Laura (New Home Specialist), thank you for your last update on Buildertrend. We have been genuinely amazed at how quickly the crews have done their jobs. Dave (Project Manager) has done a really good job of keeping us informed of what was going on. He certainly has done his job of seeing that if he says it is going to happen, it happens. The crews have always been on schedule or even ahead of schedule. Thank all of you again.

Alan & Sue Bowers | Ney, OH

The process used by your company to keep us informed of the building process and timing was excellent. We appreciated the help your team gave us with fast responses on questions we had. We will recommend your company to those looking for building a new home. Quality is first class along with your staff. We are loving our new home more each day.

Lucian (Executive Designer & Estimator) did an awesome job on home design. We made up our mind to choose Granite Ridge Builders immediately after our first meeting with him. All of the drafters/print designers who worked on our home were awesome. Very helpful, knowledgeable, friendly, and quick to respond. I really enjoyed this part of the home buying experience.

Heath & Stephanie Breeding | Fort Wayne, IN

Working with Lucian (executive designer) was helpful in getting the house we had envisioned. We really enjoy the open feel and the quality workmanship of the home. We thought the process was so easy and such a positive experience - can't imagine things being any better! Your showroom is great! We loved that you have it all in one place!

Jim & Julie Gould | Fort Wayne, IN

I had the opportunity to work with Lucian and Cindy in creating my home layout and design. He demonstrated an amazing ability to balance my interests and price point with all other aspects of the home building process to create a beautiful layout.

I thought the design process was going to be overwhelming but, Samantha (Design Coordinator) made everything so easy, fun and nice. It was a very pleasant experience.

Simple Steps
1. Meet

In the initial meetings, we will give you a showroom tour, share our home building process, and discuss your goals, ideas, and budget for your dream home. Granite Ridge Builders feels that it is important to listen carefully to a homebuyer’s wishes. Once we have found an ideal location for your new home and the perfect floor plan, we will prepare a construction proposal. The construction proposal is an outline of the features and cost related to the construction of your new home.

Meet the Team
2. Design

Once you agree to terms of the construction proposal, a contract is signed. This step introduces the plan, design, and decorating stage. You are also ready to begin the mortgage and loan application process. We will assign one of our talented Design Coordinators and Drafting Specialists to guide you through the process of planning and selecting the features and details of your new home. You will work one-on-one with our team to personalize your new home to your specific budget. All of the design choices are located under one roof, making it an enjoyable and effortless experience.

Design Studio
3. Build

Once your financing and overall design are completed and approved, the construction process will begin. We have teamed up with Buildertrend to help you stay involved during the build and allow you to communicate and follow along with the progress of your new home. Granite Ridge Builders uses construction techniques designed to build one of the highest quality homes you can purchase. To ensure the quality of the homes we build, we have assigned a Project Manager to your job. The Project Manager will inspect your home during the construction process. The inspections performed by your Project Manager are in addition to the required inspections performed by the building department and vendors involved in the construction of your home.

4. Live

When construction on your new home is complete, your Project Manager will contact you to schedule a New Home Presentation. This final step in the process of building your home typically lasts one to two hours and will prepare you for the final closing. During this meeting we will demonstrate that the home has been completed to your satisfaction, demonstrate maintenance procedures, and review warranty procedures and emergency contacts. A closing appointment will be scheduled with the lender and title company which includes finalizing your loan and receiving the keys to move-in!
