Plan to be in town for up to five days. Following the contract, we start the Pre-Construction phase for your home. Your Build Team will coordinate with you for your Kickoff Meeting. Just let them know if you would like to spend another day or two to go through more of your selections.
Your New Home Coordinator will share instructions with you on how to access our BuilderTrend portal, where photos and progress updates can be shared seamlessly from anywhere.

As a rule, to ensure that we can guarantee our work, the work of any contractors we employ, and the quality of materials that we use, Carolina Signature Homes will not install items that you’ve purchased on your own. You are still welcome to make outside purchases and have these installed once your Certificate of Occupancy has been received.
The pricing presentation is for a Portfolio home design and will list the home price, site costs, and the costs associated with your requested changes or additions to the chosen Portfolio home. The customizations you request for your home will be listed in the “Sales Pricing Worksheet.”
We understand that scheduling travel isn’t always easy. We often complete the entire pre-contract process with our clients virtually through a series of phone calls and emails.
An allowance is a specific amount of money included in your home’s construction budget that our team includes in your pricing estimate. It is allocated to be used for items such as cabinets, appliances, flooring, countertops, and tile. Once you have made your final selections, your allowances will be reconciled.
The site and foundation cost associated with the construction of your home varies, depending on the topography of your home site and the home design you’ve selected. We evaluate each site and project and provide the estimated cost for the site work, and, if required, additional foundation costs including retaining wall estimates.
