Just moved into our new home! Every step of the process was great. Everyone from Granite Ridge Builders were an absolute joy. We could not be happier!

Darren Crandell | Roanoke, IN

My project manager has been great to work with throughout the entire construction and warranty processes. He is quick to respond and extremely thorough in making sure all of our concerns are addressed and that we’re satisfied with the results. It reinforces we made the right decision building with Granite Ridge Builders!

Jeremy Lepper | Spencerville, IN

Jenn Nelson was my design coordinator and she was truly a pleasure to work with. Her knowledge, professionalisms, patience, understanding of what I wanted, and caring personality made the experience very pleasant and stress free.

Ernestine Meriwether | Fort Wayne, IN

Jeff, the project manager was amazing. He kept me in the loop everyday, and I felt like I always knew what was happening in my home. He was always honest and on top of things. He took care of my home as if it were his own.

Lauren Cochran | Churubusco, IN

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.

COMMON FAQs DURING THE CONSTRUCTION PROCESS
How do I schedule my one-year walk through appointment?

As you approach the one year anniversary of your new home, you can schedule your courtesy one-year walk through appointment by calling our Customer Care Specialist. Make a list in advance of what you notice along with any questions you have regarding the warranty process.

When will spring escrow work start?

Weather will play a big part in when we are able to start spring escrow work including concrete flatwork, grading, and yard installation work. We monitor the weather and check the frost in the ground in order to start the work as soon as possible. Please be patient during this period–we will make sure the work is completed properly.

What is a homeowner orientation?

The homeowner orientation is scheduled with your Project Manager before closing and has two purposes. The first is to demonstrate the new features of your home and discuss homeowner maintenance items. The second is to confirm that we have delivered a home that meets our high standards and quality.

What if I have questions during the construction process?

We strive to provide the best communication and customer service throughout the construction process. Your Project Manager is available to answer your questions in a timely manner, no matter what the issue. You can send a message on Buildertrend or give them a call.

When can we move in?

After we have completed construction on your new home and have received the certificate of occupancy, we will schedule your closing appointment. Once you receive the final keys at your closing appointment, you can begin moving in.

How do I track the progress of my new home once construction has started?

Our Project Managers strive to ensure that you stay engaged throughout the entire process and will be in contact with you throughout the building process. Our simple online system, Buildertrend, also allows homebuyers to track the progress of their new home and easily communicate with our team. Some of the features on Buildertrend include daily logs, messages, and calendar updates, sharing photos, and saving important documents.

What is the best way to contact you?

How do I learn more about my home warranties?

Granite Ridge Builders has partnered with the Residential Warranty Company, LLC (RWC) to provide our homeowners with a 10-year new home warranty which includes coverage on major structural components. You will receive a copy of the RWC handbook at closing that outlines the warranty information for your new home. You can also request more information on our warranties by contacting our Customer Care Specialist.

What are the steps in building a new custom home?

Purchasing a new home is an exciting experience. The first step in purchasing your new home is becoming pre-qualified for a home loan to determine your budget. Next we will discuss your goals and wishes for your new home to determine the perfect floor plan and location. After finalizing your design selections and budget, the purchase agreement will be signed and construction will get started. Upon completion of your new home we will schedule a homeowner orientation and closing appointment. You will receive the keys and you may begin moving in–congratulations!

How do I provide feedback on my building experience?

Within a few weeks of closing, you will receive an e-mailed questionnaire from Eliant, our customer satisfaction partner. The feedback from our homeowners is the primary driver behind the improvement of our products and the performance of our team who have helped you along the way. We would very much appreciate it if you took some time from settling into your new home to evaluate your experience. As you begin to make your house a home, please let us know what we can do to make your experience even better!
