OUR HOMEBUILDING PROCESS
J. Alan Homes
Homebuilding Process
At J. Alan Homes, our process is rooted in family values, personal attention, and a dedication to craftsmanship. We don’t just build homes—we build legacies. Each step of our process is designed to ensure that your new home reflects your vision and becomes a place where your family can create lasting memories.
1
Initial Consultation
During your first meeting with Jeff and Debbie, we’ll sit down to learn about your dreams, needs, and budget. Whether you already have a home site or need help finding one, we’ll guide you through the options. As locals with deep roots in the Lake Murray area, we’ll walk the home site with you, discussing design ideas and any questions you have.
2
Design & Selections
In this phase, you’ll benefit from Debbie’s design expertise, honed over decades in the industry. Whether you bring your own ideas or need inspiration, we’ll help you customize your home to suit your style and budget. We’ll review flexible floor plans and focus on creating a space that reflects your family’s needs. At our design center, you’ll choose colors, finishes, and features that make your home truly yours.
3
Contract & Financing
Once your design is finalized, we’ll provide detailed contract documents. These will be shared with you, and your financial institution. We’re here to guide you through this step, ensuring everything is clear and ready for financing approval, so you can move forward with confidence.
4
Permitting & Building
With permits in hand, our team will begin construction. You’ll meet with our construction manager for a "pre-construction" meeting to confirm details and then once again when framing is complete for a "pre-drywall" meeting. Throughout the build, you’ll be in touch with us regularly. For clients who aren’t local, we provide regular updates and photos, so you’re always in the loop. Jeff’s years of hands-on building experience ensure that every detail is managed with care and precision.
5
Orientation & Move-In
As we approach completion, we’ll conduct a final walkthrough to ensure every detail meets your expectations during our "orientation" meeting. We’ll show you how your home operates and make any necessary adjustments before move-in day. Our comprehensive warranty provides peace of mind, covering mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and structural aspects, ensuring your home remains a source of pride for years to come.
