workmanship, materials and major systems, and a five-year warranty for structural elements.
