| Build on Your Lot
Philosophy
Stone Ridge Homes by Louis Howell believes in quality from start to finish. We try to build each house as if it were our own whether it be on our lots or yours.
Engineering
We make sure our engineers have the necessary information to design a foundation that is specific to the soil conditions on your lot. This may include but is not limited to a soils report for your lot.
Design Process
We take great care in the actual home design to ensure you are getting an attractive home that is also energy efficient and as cost effective to build as possible. We call it “Value Engineering”. After all, a home must not only be affordable when you build it but also affordable to live in on a daily basis. Our Energy Star Rated homes help you do just that by requiring less energy to heat and cool then the typical non energy star rated home.
We also pay careful attention to the shape of your lot to ensure your new home fits on it the best way possible to give you the most curb appeal and at the same time compliment the natural terrain.
If you do not already have a house plan picked out, you can choose from one of ours or we can design a new one from the beginning especially to fit your needs.
Finding a Lot
If you do not currently own a lot but know what area you would like to live in, we can assist you in finding one.
Amenities
If you are not sure of the amenities you want in your new home, we can show you samples of some of ours to give you a starting place then modify them from there.
Restrictions
While we will be happy to accommodate you in any way possible, please be aware that the lot you choose may be part of a Home Owners Association that may have certain restrictions affecting the design, color or placement of your new home on the lot. There may also be City and or County restrictions that may apply. Once you have chosen your new lot, we will conduct the necessary research to ensure we are informed of all applicable restrictions that may apply so we can design your home accordingly.
These restrictions as well as fees imposed by the permitting municipality may increase the cost of your home.
Decorator Selections
You will be given an opportunity to customize your house using our selection room. You will be able to choose your carpet, counter top, bathroom vanities, cabinet style and color, tile, wood, brick, paint etc.
Build Time
Build time will vary from job to job. Some of the variables affecting build time include location, complexity of house plan, weather, and availability of sub contractors, materials and inspection processes.
Important Information
On the lot you currently own or are looking to purchase, we will need to know or receive the following information:
- Is your lot located within the City limits?
- Are City or County water and sewer services available to your lot?
- Are electrical lines available at your lot?
- Is natural gas available?
- Do you have a current soils report for your lot?
- Is there a Home Owners Association?
As you can see, we take the prospect of building on your lot as seriously as we do building on our own.
Please feel free to call, come by or email us to discuss the building of your new home.
