You can build in Riverchase in two ways: on your own lot or on one of our Select Lots. Buyers find it a relief to know that the starting price of a Riverchase lot includes an $80,000 allowance to develop your lot. Every lot and every piece of land is unique. Classica will thoroughly vet your lot and you will have a wellstudied, estimated cost to develop your lot before you finalize your purchase.
YES! On our website you’ll find photos, videos, and 3D walkthroughs of our complete portfolio of custom homes. Be sure and explore the interactive floor plans for optional ways your home can be designed.
For every custom floorplan designed by nationally recognized architect Dave Kosco of Bassenian Lagoni, Classica has three to six different exterior styles. The exteriors are designed by a different nationally recognized architect, Todd Hallett of TK Design. Classica wants you to have the best and has brought together two architects to make it happen.
Classica is glad to evaluate the lot or lots you are considering. Just call any Classica model home and they will arrange for a Builder to meet you on site.
You’ll be amazed at all the fabulous things you can choose, including interior and exterior colors, cabinets, tile, counters, trim, carpet, and more. Your Designer will guide you through all the exciting ways to customize your home. You’ll also meet with Classica’s appliance and lighting trade partners outside the Design Studio, and you can choose to meet with landscape and audio/video trade partners. Best of all, you’ll know the cost of everything you’re considering—no surprises.
You’ll have a pre-construction meeting with your Designer and Builder, who will guide you through the 7-8 months building process. Near the beginning of construction, you’ll have a Home Site and Pre-construction Review to evaluate plans and specifications. When your home reaches the mechanical stage, you’ll have another formal review. Classica welcomes you to visit any time and encourages you to request meetings with your Builder as needed. Remember, you have their email and phone number, and they are always happy to answer your questions.
If something isn’t working properly, Classica’s Warranty Team is prompt, solution oriented and provides outstanding service. They care about making it right and making your day easier. Homeowners give them high grades of approval.
