DESIGNER #2 MEETING NOTES

Questions For My Project Manager

1. WHEN CAN I SCHEDULE MY DESIGNER MEETINGS?

Once your contract has been completed and approved, your Harris Doyle Sales Agent will schedule your meetings. Pre-Design, Designer 1 and Designer 2 meetings take place Monday - Friday from 8:00 am-1:30 pm. The designers have limited slots available each week and they are scheduled on a first come, first serve basis. No Saturday or Sunday appointments are available.

2. HOW LONG DO THESE MEETINGS LAST?

We allow a total of 6 hours for the Designer meetings. The design meetings are allotted 3 hours each. Expect to spend at least most of your allotted time at the Designer meetings. Prior to your Designer meetings, you will have a 1-hour, virtual pre-design meeting to meet your designer, cover pertinent information and instructions to prepare for your design meetings. Any additional time that requires the designer to be available will result in a design fee. Please see the details contained in your original contract for details.

3. WHAT IS THE NEXT STEP AFTER I HAVE COMPLETED MY DESIGNER 1 & 2 MEETINGS?

After you have completed your designer meetings and approve all selections, HD Homes will begin issuing purchase orders and the final set of construction drawings. It usually takes 2-3 weeks before the second phase of construction begins on your home. There are instances when construction may be delayed due to current trade availability or community backlog.

4. CAN I CUSTOMIZE MY PLAN?

HD Homes spends many months for each community in the preparation and design of the home plans. Care is taken to ensure a consistent architectural integrity for each community, therefore HD Homes does not allow for customizations or alterations to the exterior of your chosen plan. Special interior plan options are available for each home as the plan allows. Your HD Sales Agent will show you these options from which you can elect to add when writing your contract.

5. CAN I SUPPLY MY OWN APPLIANCES AND/OR LIGHT FIXTURES?

If you would like to supply your own appliances and/or light fixtures, we ask that this be done after closing. With new home construction, certain appliances and lighting must be installed in the home prior to obtaining a Certificate of Occupancy.

6. CAN I HAVE A FRIEND/RELATIVE PERFORM A CERTAIN TRADE?

Despite the fact that there are many people/companies that can do quality work on your home, HD Homes has partnered with a specific set of trade partners that we can hold accountable to do quality work and stand behind their work during the warranty phase. These trades have signed agreements with us and are licensed and insured on our records. Allowing others to work on our homes can present problems for us in the form of liability and adherence to building schedules. It would also nullify our warranty on that portion of your new home. Therefore, it is very important that HD Homes use only the trades with whom we have existing relationships.
